TwofacedSquip Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Okay. I am trying to get mods. I've been doing mods for at least four mods. downloading and installing at least. but no matter the version there is always a problem. besides 1.12, which has a totally different glitch entirely. there is this glitch where one the bar gets to 2/7 it crashes and says I have duplicate files. but I don't I have changed and checked everything. I tried using mods I've never used before. I tried different versions. I ripped files apart putting each bit in differently. it either loaded without the mod installed or crashed. and I have no clue why. for simplicity. I want to know how to fix this for 1.11.2 exclusively. and hopefully I'll be able to fix the others on my own. here are is one of the crash reports. I would give the most recent, but when I went to the report, it didn't give any data. just one of those messages to tell you that their sorry it failed. 3/23/2019 3:49am ---- Minecraft Crash Report ---- // Don't be sad. I'll do better next time, I promise!

DaemonUmbra Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 That says nothing about duplicate mods and what it does say worries me. Why are you extracting mods?

Why are you extracting mods? extracting? I didn't know that was a problem. on my computer I don't get zip files. I get WinRAR and I have to extract files or it doesn't work what so ever. I just thought it was normal for some computers. edit: it doesn't give crash reports for duplications. it shows up physically in the game window. I could get a screenshot if needed Edited March 25, 2019 by TwofacedSquip needed more info Quote

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: git init 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 git fetch git checkout --track origin/master git stage * git commit -m "[Your commit message]" 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.

While they are archives, they are a special kind of archive that you should not extract. Have you replaced your mods from 9Minecraft with files from CurseForge? there were already deleted before I made this post. the mods didn't work so I deleted them. Quote
DaemonUmbra Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Have you bought WinRAR? If not I can recommend 7Zip as a free, open-source alternative. Also if WinRAR is taking over your jar files (the type of file the mods actually are), then you may want to re-install Java. Quote 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.

I have not bought WinRAR. it was just on the computer. it still asks me to buy WinRAR every time I open a file that is WinRAR. and. I might try 7zip. but I will do that in the morning. because it is 1 am. and I haven't slept for two days straight. which is probably why my description for my problem sucked. Quote
DaemonUmbra Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Uhh yeah, get some sleep and come back in the morning.
