Thank you! Sorry for wasting your time with such a simple problem. I guess I was carrying the mindset of how I installed mods when I used to play years ago. I appreciate you replying so fast

I apologize, they are .jar files. But they still need to be extracted like .jar files. Do I just not extract them? If that's the case then I feel like a massive idiot for trying to figure this out for over 2 hours

I did at first. But I then removed them, re-extracted them, then put them in. I AM extracting the rars, then putting the folder extracted from the rar into the mod folder. But I am not directly extracting the rar into the mods folder

So what should I do to fix this problem? I've tried redownloading the mods, redownloading Minecraft, redownloading Forge, and using any combo of mods possible

Would that be the logs found in the logs folder in minecraft?

It does not crash when the mod folder is empty
