Alright, so english isn't your first language, so I am gunna try and ignore some of the failure to comunicate.

Anyways, there is a field inside of Minecraft that holds the root folder that Minecraft uses for all folders, you can use your Launcher to change that field.

I dont know which field it is off the top of my head, but its fairly straight forward if you take 10 mins to go research how the directory is obtained. If you are writing a launcher, you should have the skills to read the code and figure it out.

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

Mmmm... Sory for my English, you're right...But I worked with Minecraft.class (I know that in this file, I must doing changes), and don't understand. I changed line with "minecraft" to "mine". But folder mods anyway reads in .minecraft (not .mine  :(), folders texturepacks,saves read in .mine  :). I think you can help me, because you're authors of "Forge" .

P.S. sory for my English again if I have mistakes.

P.P.S. if i don't do changes in Minecraft.class, all folders are read in .minecraft

P.P.P.S my launcher download Client.zip from FTP and unzips it in .mine

there is a function in Minecraft something along the lines of getDataDir() or something like that.

Look into that and see how it determines the path, I know it uses a field.

What you need to do is make your launcher set that field. Then anything that uses getDataDir will get your new path.

Also, we do not support illegally distrabuting the mods/jars, which you just described.

 

And, DO NOT BUMP YOUR POSTS. It may result in a ban next time.

      After breaking blocks, Area is extremely dark, lighting not working correctly

      By Sniper_Gecko 路 Posted

      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 (馃槈) 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.

      ItemBlockRenderTypes.setRenderLayer() is deprecated, what's the new method for 1.19.3?

      By Joxel 路 Posted

      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.

      Server doesn't start properly

      Same issue without voicechat?

      I WANT TO START MODDING

      By Ugdhar 路 Posted

      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.

      Server doesn't start properly

      By Gabs1107 路 Posted

      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
