Mac OS 10.8.2
Tried to run the App version and get the same error that everyone else appears to get.

AMIDST ran in JAR mode without -noverify!
Use: java -noverify -jar AMIDST.jar

Opened the .app package and grabbed the .jar file.
Opened terminal and changed directories to where the .jar is located.
Ran the command " java -noverify -jar AMIDST.jar "
Result

Still would not launch. I am running java 6 and will not be updating just yet. Could this be the issue?

Strange, maybe it doesn't work on Java six? im2awsm, are you running Java 6 as well? This is what I get in the command window and the program runs fine:

F:\Temp>java -noverify -jar AMIDST.jar

I'm on Java 7 and 6 in 32 and 64 bit, so I guess it's choosing the 64 bit version 7? Also, are either of you running modified minecraft jar files? If so, have you tried reverting temporarily to vanilla minecraft and trying that?

I do have a modified minecraft.jar file. But I am not at the point where that would matter. I am not trying to open my world or save. The application will not launch at all. I double click amidst and immediately it gives the error message.

Weird, all I can figure is the java 6 problem, but I don't really know, skidoodle will have to weigh in on that. Do you have another computer you have access to that you can try it on?

How do i open it on mac? It always say use novedify.

[Zudexa]

I'm getting an odd error. It's saying "AMIDST ran in JAR mode without -noverify! Use: java -noverify -jar AMIDST.jar". How do I fix this?

Both of you: run it from the command line / terminal. Use this command:

java -noverify -jar AMIDST.jar

[Guaver]

To clarify I am running a windows 7 64 bit system and I have run into the same errors as the people above me. I have used amidst before and usually the .exe works perfectly. Now neither the .exe or the .jar file run from a bat file, command prompt, or just run directly are working. Please let me know if there are any other options I could try or if something has changed in the latest version other than whats on the op post. Thanks!

Both of you: Download the debug version linked in the OP, then post any error messages in the debug screen as spoilers here. To do that, once the window shows the error, click on the window icon in the upper left, click on Edit then Select all, then Edit and Copy, paste here.

Is the jar file in the active folder? I'm not sure how macs handle this, but the AMIDST.jar file has to be somewhere the computer can find it. You may need to ask someone who knows macs how to run something from terminal, because I've just run out of mac knowledge.

[randomdice101]

I just wanted to put my input on this. I know why the program is crashing even with the
java -noverify -jar AMIDST.jar option. It's Minecraft forge's fault.

I had forge installed tried to run it amidst didn't want to hear anything about it. Just reset my minecraft.jar and like magic its working again.

Ok. I am stupid. Amidst will not open at all if you have a modified minecraft.jar file. I thought the application would open then you can point it to the files you want to access or enter in your own seed. But it looks like upon launch it does some sort of check for a minecraft jar file that is unmolested.

So yea. Just like the first page says you all need a fresh install for this to work. No mods. No forge.

How do u download strong hold finder for 1.4.2

[cuzicouldyay]

I've got this working on my 10.6.8 OSX. Found myself on the map, it matches my seed. It's a bit late at the moment, so tomorrow I'll probably start checking on the NPC villages, maybe even a stronghold. Thanks so much for making this!

OK, great you got it working. I have a modded jar file and never have any problems, so I didn't think of that. Though I don't have Forge, so maybe that's it.

From the link in the OP?

[TroyParry]

Works first go, no problems. However, the 2 strongholds I searched for do not exist. All I found were Silverfish in the cobblestone.

If you found silverfish, you found the stronghold, as far as I know, silverfish don't spawn anywhere else.

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I have a question. Last night Amidst worked for me perfectly. This morning, there was an update to MC (1.4.4) and now Amdist won't bring up any of my maps. Is there correlation here or could it be another problem?

Thanks so much and thank you for such a kick-butt program!

[Taiine]

I just updated and now it wont read any of my maps. It just shows a blank world, with and with out a modded minecraft.jar



Every map, every zoom, scrolling around a bit.. it's all blank.

[jlp1528]

Yes, I have this problem as well. It happens on a lot of updates, but it always gets fixed pretty quick. In the meantime, you could always try Minutor. Sure, it's more of a mapper than a structure finder, but it's better than nothing. Oh, and huge tip if you're just looking for villages: turn on lighting. There are only two sources of light in Minecraft that spawn naturally on the surface: lava and village lamppost torches. You'll have to try it yourself to see what I mean, but it's pretty obvious. Try it out. You won't be sorry. Trust me.
Hope that helps!
