Hello I have an apple computer and I am having trouble using a mod in forge, I have watched a lot of the videos in You tube and non can tell me the answer. 

When the error screen said that there was a problem with my Minecraft installation I delete Minecraft and downloaded it again but this is still happened.

What could I do to fix this?

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

Please update to receive support.

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.

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]

      Trying shadow a dependency with runClient configuration

      By OppenDev · Posted

      Hi all,  I have the following issue: I'd like to parse some json using gson and rely on the (somewhat new) java record types. This is supported in gson 2.10+. Gson is already a dependency used by minecraft, however it's 2.8.x for 1.19.2 which I'm targeting at the moment. My idea was to include the newer version of the library in my mod and then shadow it so it gets used inside the scope of my mod instead of the older 2.8. This works fine for building the jar: If I decompile my mod.jar, I can see that it's correctly using the shadowed classes. However obviously when using the runClient intellj config, the shadowing doesn't get invoked. Is there any way of invoking shadow when using runClient, or am I on the wrong track and there's a better way of doing this entirely? Thanks in advance!

      Game Crashed after I updated some mods :/

      Yep I did upgrade just because it showed me a new version available.  I'll redownload the mod list and make sure anything works.  Thanks!

      By Ugdhar · Posted

      The latest log was taken down by pastebin for some reason. Did you try removing the mods you added? The mods you updated, was there a specific reason you updated, or just because? It's possible the updates introduced incompatibilitie, or even need a newer build of forge. If you didn't need the updates for a specific reason, you could also try downgrading those mods.

      I am using forge 1.20.1 (version 47.3.0). My pc has an RTX 4080 super and an i9 14900 KF, I am on the latest Nvidia graphics driver, latest windows 10 software, I have java 23, forge 1.12.2 works and so does all vanilla versions but for some reason no version of forge 1.20.1 works and instead the game just crashes with the error code "-1." I have no mods in my mods fodler, I have deleted my options.txt and forge.cfg files in case my settings were causing a crash and have tried removing my forge version from the installations folder and reinstalling but no matter what I still crash with the same code and my log doesn't tell me anything: 18:34:53.924 game 2025-02-06 18:34:53,914 main WARN Advanced terminal features are not available in this environment 18:34:54.023 game [18:34:54] [main/INFO] [cp.mo.mo.Launcher/MODLAUNCHER]: ModLauncher running: args [--username, mrmirchi, --version, 1.20.1-forge-47.3.0, --gameDir, C:\Users\aryam\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft, --assetsDir, C:\Users\aryam\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\assets, --assetIndex, 5, --uuid, 2db00ea8d678420a8956109a85d90e9d, --accessToken, ????????, --clientId, ZWI3NThkNzMtNmNlZS00MGI5LTgyZTgtYmZkNzcwMTM5MGMx, --xuid, 2535436222989555, --userType, msa, --versionType, release, --quickPlayPath, C:\Users\aryam\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\quickPlay\java\1738838092785.json, --launchTarget, forgeclient, --fml.forgeVersion, 47.3.0, --fml.mcVersion, 1.20.1, --fml.forgeGroup, net.minecraftforge, --fml.mcpVersion, 20230612.114412] 18:34:54.027 game [18:34:54] [main/INFO] [cp.mo.mo.Launcher/MODLAUNCHER]: ModLauncher 10.0.9+10.0.9+main.dcd20f30 starting: java version 17.0.8 by Microsoft; OS Windows 10 arch amd64 version 10.0 18:34:54.132 game [18:34:54] [main/INFO] [ne.mi.fm.lo.ImmediateWindowHandler/]: Loading ImmediateWindowProvider fmlearlywindow 18:34:54.191 game [18:34:54] [main/INFO] [EARLYDISPLAY/]: Trying GL version 4.6 18:34:54.303 game [18:34:54] [main/INFO] [EARLYDISPLAY/]: Requested GL version 4.6 got version 4.6 18:34:54.367 monitor Process Monitor Process crashed with exit code -1     screenshot of log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WdkH88H865XErvmIqAKjlg7yrmj8EYy7/view?usp=sharing
