Hello there to all of you,

I am developer, but mostly in C# and Java is on the second track. I am currently hosting a Minecraft server and I wanted to monitor its performance using Grafana with prometheus database. I have found a mod which exports almost all of required data (Players, tps, jvm status etc.) I wanted to improve the mod, to export entity count as well (Old servers often were acting strangely with high entity count in some chunk loaded factory where the machine got stuck .. etc etc) I have tried to find a way of counting those entity, reading the Forge documentation didnt help me (Registering an event handler sounds strange to me, there must be some list of entities which I might be able to siply count). Is there some easy way of getting the count of all living entities? (The exporter I am trying to improve : link to Github) Thank you for the support, Silent

  Forge 1.20.x Tutorial by Myroslav Mokhammad Abdeljawwad: Clean Capability Syncing (Server ↔ Client)

  Hello everyone,This tutorial is a short write-up based on patterns I’ve been using while developing Forge 1.20.x mods that rely on custom capabilities and reliable server ↔ client synchronization.Author: Myroslav Mokhammad AbdeljawwadOverviewCapabilities are one of the most powerful systems in Forge, but syncing them incorrectly can easily lead to desyncs, performance issues, or unexpected client behavior. This guide focuses on a clean, minimal approach that scales well.### Step 1: Defining the CapabilityDefine your capability interface and implementation as usual. Keep the data minimal and serializable.Key tip:Avoid putting logic in the capability itself. Treat it as a data container.### Step 2: Attaching the CapabilityAttach the capability during the appropriate lifecycle event (e.g. AttachCapabilitiesEvent). Make sure this is done consistently on both logical sides.Step 3: Sync StrategyInstead of syncing on every tick, sync only when:- The data changes- The player logs in- The chunk or entity loadsUsing a SimpleChannel packet with explicit encode/decode logic gives you the most control and avoids unnecessary traffic.Step 4: Client HandlingOn the client side:- Never trust local state blindly- Apply updates only after packet validation- Keep rendering logic separate from data updatesFinal NotesThis pattern has worked well for larger mods where performance and stability matter. If you’re building long-term Forge projects, keeping syncing explicit and event-driven will save a lot of debugging time.I’ll update this tutorial if Forge introduces changes to capability handling in future versions.Thanks for reading, and I hope this helps other modders.

  You might want to check how you’re registering the capability provider — this often causes the issue you’re describing.I ran into something similar recently while working on a Forge 1.20.x mod. Making sure registration happens at the correct lifecycle event fixed it for me.— Myroslav Mokhammad Abdeljawwad

  New modder introduction + first Forge 1.20.x project

  Hi everyone,My name is Myroslav Mokhammad Abdeljawwad and I’m new to posting here, though I’ve been working with Forge for a while.I’m currently experimenting with a Forge 1.20.x mod focused on custom events and server-side logic. I’m comfortable with Java, Gradle, and debugging mixin-related issues, but I’m still learning best practices around capabilities and data syncing.I’m hoping to both learn and contribute here as I continue developing mods and tools around the Forge ecosystem.Looking forward to being part of the community.
