I have a 1.18.2 modpack running Forge 40.1.73 which will periodically not load mods always caused by a ConcurrentModificationException. I've seen Create, Configured, Twigs, Chimes, and more all fail to load with some sort ConcurrentModificationException or InvocationTargetException with a nested ConcurrentModificationException and sometimes a ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. In my testing environment running Forge 40.1.74 I added a few Create addons and now Create is semi-regularly failing to load, but seemingly irrespective of whether or not I have the addons enabled if anything the errors seem to be triggered by me enabling or disabling the addons rather than the addons themselves.
In most cases the mod loading failures can be resolved by relaunching and in more extreme cases by deleting the config folder.
I've collected a few different crash reports and a debug.log from my latest Create crash. https://gist.github.com/falxie/5dfac3d547743a2f4ace571725e81a00
The inconsistency of the crashes and the different mods effected make this incredibly hard to nail down to a single mod. I'm not sure if this is an issue with each mod or a combination of mods, Java, or Forge.
