I recently downloaded forge to be able to start using mods. I got it installed and went to play but when I started playing I noticed my data packs weren't working. The mod I installed was but none of my vanilla tweaks were working. I have looked everywhere to try and see if this has happened to someone else and am having no luck. I really am at a stand still here and don't know what to do, I'm super frustrated at this point. If someone could please help I would sincerely appreciate it!! Incase it helps I am using a MacBook Pro macOS Monterey Version 12.4 2.3 GHz 8 - Core Intel Core i9 16GB AMD Radeon Pro, the version of Forge I have installed is 43.1.1 I have Optifine installed as well but have tried taking it on and off and data packs still will not work. PLEASE HELP!
