Wizards of Lua

The Art of Spell Crafting

Installation

Wizards of Lua is a modification of Minecraft. In order to use it, you have to modify an existing Minecraft installation. This short description shows you how this is done.

Since the Wizards of Lua is a server-side modification only the server part of Minecraft must be modded. For clients no modification is required. However, if you want to play Wizards of Lua in singleplayer, you need to modify the client as well.

Requirements

The Wizards of Lua modification requires Minecraft 1.12.2 (Java Edition)
and Forge 14.23.n.n

Download

Wizards of Lua from Curse Forge

Installing Wizards of Lua on a Server

Download Forge Installer 14.23.3.2655 (or later)
Copy forge-1.12.2-14.23.3.2655-installer.jar into a new and empty directory where you want to run the server from
Change into that directory and run
```
java -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.3.2655-installer.jar --installServer
```
This will download additional files from the internet and create the server jar file

Run vanilla Minecraft with

java -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.1.12.2.jar nogui

This will try to start the server. But since you need to sign the eula, the program aborts shorty afterwards with something like this:

[17:04:47] [Server thread/INFO]: You need to agree to the EULA in order to run the server. Go to eula.txt for more info.
[17:04:47] [Server thread/INFO]: Stopping server
[17:04:47] [Server thread/INFO]: Saving worlds
[17:04:47] [Server thread/WARN] [FML]: Can't revert to frozen GameData state without freezing first.
[17:04:47] [Server thread/INFO] [FML]: The state engine was in incorrect state POSTINITIALIZATION and forced into state SERVER_STOPPED. Errors may have been discarded.
[17:04:47] [Server Shutdown Thread/INFO]: Stopping server
[17:04:47] [Server Shutdown Thread/INFO]: Saving worlds

Now open the file eula.txt and change the following line:
```
eula=false
```
to
```
eula=true
```
and save the file.
Create the mods directory
```
mkdir mods
```
Now download the latest version of Wizards of Lua and copy it into the mods directory of your server directory.
Now run Minecraft Forge with
```
java -Xms1024M -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.3.2655-universal.jar nogui
```
This will start the modded version of Minecraft with Forge and Wizards Of Lua activated. Now you can execute Lua commands. Let’s give it a try:
Type the following line into the command-line:
```
/lua print(1+1)
```
If everything works fine you should receive something like the following output:
```
[17:06:13] [Server thread/INFO]: 2
```
Now start you Minecraft client and log into your new server
Don’t forget to give yourself operator priviliges

If you plan to allow public access to your server, you may want to secure the built-in web-based Lua editor by using SSL and a self-signed certificate.

Installing Wizards of Lua on a Client

Please note that installing Wizards of Lua on the client is not required if you only plan to play it on the server. However, if you want to play Wizards of Lua in singleplayer, you need to modify the client. This procedure assumes that you have a copy of Minecraft installed. Also you must have a working Java Runtime Environment (Version 1.8). If not, get Minecraft, get Java, install both and come back here.
