FML thinks that my mods aren't JAR files

Hey there, 

 

I installed a bunch of mods to my server and I keep getting this error for every mod.

[FML]: FML has found a non-mod file TipTheScales-1.12.2-1.0.4.jar in your mods directory. It will now be injected into your classpath. This could severe stability issues, it should be removed if possible.

I uploaded my crash report from the server below.

 

 

I also can't get my client to launch, I unfortunately can't produce a crash log because it doesn't produce one for some reason. I used the Forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2814 Installer (I think its the most recent) I have changed the amount of memory from 2 GB to 6 to 8 GB to see if it would run but still nothing. I have all my mods in the mods folder correctly, the profile is loaded correctly I believe and there is a 1.12.2 vanilla JAR file. I uploaded a picture of my clients .minecraft folder. Yes there is a forge folder in the /versions directory. (Edit: Found the log lol, didn't look hard enough. Included it below.)

A couple things wrong here.

I'm not 100% sure Forge is fully compatible with OpenJ9, I would recommend only using Oracle Java or OpenJDK.

In your crash it is effectively saying that a mod is missing one of its own classes, suggesting the jar is corrupted or otherwise incomplete.

Where are you getting your mods and are you sure they were fully downloaded before you moved them into the server?

 

Please provide your debug.log, it has more info than the other logs (more info in my signature).

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]

Thanks for the reply boss, 

 

I downloaded them all through curseforge's website, I originally had them downloaded through Twitch's modpack feature, it's basically FTB ultimate reloaded but with some extra mods I put in. I had first just went to the instances folder in the Twitch Minecraft directory, and just transferred all the mods in that folder to my server and it actually had a different error and my server host told me to re-download the mods and try again. So I went and downloaded each and every mod by itself from the curseforge website. I also attached a screenshot of each mod I had downloaded one-by-one, just so you can see it's not from Twitch and that they are in fact .JAR files.

Now that you mention the possible download issue, you may be on to something, I am using Vivaldi as my browser and it has some weird virus protection thing and I have had problems with .exe and .jar files in the past. I can try using Chrome and see if that maybe works?

 

Here are the links to two of the debug logs found in my folder (Not sure which one you would like to see. The last debug file was too large for a paste, I uploaded it below.)

https://pastebin.com/C5Tjtiug

 

https://pastebin.com/NE9QhLAj

 

Thanks again for the help mate

latest.log

 

 

EDIT: I removed all of the mods in my client's mod folder, then I just added EnderIO and EnderCore and it is working fine. So on client-side the JAR files are working fine.

Have you tried with Oracle java or OpenJDK, instead of the OpenJ9? If so post logs from that as well.

You will need to get Java from https://java.com/ (Oracle) or https://openjdk.java.net/ (OpenJDK), note that you will need to look around to make sure you get Java 8, 64-Bit for things to work properly.
