Pre-Release for Minecraft 1.2.3

Posted on by

As some may have heard, the update to 1.2.3 has thrown a couple of wrenches in the gears of Forge and most mods. While the update from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 was a matter of fixing a few function calls, 1.2.3 changed pretty important parts of the engine and caused several obvious and a large number of rather subtle bugs. Krapht and I are still working on the port, but we have decided to do a pre-release of our current efforts to allow everyone to help bughunting.

Note that this is a pre-release and is expected to contain bugs and issues. Two crashbugs have been fixed in the last 10 hours and there may still be more lurking in there. Do not use this on a production server or on a map you didn’t backup. Expect this to be updated as bugs and issues are found. (I will edit this post to reflect updates.)

Requires at least Forge 1.3.4.39 and ModLoaderMp 1.2.3 v2.

BuildCraft 3.1.4pre for Minecraft 1.2.3 (SSP)

Report bugs on the forum!

Known Issue:
- Oil does not generate on SMP. (Edit: Fixed by Forge 1.4.0.52 or later.)

(Update #6: Redownload 3.1.4pre core module to fix a crash on blueprint creation.)

  2. im having troubles starting minecraft because there is a conflicts between modloader and mcforge. And the same for modloaderMP and mcforge can u help me plz???

  6. I can’t find the new Forge ether. The link: “Latest Version Number” is just an rar with a txt file in it.

      • Does anyone else want spacetoad back? I have nothing but respect for him as he doesn’t reply with words like the above and it never takes him this long to update. I have nothing but shit to give to sirsengir as he will never be as awesome as spacetoad

        • I noticed the “nothing but shit to give” part. Leave spacetoad alone. Be grateful he was involved as long as he did and be grateful to the new head of the project for his continuation. you asked for something unreasonable and you were refused. Do everyone a favor and get over your self-entitlement. Thank you, sirsengir for working on this at all. I’m using the prerelease now.

          • Who said i wasn’t grateful to spacetoad? I am very grateful. If your level of unreasonable is updating buildcraft then wow.

        • Its people like you who make the minecraft community suck (: SirSengir is one of the best modders out there and your just going to have to accept that Spacetoads gone. If your going to ask for something as stupid as updating something that came out within the past ten minutes and you get refused and then flip out.. well then thats your problem… id like to see you update buildcraft so perfectly. Well done Sirsengir (:

          • @ cardboardpopcorn:
            don´t blame SirSengir and Krapht for this before you looked into the massively changes that 1.2.3 brought to MC! Sengir and Krapht are doing this well and from my own expieriences in coding i could say that bigger updates often take a huge ammount of time. So don´t get nervous and just give them the time they need for this. Otherwise you should think about posting in Forums again like this

          • I can’t update buildcraft. that is why krapht and sengir took it over because they can. If updating buildcraft is so stupid, then why not just drop the project entirely if updating is so stpid?

          • Instead of replying with “I’m working on it” or something along those lines, it was a simple “No.” That is a troll/asshole reply which i will match

        • You received more of a reply than your inane comment deserved.

          If you can’t take “no” for an answer go away kid. Stop whining. It’s done when it’s done.

          • In your place i wouldn´t be such out of respect and choose my words whisely instead of blaming those you want something from…so I think ( and I belive most people here do the same) that youré the one who trolls in here!

        • Yeah because a stable version would certainly mean not being able to spawn oil in SMP. Not everything updates immediately, this is their first BC release together. 1.2 was a massive update and you expect a perfect release right away? Space Toad could not do that, nobody could. Just wait your turn and stop being disrespectful. By being disrespectful to SirSengir and Krapht you are being disrespectful to SpaceToad because they were his choice to be his successors.

    • Mojang/Forge: “We’ve stopped producing the older model of engine. If you want to keep making cars with this type of engine, we suggest you upgrade to the next model.”
      *time passes*
      SirSengir: “Here’s a prototype car that can fit the new engine. It might not work too well, though, but try it if you want. The windscreen wipers might randomly activate, the steering column might fall apart at 100 km/h, or the whole car might explode in your face – we don’t know. Use it at your own risk.”
      *time passes*
      Forge: “Okay, we’ve tweaked the valve timing and fan speed for a bit, and we think it’s good enough to officially release.”
      *not much time passes*
      cardboardpopcorn: “Forge finished tweaking their valve timing and fan speed 10 minute ago. Can you relabel that prototype car that might explode in your face as a final version and start selling it?”

      • You, sir, deserve an Internet.

        @cardboardpopcorn
        The hell? Do you even know how modmaking works? Here’s a quick rundown:
        - Mojang updates MC

        - The MCP devs spend a while looking at the changes in the MC update, then updates MCP to work with the changes, then tests it, then releases it.

        - Risugami spends a while looking at the changes in the MC/MCP update, then updates ModLoader to work with the changes, then tests it, then releases it.

        - Flan spends a while looking at the changes in the MC/MCP/ModLoader updates, then updates ModLoaderMP to work with the changes, then tests it, then releases it.

        - The Forge devs spend a while looking at the changes in the MC/MCP/ModLoader/ModLoaderMP updates, then updates Forge to work with the changes, then tests it, then releases it.

        - Krapht and Sengir spend a while looking at the changes in the MC/MCP/ModLoader/ModLoaderMP/Forge updates, then updates Buildcraft to work with the changes, then tests it, then releases it.

        Especially with such a large, fundamentally-changing update, it takes a very long time to make a mod even work again, let alone work properly. Just because Forge updated recently, doesn’t mean Krapht and Sengir can just bump the version number and release a BC update. They’ve got to look through the changes in Forge (and MLMP and ML and MCP and MC) and find all the things in BC (which is a VERY big mod, code-wise) that will be messed up, change ALL of them, then test it to make sure they haven’t caused any more problems, then change and test again and so on until finally they have an update.

        tl;dr:
        We’re mod makers, not miracle workers (well, SpaceToad might have been). Everyone needs time to update their stuff, especially if they have to wait for other people before they can even start.

        • The fact that there is a playable version of one of the biggest mods impresses me to no end. Especially since none of the other mods with forge are updated yet I think.

        • In fact it is actually SDK which again maintains ModloaderMP.
          He made a new MLMP v3 which everyone now has to align at. Setting back forge and all mods dependent on it.

  10. Good day all !
    I’ve a problem with buildcraft and Mc patcher : when I try to patch my MC with MC Patcher for using my textures packs, it uninstalls buildcraft. Is it a usual bug ? Can you help me please, I really don’t like the default textures…

  12. When I tried to install ModLoaderMp 1.2.3 v2 it’s ok, but when i tried to install Forge 1.3.4.39 after, i got a crash ! (server) Anyone success to make them work together ?

  13. Krapht and SirSengir
    We need mod(s) to control the buildcraft server.
    There is no other mod active. Please pick some1
    We are down do atmost 5 players online, 70% only person and thats usualy me. ITs so lonely.

    Also great works guys

  14. i found a bug- when im scanning a thing tht i made and am turning it into a blueprint the game crashes right when the blueprint is almost done

  15. It could be related to the forge or to ML or something, but the only mod beyond requisites I have for build craft is buildcraft so… yeah. I’m finding it impossible to cut down vines with shears.

  16. i have a question whenever i download forge it just says updateing minecraft what am i doing wrong please help me

    • Does minecraft crash after a while or does it stay the same?
      if it does please get us an error log…if it disappears use tools like MC patcher to get the report

      • it just says downloading minecraft and it gets stuck and never gives me an error report im am running minecraft on a mac idk if that could be part of the problem

        • hmmm sry but I havent got any idea of MACs…but normally this shouldnt be the problem

  17. just to answer some questions how close are you to comfortable release a non pre- release version of buildcraft in terms of bug fixes?
    close, far, or hard to tell at the moment?
    thank you,
    TOAST

  18. im sory but im new to minecraft mods i got the pre relice i extractid everythang in to one nice folder but where do i put it now? and what els do i need to do to git the mod working??? and when i put it where it needs to go is it fine to keep in the folder? sory for ur time and thank u the mod looks amasing

  19. Just tried SMP for a while, we cant find any of the buildcraft specific materials.

  21. Sorry, but i’ve forgotten to ask for an update

    LWJGL 2.4.2 is long out of range

    2.8.3 or 2.8.4 is actual required.

  22. I can’t wait for the next update! That will be your first chance to do real work on the mod. I am really curious about how you will handle the evolution of the mod. Did SpaceToad have any projects that you need to finish or do you have things in mind?
    I am very exited and I hope the future contains the merger with forestry and more compatibilities with other mods.

  23. i need kraft or sirsengir to answer this it seems we have a compatibility issue with minecraft forge and mac’s i was looking at the bc forums and it seems that im not tho only one having this problem someone else has the problem which is the same as mine minecraft simply gets suck at updating minecraft and then says done loading but nothing happens after that it just stops working and it wont even give me an error code please answer me ive been trying too install this mod for a week now and would love to recive some help with this i would assume that you guys are working on pc’s and maybe if you have a Macintosh try to install forge ive never had this problem in the past please kraft or sirsenger plz help me out would be mutch appreciated thanks Matt.

  24. I found a bug that if you use a builder it won’t use up the items you give it, like I built a huge cobble structure with only a stack of cobble that got I back.

  25. Hi all !

    • Dude you have too many mods installed and one of them is interfering with another so you have to change out some mods or if you good enough screw with some config files. but if this is not the case and you only have the modloaders and buildcraft installed i cant help you there. Sorry

      • Ya man its your Steves carts mods get rid of that and you should be OK hope this helps

  26. Hey i found a bug i don’t know if you have fixed it yet but what i set up a refinery and turned all my machines on my game crashed. K BYE!
