Sponge Coremod¶
Sponge Coremod integrates Minecraft Forge so you can also run Minecraft Forge mods. In fact, it’s more like Sponge itself is a Forge mod that then loads Sponge plugins, but this is a technical detail.
Users who do not want to use Minecraft Forge can consider SpongeVanilla.
Reading the Download Filename¶
When you download Sponge Coremod, the name of the file will provide some important version information.
The format of the filename is {MCVersion}-{ForgeVersion}-{SpongeAPIVersion}{SpongeBuildId}
Note that there is no separator between the Sponge API Version and the Sponge Build ID.
| MCVersion | The minecraft version. Only clients compatible with this version can connect. |
| ForgeVersion | The version of Forge this file is built for. Preferably your server should run this exact version of Forge. |
| SpongeAPIVersion | The version of the SpongeAPI implemented by this file. This is what Sponge plugins depend on. |
| SpongeBuildId | The build number of Sponge. This is what you should supply when reporting bugs or seeking support. |
Example¶
For example the file name 1.8-1371-2.1DEV-439 tells us that this Sponge coremod is compatible to Minecraft 1.8, best used with Forge version 1371, provides the API Version 2.1 and has the build id Dev-439
