essential mod not working in my modpack

 

Hello, new to minecraft modding.

 

I made my own modpack on curseforge and wanted to add the essential mod so i can play it with friends. I downloaded the essential 1.20.1 version for forge on the essential website and then placed the essential mod in the mod folder and started the game. But the essential mod does NOT load. There isn't an error warning either.

 

The same happens when i add the mod to my mod folder without curseforge/a mod pack and just forge. 

 

I created a new modpack on curseforge with JUST the essential mod and it works! But when i try to add mods, it stops working. Again, no error warning, essential just doesn't work even though it's in the mod folder.

 

For some reason, the mod also has a different logo and name in both of my modpacks on curseforge. It's named project-961439 Essential-forge_1-18-2.jar. Meanwhile the actual file is named Essential-forge_1-20-1.jar. 

 

I have no idea why. I reinstalled the mod several times, same result. 

 

When try to install the mod via curseforge, the game just crashes until i remove the essential mod again. 

 

I watched so many tutorials on this, i follow every step, it just doesn't work. I am kinda on my wits end here.

 

Any help is appreciated!
