This FAQ has many guides and solutions - reading this before asking for help could save you a lot of time, as it accounts for the vast majority of issues people run into that we're aware of but can't fix on our end.

Supported versions and platforms

  • We only support Forge here. We cannot help you with Fabric, Spigot, etc...
  • We support all versions under the tiered support policy.
    • Full support for 1.21.4, 1.21.3, 1.21.1, 1.20.6, 1.20.4 and 1.20.1
    • Legacy support for all other versions
    • Minimal support for select versions (e.g. 1.20.3 - use 1.20.4 instead)
    • More details here.

 

Rules

  1. Piracy (aka "cracked launchers") and cheats (aka "PvP clients", "x-ray mods", etc...) are strictly forbidden here.
  2. When you need help, please always make a new thread. Do not post in old support threads.
  3. When making a new thread, you must include a link to your log on https://pastebin.com or https://paste.ee. Instructions on where to find this and how to upload it are in this forum post.

 

Exit/error codes

Here's a list of exit codes and what they mean:

  • Error code 0: Someone clicked "Quit game" and the game closed successfully
  • Error code 1 and -1: The game crashed, refer to the log and/or crash report for details
  • Error code -1073741819: A game library crashed. Update your drivers and make sure you're using the right Java version
