Posted August 19, 20214 yr Hi, So im new to mods and tried to install my first one today. First I ran the 1.16.5 forge installer, but after that realized that I didn´t had the right version on my minecraft (I was on 1.17.1). After that installed the 1.16.5 version of the game and ran again the recomended forge installer "forge-1.16.5-36.2.0-installer". it said that was sucesfully installed, but it is not in the launcher. Also looked in the "AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\versions" but no forge version there I´ve checked java version and i´m running Java 8 Don´t know what I can be doing wrong Thanks in advance
August 19, 20214 yr Where in the launcher are you looking for Forge? This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy. As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk: The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge. If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan. For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety. Spoiler Logs (Most issues require logs to diagnose): Spoiler Please post logs using one of the following sites (Thank you Lumber Wizard for the list): https://gist.github.com/: 100MB Requires member (Free) https://pastebin.com/: 512KB as guest, 10MB as Pro ($$$) https://hastebin.com/: 400KB Do NOT use sites like Mediafire, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or a site that has a countdown before offering downloads. What to provide: ...for Crashes and Runtime issues: Minecraft 1.14.4 and newer: Post debug.log Older versions: Please update... ...for Installer Issues: Post your installer log, found in the same place you ran the installer This log will be called either installer.log or named the same as the installer but with .log on the end Note for Windows users: Windows hides file extensions by default so the installer may appear without the .jar extension then when the .log is added the log will appear with the .jar extension Where to get it: Mojang Launcher: When using the Mojang launcher debug.log is found in .minecraft\logs. Curse/Overwolf: If you are using the Curse Launcher, their configurations break Forge's log settings, fortunately there is an easier workaround than I originally thought, this works even with Curse's installation of the Minecraft launcher as long as it is not launched THROUGH Twitch: Spoiler Make sure you have the correct version of Forge installed (some packs are heavily dependent on one specific build of Forge) Make a launcher profile targeting this version of Forge. Set the launcher profile's GameDir property to the pack's instance folder (not the instances folder, the folder that has the pack's name on it). Now launch the pack through that profile and follow the "Mojang Launcher" instructions above. Video: Spoiler or alternately, Fallback ("No logs are generated"): If you don't see logs generated in the usual place, provide the launcher_log.txt from .minecraft Server Not Starting: Spoiler If your server does not start or a command window appears and immediately goes away, run the jar manually and provide the output. Reporting Illegal/Inappropriate Adfocus Ads: Spoiler Get a screenshot of the URL bar or copy/paste the whole URL into a thread on the General Discussion board with a description of the Ad. Lex will need the Ad ID contained in that URL to report it to Adfocus' support team. Posting your mod as a GitHub Repo: Spoiler When you have an issue with your mod the most helpful thing you can do when asking for help is to provide your code to those helping you. The most convenient way to do this is via GitHub or another source control hub. When setting up a GitHub Repo it might seem easy to just upload everything, however this method has the potential for mistakes that could lead to trouble later on, it is recommended to use a Git client or to get comfortable with the Git command line. The following instructions will use the Git Command Line and as such they assume you already have it installed and that you have created a repository. Open a command prompt (CMD, Powershell, Terminal, etc). Navigate to the folder you extracted Forge’s MDK to (the one that had all the licenses in). Run the following commands: git init git remote add origin [Your Repository's URL] In the case of GitHub it should look like: https://GitHub.com/[Your Username]/[Repo Name].git git fetch git checkout --track origin/master git stage * git commit -m "[Your commit message]" git push Navigate to GitHub and you should now see most of the files. note that it is intentional that some are not synced with GitHub and this is done with the (hidden) .gitignore file that Forge’s MDK has provided (hence the strictness on which folder git init is run from) Now you can share your GitHub link with those who you are asking for help. [Workaround line, please ignore]
August 19, 20214 yr Author Thanks for your response Im looking in the main page and in the instalations tab -> New instalation (see images LAucher 1 & launcher 2) Also I´m attaching the version folder where you can see that no forge folder was created and a screenshot of the "Successfully installed..." Regrards, VD
August 19, 20214 yr Author Well, didn´t see that comming... I know that it´s not forge related but would you recomend installing in a new windows instance? Nothing that can be done in the installer right? Anyway thanks for your support!
August 19, 20214 yr It could also be that thing where antivirus runs the installer in a sandbox so it passes but doesn't actually do anything This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

August 19, 20214 yr Author As seen in my reaserch, I´ve deactivated the antivirus, anyway I´m installing right now on a new Windows user, I´ll let you know shortly how it goes!
August 19, 20214 yr Author Something should be really damaged with me or my PC, did everything from scratch. New Windows user (non ASCII), installed minecraft, installed 1.16.5 opened the game, closed the game, closed antivirus, ran forge installer. It said sucessfull and now not only no instalation appears, but no install log generated... I´m lost here... only thing I can imagine is in other computer Any ideas?
August 21, 20214 yr Just to be clear you've disabled every antivirus you have while running the installer, correct?

August 23, 20214 yr Author Just to update, Reinstalled Minecraft and compleatly deleted the antivirus (COMODO) and finally could install Forge. In the new Windows account and also in the non ASCII account. Problem solved. Thanks all, seems the antivirus was the problem, not only disable but had to delete it.
