Error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/minecraftforge/eventbus/api/IEventBus

Hello, I have managed to get the server-side working fine with a variety of mods, however when I start my launcher for Forge 2768 to play the game, I receive following error at startup:
The game crashed whilst initializing game
Error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/minecraftforge/eventbus/api/IEventBus

 

Crash report:

I have not had much luck googling the error. I know the sticky here says "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundException: net/minecraft/client/something : One of your mods is client only and you're on a dedicated server. Check which ones, and remove them." But I am not on a server yet? It is at the actual game launcher screen that I see this; I never even get to the screen where I would select multiplayer.

Can you provide a debug.log?

What launcher are you using?

How did you install Forge?

Can you provide an installer log?

Is what I posted not the debug log? It is split into 3 pastebin links. 

 

Forge launcher version 2768. Do you mean something else? What I see is "Minecraft Launcher" with a Mojang logo in the corner. 

Installer: forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2768-installer. I am not certain of where to locate an installer log.

This looks like you have the 1.13 version of ModNameTooltip on 1.12, but the jar file name claims to be the 1.12 version.

 

When/where/how did you get the mod?

 

Try redownloading it and see if this fixes the problem.
