There really should be a Modder Support section.

The way I read it, Support and Bug Reports is for user issues and crashes, General Discussion is for discussions about anything related to Forge in general that doesn't fit a specific category, Requests is for getting subforums for your mod and Suggestions is for the submission of hooks into the API. There's no solidly defined area for help for modders using Forge, but I think it's a big enough category to warrant its own forum section.

Support was really intended for both user and modder Forge help, since a modder is just a user of forge in a more intimate way.  It really seems to me that 'requests' belong in the request board, and help with using forge or minecraft belongs in the support board and once resolved someone should make an article on the wiki.  Would such a 'modder support' board really be busy enough to warrant it?

Forge Modding Support may or may not be a great idea as a new board. In terms of how people will see it on the site, it'll be a place seen explicitly for asking about problems one might be having with the code. It's not difficult to see why people believe the current "Support" selection is only for installation errors, and why they instead ask the general discussion board instead.

 

With the internet, you can't leave much to speculation. Someone is bound to speculate incorrectly, and others will follow in their example before they're corrected, as it may be the first they've seen on it.

 

But I think the real problem of having it as its own board would be that far too many people will expect you to hold their hand through the coding process and expect everyone to bend over backwards to show them how to do something correctly.

 

Uhh... I think. ??? Don't mind me if I'm just blabbing. :P

Check out my

Texture Packs Thread here on the Forge Forum. :)

Currently in the process of adding some mod support for JohnSmith Texture Pack.

I think that is the point of this thread that people need help and assume that support isn't for that which if I am right is the place for it at the moment. New people like me and active users that have never asked for help wouldn't know to use support so they use  general discussion. That not bad and no one is complaining, it just not strait forward enough. I my honest opinion making a new bored would be helpful and as far as I can see it would get used quite a bit. As far as people wanting you to write there code for them goes; there is always going to be people like that. People so far have be polite and  showed them to proper forums to learn jave / forge/ fml etc. or offered them a creative way to solve the problem without handing them code.

      Exit code 1 with no mods installed on Minecraft Java Forge Versions above 1.18.2 (1.19 and up)

      By Yoda5577 · Posted

      Whenever I launch Minecraft Forge (With or without any mods installed, yes, I've checked my mods folder, it is empty. I also tried Curseforge's app.) above the version 1.18.2 (Versions 1.18.2 and below work fine), the game crashes before opening and shows error code 1. I have no clue what it could be, I've tried many different options on my own, but any suggestion helps.

      Game crashing instantly after opening with no mods installed

      By Hanabi · Posted

      Hello support, I would like to tell you that I recently had troubles with getting into forge in Minecraft. I wanted to play with my friend a modpack in the game in version 1.20.1 when I downloaded it it crashed so we I started deleting some unnecessary mods to maybe lower the pressure if my PC is not good enough to run the modpack. But I went to delete every mod and installed a hole new version of forge with no mods installed or anything with it it still crashed. I found some help on the forms telling to download java 17 and install it on my windows so I did that and still couldn’t play because it crashes  The log files and everything I could find to help this problem is here : https://pastebin.com/9rWpANcW Hope your help arrives quickly

      2 different errors for the same reason, on the server it tells me one reason and in the game, locally another thing

      By Roshby23 · Posted

      I'm testing a modpack for a server, and everything is fine, until I update the Aether mod from version "aether-1.20.1-1.4.2-neoforge" to version "aether-1.20.1-1.5.1-neoforge" now on the server it gives the error: Failed to load datapacks, can't proceed with server load.

      Version 1.21.3 Loading Error

      By Spunk_McKenzie · Posted

      I just tried installing Forge version 1.21.3, and tried launching it with no mods installed. It loads, and immediately crashes while "loading bootstrap resourses." Does anyone know a fix for this? My Java is up to date, as well as my graphics drivers. Here's a snip right before it crashes: https://imgur.com/a/elLujPj

      Minecraft server Bewitchment Mod error Could not execute entrypoint stage 'main' due to errors, provided by 'bewitchment'! Cause

      By WorstLuck · Posted

      I know this is a forge only place, but just to be clear, my error is in Fabric I was actually super frustrated while trying to fix this, like this mod does work when I play it by launching it in minecraft, but when I was trying to install it onto the server it just kept crashing so I decided to delete every mod I've got but kept the bewitchment mod and the necessary mod it needs to function and I tried to run the server... But it somehow still crashed, and the thing is that I really do want the bewitchment mod to be in the SMP so it'll be SUPER helpful if anyone can figure out on how to fix this: It didn't give me any "crash-reports" so I'll be sending the logs and what the console said: Console: [18:51:46] [main/INFO]: SpongePowered MIXIN Subsystem Version=0.8.5 Source=file:/home/container/libraries/net/fabricmc/sponge-mixin/0.13.3+mixin.0.8.5/sponge-mixin-0.13.3+mixin.0.8.5.jar Service=Knot/Fabric Env=SERVER [18:51:46] [main/WARN]: Error loading class: io/github/apace100/origins/power/PreventItemUsePower (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: io/github/apace100/origins/power/PreventItemUsePower) [18:51:46] [main/WARN]: @Mixin target io.github.apace100.origins.power.PreventItemUsePower was not found bewitchment.mixins.json:integration.origins.PreventItemUsePowerMixin from mod bewitchment [18:51:47] [main/INFO]: Initializing MixinExtras via com.llamalad7.mixinextras.service.MixinExtrasServiceImpl(version=0.3.5).
