Safe mode

[Arkaiid]

In testing mods for a unrelated issue (Other post for more context) I am getting the message "Failed to load datapacks, can't proceed with server load. You can either fix your datapacks or reset to vanilla with --safemode"
the path to the issue doesn't exist, So i'm trying to set the forge server into safemode. However, --Safemode doesn't work in the run.sh file or JVM args and I can't find any information online.

Help appreciated!!!

Why would you want to use safemode? Reverting to the vanilla datapack will likely stop all your mods from working properly.

As to the real problem, no log = no help

Is safemode not reverting the the vanilla datapacks? The console reads "Failed to load datapacks, can't proceed with server load. You can either fix your datapacks or reset to vanilla with --safemode"

I know the issue is that the world used is expecting mods that aren't there (removing batches for testing)
I didn't think the log would be too important here, and it's a hassle to get it off the server PC. Here it is.

You can't remove mods that change world generation and then load a save that used that mod.

The game refuses to do that because it would break the save.

Imagine a mod that provides a new biome and then trying to load a save without that biome.

If you want to test without a worldgen mod, you will need a new/different save.

Ah, okay. I did try a new save, but I wanted to make sure that it wasn't the world that was broken. Thank you!
