Hello! 

 

i installed forge and no mod works. i want to uninstall forge completely but don't know how.

btw i have a mac

 

i hope someone can help me

Thank you! 

1) Don't yell

2) We have a tech support forum for a reason

3) Just delete Forge's files from your MC folder. It doesn't install anything outside that folder.

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

Note: this might leave a loose end in your launcher profile list.

Also depending on your reason for uninstalling Forge you might not need to uninstall Forge at all.

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 still don't understand why people think "I MUST REMOVE ALL TRACES OF FORGE", the only legitimate reason to uninstall Forge is if it's corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.

just delete the launcher

Why would someone delete their launcher when uninstalling Forge is literally as simple as deleting a few files?

    Literally the corresponding forge-version-named folder in your versions folder, the only other detail is the one I mentioned previously:

    I understand that people might want to remove Forge for whatever reason, but deleting the launcher has nothing to do with Forge. Doing so would delete the Launcher of Minecraft, not Forge.

    Forge versions are located under the versions folder under your game directory.

    Some tips:

    I am trying to uninstall the server version 1.15x to install 1.14x...  since I tried 1.15x (which didn't have the mods I wanted) now when I try to run 1.14.4 I get Java errors on the server. 

     

    I had done this.. java -jar forge-1.15.2-31.2.37-installer.jar --installServer 

    Is there an --removeServer or --uninstallServer option?    

     

    There must be 1.15x files lingering that are killing me...

     

    Thanks!

    All you would need to do is install the new server on top of the old one and run the new one, I would be more worried about your save
