Forge won't load worlds or join servers- previous topics on this didn't help me.

Hi, I made this mod, inspired by my friends and various loud streamers, and it's perfect for YouTubers who want a little extra pizzaz when they scream in their videos.   The mod works by detecting a high sound level (which you can configure) through your computer’s audio input. Once the sound threshold is reached, your player character will instantly explode! It doesn't use any external APIs; it just relies on the built-in javax sampled package. Check it out!    

Good day, I know this is years later and I hate to necropost but I ran into this exact same issue today and yours was the only one that popped up in my search. Turns out my file system permissions were all kinds of messed up in my minecraft directory. Here's how I fixed it: 1. Open terminal 2. Navigate to the .minecraft directory using the cd command, it can be helpful to have your file explorer open next to your terminal if you're a more visual person like me 3. On my OS (PopOS) the folders with messed up permissions had a padlock on them 4. Ran the command  sudo chmod a+rwx [fileName] I also ran  sudo chmod 777 [fileName] and got the same results with both. However it turns out a lot of my sub folders were messed up too which meant I had to make the changes recursively, which in plain English means all of the sub-folders under the directory. So I ended up running the command  sudo chmod -R 777 [fileName] which then changed all of the subfolders and files and ended up saving me a LOT of time doing it one at a time like the first two commands do. 5. After fixing permissions in the various subfolders ran the installer with the command java -jar [latestForgeInstallerNameGoesHereWithoutSquareBrackets] 6. Installed and launched without a hitch! Hope this helps new Linux users as for most advanced users this breakdown isn't very helpful, I'm still learning a ton myself. Additional note that might clear up future confusion, do not include [ or ] in your commands that I've listed here, I just use [ and ] in my personal notes to denote that I need to put something from the file system in the command. If yours was anything like mine all of the files from /de/oceanlabs/mcp/mcp_config/1.18-20211130.085255/mcp_config-1.18-20211130.085255-mappings.txt all had the wrong permissions. -Zamorakphat

hi fellas I remember back when I was in high school and had way more time to develop mods, there were tons of active posts, and while the documentation wasn’t always super extensive, you could always find someone to help you out with your questions or see someone else’s threads that were really informative. But lately, I’ve noticed that the forum seems pretty empty compared to how it used to be. I’m wondering, is there a specific reason for this? Is it just that the community has moved to other platforms, like Discord? It feels like a lot of the knowledge base and conversations have shifted over there. I’m just curious to hear others’ thoughts on this, and if anyone knows why the forum has become quieter, I’d love to know! Thanks!
