You can, The vanilla launcher has profiles which each can have their own game directory It's the same thing as MultiMC, just official.

Don't make multiple threads... And there is a bug with some of the installers and paths with spaces in it, that was fixed 3 days ago. So either try the latest installer, or try running it in a path without spaces.

1) Old versions are not supported 2) Read the announcements. 3) But a minimal amount of effort into trying to fix your own problems.

Then post a new log, as this error is related to Java 16. If you're getting the same error, then you're still running with Java 16.

Because of people like you who insist on taking our time harping about old versions. If you guys kept it private or elseware then sure people could help you. But you don't, you make mod packs, have issues, or whatever, and then you/your users come to us and waste our time. Combined with what you just said, all issues that you have for old versions have been asked and answered many times while the version was relevant. We have a limited manpower thing, so we've decided that it's best to focus on things that actually need fixing, and not 5 year old tech. We don't care that you like spam clicking your sword instead of waiting on the cooldown. We work on Modern Minecraft.

Yes, old versions are not a priority, and are easily fixed if you google/search for yourself. But you're right seems the mirror that the EAQ was linking to went down. I've fixed that.

Some zip managers like to take control of the .jar file extension away from Java. Make sure you have Java installed and try running Jarfix once, then try the installer again.

Dormant chunks wont solve networking issues. It just saves IO time on the server. So it all depends on what actually is taking all the time. There really isn't much you can do until you identify what the issue is.

The license is clear, but we prefer you do not. As people downloading the installer is how we pay for the severs to run this.

1) This isn't a suggestion so it shouldnt be in the suggestions forum 2) Yes, there are tons of virus sites that package freeware in their adware/virus installers. Only ever download things from the original source. Here. 3) We do not place actual links to those sites here because web crawlers like google will use the fact that we have a reference to them to boost their results in search engines. ESPECIALLY don't do it 7 times in 20 mins -.- That is what's called spam and makes us think you're just advertising for their site.

You don't run mods. You put them in the mods folder.

1.12 is no longer supported on this forum. Please update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support. Also, common sense/and actually putting in effort by using the search feature of this site would answer your questions. That is the reason we lock old threads, because the questions have been answered a thousand times before during the supported lifecycle of that version.

Javadocs are built off crowdsourced mappings/docs that change depending on the status of the crowdsourced projects. So, no there is no good javadocs project or website because they always change. You're more then free to build the javadocs yourself for your workspace. And/Or use your IDE's built in javadoc reader. The only/best official docs are https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ created by users in this repo: https://github.com/MinecraftForge/Documentation

The official documentation, IS minecraft itself. Forge only ever officially supports the version of Java that Minecraft was built for. Any other version of java may or may not work. There is no guaranteed. Forge 1.16 DOES work on 8->17. But you have to do some extra things for 16+ And thus is not supported.

The only thing we 'zip' is the world folder when it detects that something might be broken and/or might break. So just unzip your backup into the world folder and it should be fine. Nothing just randomly zips things.. so there is no way to make it 'stop' because it shouldnt be doing it.

This should have nothing to do with the disc it's on. I constantly work on the Z drive and it works just fine. Also, i would advise against using MCreator, as using a normal modding system is recommended so you actually understand what you're doing.

No. Microsoft wants to charge stupid amounts of money to stop marking unknown exe's as viruses. The Jar works on all operating systems that have java installled. All the exe was was a wrapper around the jar that automatically found java for you. So no. Unless you wanna pay the crapload of money it costs per year to shut up Microsoft's 'anti-virus'.

Try 1.16.5-36.1.25 and provide us with the logs from both sides. I added some extra logging to make it easier to figure out what packet is being bad.
