Line 24 in 8538d87

private final static String promotionsUrl = "https://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/promotions_slim.json";

Lex announced on Discord some changes to the maven server it seems the current promotions url is not found anymore.

Instead, this link works https://files.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/promotions_slim.json

Is there any known work around? Can I compile a new version of this with the updated URL and drop it in to my docker container somewhere?

[MattFellows]

PR raised to fix this, just in case that is helpful at all ;)
#608

If anyone is using docker-compose and want a temporary fix.

• docker-compose pull to get the last version of the minecraft-server image
• clone the https://github.com/itzg/mc-image-helper/ repo
• run ./gradlew distTar (make sure you have java 21 in your PATH
• under ./build/libs you'll find the jar
• attach the volume containing your jar to replace the faulty one
  volumes:
  - ./[PATH_TO_YOUR_CLONED_REPO]/build/libs/mc-image-helper-0.0.0-master-SNAPSHOT.jar:/usr/share/mc-image-helper-1.48.0/lib/mc-image-helper-1.48.0.jar:ro

i'm not pretending this is a good practice or anything else, but it just worked for me at least until the pull request is merged

Thanks @MattFellows , I'll get that PR moved through the steps right now.

And thanks @Authen15 for the update info.
