class_1921/cloth-client-events-v0.mixins.json crash on FO 2.x.x/3.x.x

[Madis0]

Describe the bug

This cloth-client-events-v0.mixins.json error shows up on the first launch of FO
or

Error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class net.minecraft.class_1921

Workaround: just launch again

Expected behavior

No crash

Observed/actual behavior

Crash

Steps To Reproduce

1. Download modpack
2. Launch it

Modpack version

3.1.0-alpha.1, 3.0.0-alpha.3, possibly others

Launcher

Curseforge Launcher

Install method

Fresh install/new profile

Additional context

Second launch fixes it, and I'm not yet sure why this happens in the first place.
Emma suggested it may be due to duplicate Cloth API in the modpack (as Curseforge Launcher adds it automatically).
Edit: removing it didn't fix, but downgrading did... for now.

[Excaliburning]

Same issue. Installed through CurseForge launcher, I checked the fabric loader dep file, it is there. See the written strings below (as downloaded). Launching it a second time fixes it, as mentioned by OP. Only the first launch causes the crash.

  "version": 1,

Edit by Madis0: collapsed and formatted the json

[Madis0]

Thank you, I am indeed aware that this is still an issue.

Are you suggesting that overridden dependencies could cause it? That seems reasonable, but I'm not sure if I want to disable Animatica right now though (because, well, it works 😁). After all 3.1.0 is in alpha at the moment, so things like that are expected.

[Excaliburning]

Are you suggesting that overridden dependencies could cause it?

Not at all, I provided the .json strings in case something was wrong in the provided file, if it seems alright with you then it is most likely not the cause. You've helped me plenty already in the comments section on CF.
Animatica works nicely so far, I see no reason to disable it either. Maybe a disclaimer that the first launch will crash and not to worry about it is enough for now, as I cannot understand the root of this issue myself (lack of knowledge of Fabric and Mixin). To be fair, it is a fairly minor one since it is fixed from the second launch and beyond.

[Madis0]

Disclamer is a good point, I forgot to do it so far :D

[Madis0]

Unpinned as it should no longer affect 3.x.x and it never did affect 1.x.x. 2.x.x remains an issue for the time being:
shedaniel/cloth-api#40

[nsde]

Is this issue still persistent?

[Madis0]

Unfortunately, I think yes.

[Madis0]

So, 4.0.0-alpha.4 was released which removed Cloth API entirely.

Since existent mods already worked in 4.0.0 alphas without it, it is probably safe to assume this dependency is no longer needed, persumably due to #18. Will close this issue when I'll update 1.18 and remove it from there as well.

[Madis0]

Fixed in 3.10.0.
