This is indeed a serious ML compatibility bug. Line 42 of ModLoaderConnectionHandler is: if (!ModLoaderHelper.sidedHelper.clientConnectionClosed(manager, mod)) This is within method connectionClosed(INetworkManager), who's javadocs clearly states it will be called on BOTH CLIENT AND SERVER (IConnectionHandler.java:56) On the client side, ModLoaderHelper.sidedHelper is set to an instance of ModLoaderClientHelper upon said instance's construction. However, on the server side, ModLoaderHelper.sidedHelper is never set and defaults to null. It may be notable that all usages of ModLoaderHelper.sidedHelper within the class ModLoaderHelper itself is guarded by null checks (ModLoaderHelper.java:127, ModLoaderHelper.java:159). Hope this helps!

Double check that you have the latest version of everything. Also: You have both NEI and CCC installed...

Could you post your RUN.bat?

Could you post ForgeModLoader-server-0.log?

Read the EAQ

Are you sure you're calling Configuration.getBlock() and not getItem()?

Logs? Also try updating Forge.

Download this: http://files.minecraftforge.net/fmllibs/fml_libs.zip and extract to /lib in your .minecraft folder.

Have you tried installing Forge a using different method? (i.e. using a launcher)

First of all, a big thanks to Abe for filing a useful and informational bug report. The logs point to a bug in AutoSwitch, not Forge. Go bug Thebombzen for that.

You know that little star up in the top right corner...? I think it's calling for you.

Yes. There is a significant difference: Optifine is compatible with Forge. MCPatcher isn't.

Don't use MCPatcher. Use Optifine instead.

Make sure your internet is working and try again. If that still doesn't work, download this: http://files.minecraftforge.net/fmllibs/fml_libs.zip and extract it to C:\Users\Alex Miller\Desktop\modding\jars\lib\

MultiMC has been known to work.

Have you tried using a different launcher?

If a "Hello" window popped up, there should already be logs...look for something like ForgeModLoader-client-0.log in your .minecraft.

Are you using a launcher?

Try updating Forge.

Logs?

MCPatcher isn't compatible with Forge. Use Optifine instead.

Yes. Make sure to select latest and not recommended, as recommended still appears to be 5.x
