Hello,
When trying to load a world that was created with mods, I get the following error:
I get to option buttons - Safe Mode and Back to the Title Screen
Clicking on Safe Mode doesn't work - when I hover it, there's a border around it, and when I click on it it stays for a few seconds, and then disappears, with nothing else happening.
Before I had this problem I had another problem - I'll describe what I had earlier, what I did to come to this state, and I attached logs to this post at its bottom.
I played the game for some time, v1.6.15, with Forge build 1.16.5-forge-36.0.54, build with 25 mods (Quark among them, in case it matters), and it worked, with one one exception, though, that I got every time, that it said that the world was using experimental settings or something like that, and gave me to options - either "I know what I'm doing" or "Create a Backup" - and I created a backup every single time, and it worked just fine.
I played aboveground mostly, lowest I've gone down was exploring in existing cave systems.
The only new thing I did in the game compared to the last time it worked before freezing was that I started mining deep underground - and it did seem a bit strange to me - there was bedrock at around y=0 instead of at lower (could have been due to mods), and on the minimap I was using (Xaero's minimap) - it showed deep-enough just black in some parts, between lava chambers - the exposed part of that darkness was just regular cobblestone/ores, and only when I mined those blocks it displayed them on the map (drew them over the blackness). I was told by someone in the Forge Discord server that those features don't exist in 1.16.5, so I assume that they came from mods. I do remember that Quark has some underground features, in particular new underground biomes.
Today, for whatever reason, when I tried launching the same world, it froze when I clicked on Create a Backup, and it kept doing that.
I reinstalled Forge (same build) and kept getting the same problem.
I reinstalled Minecraft and kept getting the problem.
I tried playing with no mods at all - kept getting the same problem.
Only when I removed Forge completely and played vanilla the world loaded succesfully - with the warning of the experimental settings again - but it works in vanilla just fine.
I then tried debugging the mods, and found out the Mods section in the client that some mod features were disabled due to not-up-to-date Java installation, so I pointed the Forge profile to a latest-version Java installation, and then those warnings/errors about those features being deactivated disappeared.
I tried starting the world again in the Forge profile, and it didn't work.
Today, as I was doing this, a new version of Forge was released, 1.16.5-forge-36.0.55 so I installed it. It didn't help and got me to my current problem about datapacks. I checked my save's folder's datapacks folder, but it's empty. I also checked in NBTExplorer in my save's data in level.dat > Data > DataPacks > Enabled, and there's only 1 entry, and that's vanilla. There are 0 datapacks disabled, in case it matters.
I tried in both this one and in 1.16.5-forge-36.0.54 to open the world and it didn't work.
I tried also recreating the world, opening the world in vanilla, modifying the world (destroyed a block, picked up a few blocks) and saving it, recreating the world, trying a new save file - none of them worked.
I suspect that the problem was due Quark or some mod/setting(s) corrupting the save file with some weird generation, but I don't know neither how to verify it nor how to debug it or fix it.
I attached the full logs (all the logs I have, didn't touch anything).
I'd highly appreciate help with this - out of the blue all of my progress and work is inaccessible for me.
