I'm so sorry. I saw a few posts about this topic (though only 1 about the 1.8 version) and I did what they said but I'm still getting the same old, tired error message. I've saved the forge 1.8 file for windows and when I try to install client it says I must run version 1.8 manually at least once.  Here's what I've done so far. Where am I going wrong?

 

1) I had version 1.8.1. I went to lower right corner and changed version to 1.8 and opened it. Even created a new world. Closed Minecraft and tried installing client again for Forge...same message. 

2) I tried running Minecraft then shutting it down then installing client...same message.

3) I tried restarting my son's computer thinking maybe because I changed versions I would need it to restart. Repeated above steps, same message.

4) Waited to save the Forge.exe file until after I opened Minecraft and then tried to install client. Same message.

 

The forge file was 1.8 for windows, Minecraft clearly now states 1.8. I don't understand what the problem is. I've run the darn game probably 15 times now. Please help me. I've got an 8 year old who is just dying for me to get him mods.

Hi and thank you for responding so quickly.

 

Yes, using official Mojang launcher (Icon for Minecraft installed on desktop)

Yes it says 1.8 on lower left corner.

Yes that is where I downloaded the installer from.

Hmm, target folder may be issue. This is where it's showing C:\Users\Amanda\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft. Is that incorrect? I grabbed that from the screen where I choose install client. If that is wrong what should be the destination?

Thank you. I think I got it. Yes, Amanda is my user name but it's my son's profile that has Minecraft. I swiched it to the same directory but "Logan" instead and now it seems to have worked. It said it was successfully installed. Now I need to figure out what to do from here. lol.

    • Thank you so much Choonster! That's what i was missing! For now i added a folder assets/<mod_id>/items and put the model definition JSON file with the item name in it: { "model":{ "type": "minecraft:model", "model": "teleportpugmod:item/teleportpug" } }   Some log errors/warnings pointing me into the right direction would've been nice 😅 Haven't had much time to look into the DataGenerator and ModelProviders, because i'm still at work. But i guess these would would make more sense if have many custom items and want to generate these model definition files?
    • Minecraft 1.21.4 requires a new model definition file for each item, which you don't have. These can be created through Data Generation, specifically the ModelProvider, BlockModelGenerators and ItemModelGenerators classes.
    • Hi,  I'm using Forge 47.3.0 for Minecraft 1.20.1 I apologise if this is obvious I am very new to modding for Minecraft. I sucessfully made a mod that launched without errors or crashes (without it doing anything) but in order to add the features I need, I need to add "Custom Portal API [Forge]" as a dependency. However no matter the way I've tried to acheive this, it crashes. I am pretty sure it's not the way I'm putting it in the repositories, the dependencies or the way I'm refrencing it, as I've a hundred diffrent combinations and multiple Maven methods. And on all those diffrent variations I still get this crash: pastebin.com/UhumzZCZ Any tips would be invaluable as I've been loosing my mind over this!
    • 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.
