Connection refused

What information can I provide you for troubleshooting?

I'm on Ubunut 18.04. and MC java v. 1.15.2. I'm getting this:

[2020-04-18 19:26:16] [SEVERE ] Could not start bot: Connection refused (Connection refused)
[2020-04-18 19:26:16] [INFO ] FishingBot restarts in 3 seconds...

Connection refused could be almost anything...
You can add a copy of your config.properties (CENSOR LOGIN DATA)
Maybe trying to connect to another host can help to figure out the issue

OK, I'm really feeling dumb, but I had incorrectly entered the port number in the config.properties.

However, now that I am able to execute the jar file, I'm not sure it's actually running. No automatic finishing is happening. Here's what I'm seeing:

java -jar Fishingbot.jar Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "19191919191919191919191919191919191919500" at java.base/java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:65) at java.base/java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:652) at java.base/java.lang.Integer.valueOf(Integer.java:983) at systems.kinau.fishingbot.io.ConvertUtils.convert(ConvertUtils.java:24) at systems.kinau.fishingbot.io.PropertyProcessor.processAnnotations(PropertyProcessor.java:69) at systems.kinau.fishingbot.io.Config.init(Config.java:14) at systems.kinau.fishingbot.io.SettingsConfig.<init>(SettingsConfig.java:73) at systems.kinau.fishingbot.FishingBot.<init>(FishingBot.java:69) at systems.kinau.fishingbot.Main.main(Main.java:11)

Okay, somewhere you have entered a too high config property. The config expects somewhere a number, but receives "19191919191919191919191919191919191919500" which could not be interpreted as number. You should use smaller numbers. Max is 2147483647 which however should be high enough

Man, thank you for so many replies! OK, I fixed that but now:

I do have forge installed on my client and on the server(separate machines). I am able to start minecraft on my client and use the forge mods so I'm not sure why I get this error.

[MrKinau]

The fishingbot is a standalone minecraft client and completely independent from your minecraft client. Mods and other features installed to your minecraft installation do not affect the bot. If your targetted server require mods to be installed you could not connect to it using this bot atm, but a spoof for the forge-handshake is already planned (see #38). Sorry for this. The update will be released with the 1.16 release

Hi, I'm facing the same issue. How could I contribute to fix this?

[MrKinau]

I am not.sure if this is fixable at all (skipping all mod handshakes may cause issues), but the main thread is at #38 if you want to write this Forge spoofing bypass you are welcome to create a Pull Request :)
