Is the Bukkit-Connect plugin incompatible with Cauldron?

I'm using Cauldron to run Pixelmon servers. It's the only way I know of to run Forge with Bukkit plugins. I want to link my servers together and I was able to set up a working LilyPad server on my VPS. The bukkit-connect plugin wouldn't work on my cauldron server. I even set up a completely clean server with the latest Cauldron 1.1147.04.107 for MC 1.7.2 and bukkit-connect #71 and this is the error that occurs in console.

[Server] INFO [22:44:36 INFO]: [Connect] Unable to start plugin - unsupported version?

I am not familiar with Cauldron, though with the unsupported version error I don't quite think it will. Try running an earlier version, and it that doesn't work, you may be out of luck.

I tried some earlier versions of the plugin, but no luck...

First BungeeCord, now this. Somewhere somehow, there must be a way to network BukkitForge servers...


Anyway, thanks for all your help.

The problem is since 1.7, forge has required all connecting clients to identify themselves as having forge installed. As bungee/lilypad are intercepting the initial handshake, and neither of them handle the additional fields forge expects, they get rejected by the server.

There is an experimental branch of bungee to add forge support, but that has been put on hiatus with the news that the forge protocol is undergoing another rewrite. The ticket to add forge support to lilypad was closed last December with no indications of being reopened.

To cut a long story short, no there is no (current?) way to network BungeeForge servers.
