Hey yall, so uh this has started happening recently for some reason...

I was using forge 1.20 previously for a while and when i updated to 1.20.1, it kept crashing all the time no matter what
I removed all the mods, reinstalled forge, reinstalled minecraft/forge and then reinstalled java but nothing seemed to work 
I also updated my graphics driver to the latest (Nvidia)
To top it off all versions of 1.20 and 1.20.2 work just fine, the earliest version of 1.20.1 works aswell but not many mods support that
Im using 1.20.1 in particular because im hosting a server on that version with my friends and the majority of the mods only go up to that version

Heres the crash log

Does it work just with forge - without any mods?

Does not work whatsoever even without mods
This was all tested on the minecraft launcher so i tried a different launcher and got the same error, but this time with a bit more explanation
its something to do with slf4j

(i wrote this manually)

Maybe try another Launcher like MultiMC, AT Launcher or Technic Launcher

Thanks! MultiMC launches forge 1.20.1 just fine even with mods!

Not sure what the bug was even to begin with but everythings good now

Thanks again
