Hi, since i fixed my install issues myself i'm sad to see the same problems often being talked about in the forums (and in a general internet search 'Forge install problem' is quite common).

 

Would one of the moderators/devs maybe add this fix to the FAQ or something, it was from my first thread i posted here as i was also having issues, and went through all the usual methods to try to fix it with help from the great folks here, all to no avail. Then i just tried something on a hunch and my problem was fixed! This was the thread with that info in:

 

http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,23525.msg119376.html#msg119376

 

THE FIX FOR MY FORGE INSTALLATION PROBLEM (the jar file doing nothing when clicked on):

 

Put the installer INSIDE the main Java folder on my PC, then when clicked it would run.

 

All the other methods did not work, but this did and now i've been happily playing the Life in the Woods mod i bought Minecraft for!

 

I hope this info can be added to the other fixes, as i was about to give up on Forge myself at the time, it might solve many people problems? :)

 

And thanks to the Devs for Forge, awesome work.

This is caused by you having a broken java install this is not a proper fix.

If you have the issues you had just use the windows installer it was made for people like you who broke you java installs.

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

      Forge 54.1.1 Missing Textures please help

      By xLorkin · Posted

      Hi, i'm really having problems trying to set the texture to my custom item. I thought i'm doing everything correctly, but all i see is the missing texture block for my item. I am trying this for over a week now and getting really frustrated. The only time i could make the texture work, was when i used an older Forge version (52.0.1) for Minecraft (1.21.4). Was there a fundamental change for textures and models somewhere between versions that i'm missing? I started with Forge 54.1.0 and had this problem, so in my frustration i tried many things: Upgrading to Forge 54.1.1, created multiple new projects, workspaces, redownloaded everything and setting things up multiple times, as it was suggested in an older thread. Therea are no errors in the console logs, but maybe i'm blind, so i pasted the console logs to pastebin anyway: https://pastebin.com/zAM8RiUN The only time i see an error is when i change the models JSON file to an incorrect JSON which makes sense and that suggests to me it is actually reading the JSON file.   I set the github repository to public, i would be so thankful if anyone could take a look and tell me what i did wrong: https://github.com/xLorkin/teleport_pug_forge   As a note: i'm pretty new to modding, this is my first mod ever. But i'm used to programming. I had some up and downs, but through reading the documentation, using google and experimenting, i could solve all other problems. I only started modding for Minecraft because my son is such a big fan and wanted this mod.

      New Website for Quick & Easy Minecraft Info

      By MinecraftSearch · Posted

      Hello fellow Minecrafters! I recently returned to Minecraft and realized I needed a wiki that displays basic information easily and had great user navigation. That’s why I decided to build: MinecraftSearch — a site by a Minecraft fan, for Minecraft fans. Key Features So Far Straight-to-the-Point Info: No extra fluff; just the essentials on items, mobs, recipes, loot and more. Clean & Intuitive Layout: Easy navigation so you spend less time scrolling and more time playing. Optimized Search: Search for anything—items, mobs, blocks—and get results instantly. What I’m Thinking of Adding More data/information: Catch chances for fishing rod, traveling villager trades, biomes info and a lot more. The website is still under development and need a lot more data added. Community Contributions: Potential for user-uploaded tips for items/mobs/blocks in the future. Feature Requests Welcome: Your ideas could shape how the wiki evolves! You can see my roadmap at the About page https://minecraftsearch.com/about I’d love for you to check out MinecraftSearch and see if it helps you find the info you need faster. Feedback is crucial—I want to develop this further based on what the community needs most, so please let me know what you think. Thanks, and happy crafting!

      Speedup forge startup?

      By Paint_Ninja · Posted

      That's just plain wrong... newer versions are much better optimised and start a lot faster than 1.8.9, both Forge and Minecraft itself. Comparing Fabric 1.21 with Forge 1.8 is like comparing apples and oranges... one's brand new and the other's over a decade old.
