minecraft forge 1.7.10 won't work

Posted June 22, 20187 yr

minecraft forge 1.7.10 keeps crashing every time i try to open it here is the info

Edited June 22, 20187 yr by gavinens
so that i only had necisery information

June 22, 20187 yr

1.7.10 is no longer supported on this forum due to its age. Please update.

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

Make sure you have the correct version of Forge installed (some packs are heavily dependent on one specific build of Forge)
Make a launcher profile targeting this version of Forge.
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).
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.

Open a command prompt (CMD, Powershell, Terminal, etc).
Navigate to the folder you extracted Forge’s MDK to (the one that had all the licenses in).
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
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)
Now you can share your GitHub link with those who you are asking for help.

[Workaround line, please ignore]

i want to use the exrollercoaster mod wich is only available for version 1.7.10

June 22, 20187 yr

Then I'm afraid you're on your own, sorry.

Forge only promises to support the two most recent versions of Minecraft.

i actually didn't use optifine

oh and sorry about the last thing i said i'm just getting frustrated because i am using a school computer and the windows download for forge 1.7.10 won't work so i found a .jar version which installed properly but always crashes.

yes it says disabled file because i found a youtube video that said to add a .disabled to the end of the file name when not in use and i found out that minecraft forge wouldn't work with a mod in an active file format from a diferent version.

June 23, 20187 yr

that may be causing part of the issue but by the sound of it you have ran minecraft like this before. Have you tried disabling all of the mods and running forge without to see if it is the mods or something else?

it says 4 so optifine isnt the only one unless it has other .jars running with it

Their old versions policy blows my fucking mind. Create a legacy support forum and let people who care to ask/solve each others questions there.

There are several mods and packs that simply aren't available for newer versions.

We know it's four years old, but where the fuck else are we supposed to find people who have a chance of helping.
