I've tried downloading different versions: Not just the recommended and latest but various other random versions.

I've tried downloading the .jar file and tried using the command 'java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar' in Powershell. I got the error message 'Error: Could not find or load main class .net.preferIPv4Stack=true'

Every time I try installing, it says it can't download a certain file, ( maven.artifact ), and stops.

I have the log for the installer as well, I attached it.

Can I get some assistance with this, please? I would greatly appreciate it.

Post the exact command you are running because if you ran the one given to you in the EAQ you wouldnt get that error.

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

That's what happens when you try to run that command with PowerShell, you need to use CMD. (You can run CMD inside a PowerShell window by typing cmd)

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]

I used "java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar forge-1.12-14.21.1.2387-installer.jar".

 

And pardon me, I'm unfamiliar to Powershell... how exactly do I input 'cmd)'? I think I'm doing it wrong. I keep getting an error message:

At line:1 char:4
+ cmd) java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jarforge-1.12-14.21.1.23 ...

I typed it correctly, ( I think, ) got this error message:

    • Hello! I have been having a problem with Forgematica, Embeddium, Oculus, and create. I wanted to download litematica so I could see which blocks are in my creative mode build, so that I could collect them all in survival. However, litematica is a fabric mod. I found a port called forgematica, which I added (along with it's dependency) to my mods folder. I loaded into a new world, and built a structure. Then, I added a part from the create mod, and the game crashed instantly, with exit code -1. Thanks for any help! Crash Report and mods list: https://pastebin.com/rtzh6LAi
    • To say that losing 40,000 BTC was a devastating blow would be an understatement. It was an emotional and financial crisis that left me feeling hopeless and utterly lost. For weeks, I was trapped in a whirlwind of regret, second-guessing every decision that led me to that point. The fear that I would never be able to recover such a significant sum of cryptocurrency consumed me, and with each passing day, my despair deepened. I had all but given up on ever regaining my wealth. Then I happened to stumble onto Tech Cyber Force Recovery. In the beginning, I was hesitant. It looked too good to be true: could someone get back so much of their lost Bitcoin? After trying several different approaches and programs without success, I was hesitant to put my trust in another recovery agency. However, I changed my mind after reading Tech Cyber Force Recovery's stellar reviews and reputation. Reaching out to their team was a risk I made. They were courteous and professional from the first time I got in touch with them. I felt like I wasn't just another case to be solved by the staff at Tech Cyber Force Recovery; they truly cared about getting me my lost Bitcoin back. They listened carefully to my circumstances and guided me through each stage, giving me succinct and understandable explanations as I went. Their passion gave me new hope, and their openness instantly made me feel better. As the recovery process began, I still had my doubts, but I knew I had placed my trust in the right hands. The Tech Cyber Force Recovery team kept me informed and updated on their progress, ensuring I never felt in the dark. Despite the complexity of my case, they worked tirelessly, and their expertise became evident at every turn. The level of professionalism and attention to detail they demonstrated throughout the process was beyond impressive. And then, after what felt like an eternity of anticipation, the moment I had been waiting for arrived. I received the news that my 40,000 BTC had been successfully recovered. It was hard to believe at first—it felt like a dream. The weight that had been dragging me down for so long was suddenly lifted, and I could breathe again. The financial loss I had feared would define my future was no longer a reality. I can’t fully express the emotions I felt during that moment. It was a mix of relief, joy, and an overwhelming sense of gratitude. I had gone from a place of utter despair to a complete resurgence of wealth, both emotionally and financially. The Tech Cyber Force Recovery team didn’t just restore my Bitcoin—they restored my faith in the possibility of recovery and gave me back something far more valuable: peace of mind. I will urge anyone in this same predicament to.
