Hello, I've been trying to start a server with a modpack for a while now, but when I try to run forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2815-universal.jar, nothing happens, and I think that might be the problem. Everything goes fine when I run minecraft_server.jar, the window pops up and shows that the server is running, but that won't happen with forge. I've been stuck here for a while now, since I found more people having the same issue but not a clear solution. Does anyone know how to fix this? 

 

Thanks.

Try running the Forge jar from the command line, tell me what it says.

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.

It says (translating):

"You cannot run this application in the device"

"To search for a version for your device, ask the software *manager*?"

And then the cmd says: "Access denied"

Edit: After doing it as an administrator it shows this:

You have Java 9 or later installed, Forge for 1.12.2 and earlier only works with Java 8

Nice, seems that was it. I tried to run the server on local and works just fine. I still got some problem though. I'm getting the server located in an online server-hosting web, so I created a new folder, placed all the files from the zip that I downloaded from the modpack page (server files), extracted all of them in the folder and run forge-XXXXXX.jar twice. I checked it worked and then I copy-pasted all the files to the hosting folder (everything went ok except for these three files: image.png.f71605fdcca8e0b4886c34a336d3ef7c.png)

 

 

Now I can't get it to work (it's in red in the server select screen and if I try to join it says the following: image.png.0334332e452e541cdc845817e30ffb52.png)

 

Is it because of those 3 files? Or what is it that doesn't allow me to join?

After doing some fixes, I added everything (there were a lot of files missing somehow) except 6 files I can't add because the service won't let me do so. Now the server should work just fine, but it doesn't. Instead, in the server select screen it says its a vanilla server (it has the V icon), which it's not; and it says is outdated, although I don't know why since I've got the same version of MC and Forge in both the client and the server, so I just don't know what to do anymore. Any idea?

I don’t know what hosting provider you’re using so I can’t say I’m an expert with their services.

If they’re even half decent they’ll have a space for you to set up FTP access which I would recommend over any web upload tool.

      Camouflaging Mods: Rename & Reskin

      By Serhii · Posted

      Title: Why Is It So Hard to Rename and Restructure Mods Like Xray or AntiXray? 🤔 Post text: Hey everyone! I’ve been digging into Minecraft modding for a while and have one big question that I can’t figure out on my own. Maybe someone with more experience could help or give me some advice. Here’s the issue: When I take a “normal” Minecraft mod — for example, one that just adds some blocks or new items — I can easily change its structure, package names, or even rebrand it entirely. It’s straightforward. But as soon as I try this with cheat-type mods like XrayMod or AntiXray, everything falls apart. Even if I just rename the classes, refactor the packages, or hide its identity somehow, the mod either breaks or stops working properly. XrayMod in particular is proving to be a nightmare to modify without losing its core function. So my question is — why is this so much harder with cheat mods like Xray? Is there something fundamentally different about how they’re coded, loaded, or protected that prevents simple renaming or restructuring? And if so, how can I actually learn to understand someone else’s cheat mod enough to safely refactor it without breaking the core features? I’ve already been spending over two months trying to figure this out and haven’t gotten anywhere. It feels like there must be some trick or knowledge I’m missing. Would really appreciate any thoughts, tips, or references — maybe there are guides or techniques for understanding cheat-mod internals? Or if you’ve successfully “disguised” a cheat mod like Xray before, I’d love to hear how you did it. Thanks in advance for any help or discussion. ✌️

      Game crashes after loading a schematic

      By TileEntity · Posted

      Where did you get the schematic? Source/Link? And do use an own modpack or a pre-configured from curseforge? If yes, which one On a later time, I can make some tests on my own - but I need the schematic and the modpack name
