I moved my .minecraft folder to my D Drive because the C drive was running out of space. I tried downloading forge but I couldn't see the Forge version I wanted in the Minecraft Launcher installations. I tried again and again and it's still not working. Seeking help so I can finally install forge properly.

Assuming you redirected your launcher to use the .minecraft folder in the D drive, you would also need to tell Forge where in the D drive the minecraft folder is located; otherwise, you won't be able to see it in the launcher installations.

Ok, then I'm going to assume you didn't redirect your launcher to use the .minecraft folder in the D drive. If you copied and pasted it assuming it does, then that won't work. You either need to force the minecraft launcher to use the .minecraft folder in the separate folder using the `-w` or `--workDir` arguments or create a symlink to the .minecraft folder in the D drive to where it's supposed to be in the C drive.

in the tutorial i saw, im supposed to make a new installation before installing forge. i made a new installation directed it to the .minecraft folder. i downloaded forge but saw no forge installation. i saw a tutorial online on how to fix this and said to direct when downloading to this file called something like launcher_accounts_microsoft_store but the file wont show as an option when im picking a directory to install forge.

      Title: Why Is It So Hard to Rename and Restructure Mods Like Xray or AntiXray? 🤔 Post text: Hey everyone! I’ve been digging into Minecraft modding for a while and have one big question that I can’t figure out on my own. Maybe someone with more experience could help or give me some advice. Here’s the issue: When I take a “normal” Minecraft mod — for example, one that just adds some blocks or new items — I can easily change its structure, package names, or even rebrand it entirely. It’s straightforward. But as soon as I try this with cheat-type mods like XrayMod or AntiXray, everything falls apart. Even if I just rename the classes, refactor the packages, or hide its identity somehow, the mod either breaks or stops working properly. XrayMod in particular is proving to be a nightmare to modify without losing its core function. So my question is — why is this so much harder with cheat mods like Xray? Is there something fundamentally different about how they’re coded, loaded, or protected that prevents simple renaming or restructuring? And if so, how can I actually learn to understand someone else’s cheat mod enough to safely refactor it without breaking the core features? I’ve already been spending over two months trying to figure this out and haven’t gotten anywhere. It feels like there must be some trick or knowledge I’m missing. Would really appreciate any thoughts, tips, or references — maybe there are guides or techniques for understanding cheat-mod internals? Or if you’ve successfully “disguised” a cheat mod like Xray before, I’d love to hear how you did it. Thanks in advance for any help or discussion. ✌️

      Game crashes after loading a schematic

      By TileEntity · Posted

      Where did you get the schematic? Source/Link? And do use an own modpack or a pre-configured from curseforge? If yes, which one On a later time, I can make some tests on my own - but I need the schematic and the modpack name
