Recently I installed Minecraft 1.6.4 and tried afterward to install Forge 1.6.4. I tried different versions of the installer like:

 

9.11.0.898

9.11.0.897

9.11.0.884

 

But everytime I open it I get a window with "Mod system installer" for title, a "OK" button in the bottom right and nothing else.

 

I can't even click the button and can't close the window.

 

I tried updating my Java but it's up to date. I also tried looking for tutorials to help me install it in case it was a mistake from my side but nothing helped.

 

And just to mention if it can be helpful, my OS version is 10.6.8.

I had this same problem myself.

 

It is possible to install a server with Apple's J6, because there is a shortcut to install the server in the current directory -- from Terminal, use something like

 

java -jar minecraftforge-installer-1.6.2-9.10.0.848.jar --InstallServer

 

This will install forge as a server in your current directory.

 

For the client, however, there is no such luck. Report the bug to Apple https://bugreport.apple.com -- reference bug report # 14972051

 

Java 7 does work, but I don't know of a version of it for OS 10.6.8.

Give us the console output from trying to run the installer gui in case anything explodes that we should know.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

For me, the output is:

 

keybounceMBP:TestServer76 michael$ echo $java
/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Commands/java
keybounceMBP:TestServer76 michael$ $java -jar minecraftforge-installer-1.6.2-9.10.0.848.jar 
^CkeybounceMBP:TestServer76 michael$ 

 

Before hitting ^C, I tried pressing both buttons -- the "OK" button, and the close/"X" button. Neither did anything.

Interesting, usually when things like this happens it throws something about not being able to open font files or some shit.

But this is just nothing. Sadly, without someone who is experiencing the issue giving us direct access to debug on there computer, or us being able to reproduce it our end... there's not much we can do.

We've got the same problem.  Also running 10.6.8.  Is it a java problem?  Had no problem with 1.6.2.  It is so frustrating.  2 very unhappy kids at my end so any clues appreciated.

As I said we can't debug on our end as we don't have macs so all information you can provide. Or. When I get back home someone volenters to let me RD your computer so I can do some debugging.

 

Aside from that having everyone post there computer specs, jvm versions, any info you may think is relevent. Also there have been reports that reinstalling java fixes this.

This may help, be sure to update your Mac to Java 7 http://java.com/en/download/mac_download.jsp

 

After installing Java 7 from oracle, you may have to set the runtime environment! go into System Pref > Other > Java > Java (tab) > View > and set (a top) the Java 7 platform on the list to be used by the user and or system.

Yea, with java 7, it installs no problem.

 

So someone got 1.6.2 to install correctly on Apple's J6? Which version of 162? Did the installer change at some point?

    • Hey there! I removed Bobby as Pyralis suggested and found that I still had that and a another closely related bug (or same bug, different presentation) wherein a torch only illuminates its own block and gets smoothed 1 block out, then gone.   After comparing your modlist to mine (I'm on fabric, also 1.20.1) I found we had 2 mods with the same versions. Mine || Yours Bobby-5.0.1.jar ||bobby-1.20.1_v5.0.1.jar ImmediatelyFast-Fabric-1.2.17+1.20.4.jar || ImmediatelyFast-Forge-1.2.17+1.20.4.jar Removing ImmediatelyFast.. immediately (😉) seems to have fixed the issue. Since it's client only- no new world needed either! To note, I also removed all mods related to or containing direct requirements for Sodium, Indium and Iris which may have played a role, I did not test with re-adding.
    • For anyone still looking for the equivalent for 1.19.2+, the render type should be set for the model. In datagen, this can be done by using ModelBuilder::renderType, otherwise just add the line directly to the json file. As for the validity of this question, the idiomatic solution is presented nowhere online; ModelBuilder::renderType is never addressed when discussing block render types meaning that the solution I have provided is the first mentioned usage. Furthermore, there are no external references to this function meaning that to discover its existence requires a deep search through Forge's code. Therefore it is not only understandable but expected that most beginner modders would struggle to find this function given the already poor documentation of Forge's API.
    • Same issue without voicechat?
    • Start by following the docs to get a workspace setup: https://docs.minecraftforge.net/en/latest/gettingstarted/ Then poke around some of the tutorials, https://www.mcjty.eu/docs/1.20/ used to be the goto, but not sure if there are any updates for regular forge or not, but if you've brushed up on Java, it will be enough to get you started. Poke around the Minecraft and Forge sources to see how things are done. Read the FAQ for information on how to post code/logs when you run into issues. Share as much info on issues you have as possible. Use github to host projects, chances of someone helping are higher when they can actually see all your code and/or build it themselves. And finally, keep it on the forums, don't direct message people with questions, most people do not provide personal support like that. Also keep in mind forums posts are not always immediately answered, if you're looking for a quicker response, you can always try the Minecraft Forge discord server.
    • Hello, I have a Forge Minecraft sever (I host it at g-portal.com) which has always worked fine and I had no problems, but today it doesn't wanna work anymore. Today I started the server and the status said online, but after a few seconds it said this: "Start failed". And then out of nowhere it restarted itself and the same thing happened again and again and now it's in an infinite loop where it just keeps failing and then restarts. Here's the download link for the server logs: https://www.mediafire.com/file/sq30dgoonjevib1/2025-07-06-1.log/file Does anyone know how to fix this? If yes I would really appreciate help. Best wishes, Gabs1107
