1.11.2 Forge Crash at Game Launch

When I try to launch my 1.11.2 game with Forge, it closes the launcher then immediately brings it back up with a crash saying: "Game Crash. An unexpected issue occurred and the game has crashed. We're sorry for the inconvenience." Now when I go to the .minecraft folder, the only log I have is the 'Latest' located in the Logs folder. This is the log:

Now I've bolded the line I saw that seems to be the issue, and according to Rules and EAQ it means:

Quote

One of your mods is client only and you're on a dedicated server. Check which ones, and remove them.

The issue is I ONLY have Forge and Optifine and I have no idea where IFMLLoadingPlugin is located as according to the EAQ and Rules that should be the client only mod causing the issue, right? I went through and made sure Java was up-to-date and that I had a fresh install of minecraft, and the latest forge, but I'm still learning to figure out the crash reports :/ I'm also confused about Client side and dedicated server, especially since I have yet to even establish any world and I don't play on servers anymore. Any information would be greatly welcomed :) Thank you.

Remove optifine, or at the very least install 1.11.2 optifine not 1.7.10 optifine -.-

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

    ohh okay, how do I prevent my 1.7.10 mods from interfering with my 1.11.2 game? Because I do have two versions of optifine installed, but one is for my 1.7.10 game and the other is 1.11.2

    • Author

    Ohhhh okay, somehow I completely missed that. That worked thank you :) I feel silly now :P

    • 1 year later...

    This same thing is happening to me. It started right when I installed opitfine 1.11.2 for shaders. 

     

    Where, how, to what do I do to set up different game directories in launcher?

     

    I am new to this, I can optifine replace forge? I like the shaders, but I want my mods too.

    Please don't necro old threads.

    Please make your own thread, following the instructions from the EAQ.

    This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

     

    As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

    The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

    If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

     

    For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

    Spoiler

    Logs (Most issues require logs to diagnose):

    Spoiler

    Please post logs using one of the following sites (Thank you Lumber Wizard for the list):

    https://gist.github.com/: 100MB Requires member (Free)

    https://pastebin.com/: 512KB as guest, 10MB as Pro ($$$)

    https://hastebin.com/: 400KB

    Do NOT use sites like Mediafire, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or a site that has a countdown before offering downloads.

     

    What to provide:

    ...for Crashes and Runtime issues:

    Minecraft 1.14.4 and newer:

    Post debug.log

    Older versions:

    Please update...

     

    ...for Installer Issues:

    Post your installer log, found in the same place you ran the installer

    This log will be called either installer.log or named the same as the installer but with .log on the end

    Note for Windows users:

    Windows hides file extensions by default so the installer may appear without the .jar extension then when the .log is added the log will appear with the .jar extension

     

    Where to get it:

    Mojang Launcher: When using the Mojang launcher debug.log is found in .minecraft\logs.

     

    Curse/Overwolf: If you are using the Curse Launcher, their configurations break Forge's log settings, fortunately there is an easier workaround than I originally thought, this works even with Curse's installation of the Minecraft launcher as long as it is not launched THROUGH Twitch:

    Spoiler
    1. Make sure you have the correct version of Forge installed (some packs are heavily dependent on one specific build of Forge)
    2. Make a launcher profile targeting this version of Forge.
    3. Set the launcher profile's GameDir property to the pack's instance folder (not the instances folder, the folder that has the pack's name on it).
    4. Now launch the pack through that profile and follow the "Mojang Launcher" instructions above.

    Video:

    Spoiler

     

     

     

    or alternately, 

     

    Fallback ("No logs are generated"):

    If you don't see logs generated in the usual place, provide the launcher_log.txt from .minecraft

     

    Server Not Starting:

    Spoiler

    If your server does not start or a command window appears and immediately goes away, run the jar manually and provide the output.

     

    Reporting Illegal/Inappropriate Adfocus Ads:

    Spoiler

    Get a screenshot of the URL bar or copy/paste the whole URL into a thread on the General Discussion board with a description of the Ad.

    Lex will need the Ad ID contained in that URL to report it to Adfocus' support team.

     

    Posting your mod as a GitHub Repo:

    Spoiler

    When you have an issue with your mod the most helpful thing you can do when asking for help is to provide your code to those helping you. The most convenient way to do this is via GitHub or another source control hub.

    When setting up a GitHub Repo it might seem easy to just upload everything, however this method has the potential for mistakes that could lead to trouble later on, it is recommended to use a Git client or to get comfortable with the Git command line. The following instructions will use the Git Command Line and as such they assume you already have it installed and that you have created a repository.

     

    1. Open a command prompt (CMD, Powershell, Terminal, etc).
    2. Navigate to the folder you extracted Forge’s MDK to (the one that had all the licenses in).
    3. Run the following commands:
      1. git init
      2. git remote add origin [Your Repository's URL]
        • In the case of GitHub it should look like: https://GitHub.com/[Your Username]/[Repo Name].git
      3. git fetch
      4. git checkout --track origin/master
      5. git stage *
      6. git commit -m "[Your commit message]"
      7. git push
    4. Navigate to GitHub and you should now see most of the files.
      • note that it is intentional that some are not synced with GitHub and this is done with the (hidden) .gitignore file that Forge’s MDK has provided (hence the strictness on which folder git init is run from)
    5. Now you can share your GitHub link with those who you are asking for help.

    [Workaround line, please ignore]
