According to this crash report you still have astral sorcery installed. If you uninstalled it please provide the debug.log from the run without it.

Why can you not update any higher?

Update to the latest version of Java 8. https://adoptopenjdk.net

Please read the Logs section of my signature below and provide the appropriate log in the appropriate manner.

Use Java 8 to run Minecraft, your computer has chosen to use 11 which Forge is not compatible with at this time.

Please don't Necro old threads, if you have an issue make your own.

You waited for the server to fully start up before trying to connect, right?

Please provide the debug.log from your client

The server isn't even aware of any connection attempt being made, do note that if you're running the server on your computer you shouldn't be trying the public IP, just type in localhost Your friend will need the public IP though

Did you restart the router after forwarding the ports? As for what you did wrong with the GitHub, you should have used https://gist.github.com rather than GitHub itself

1.8.9 is no longer supported on this forum due to its age. Please update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

How are you attempting to connect, i.e. what buttons are you clicking?

Please don't Necro old threads, if you have an issue make your own.

I think you'll want to listen for both PlayerInteractEvent.LeftClickBlock and AttackEntityEvent

Threads merged, please don't make duplicate threads. Forge installs itself as a version of Minecraft. Make a new Profile/Installation and select Forge from the version dropdown. (Note: For some reason Forge 1.12.2 gets booted to the bottom of the list.)

It's available, but in an "as-is, no warranties, no user support" fashion.

That's the installation list, not the version list. Forge installs itself as a version of Minecraft. Make a new Profile/Installation and select Forge from the version dropdown. (Note: For some reason Forge 1.12.2 gets booted to the bottom of the list.)

Please show a screenshot of the versions list

What launcher are you using? Please provide a screenshot.

Are we talking about stopping the player attacking all entities, specific entities, entities and blocks, etc.?

In this case you can mostly read "upload to this site" as "post to this site"

What don't you understand? Do you not know what "upload" means?
