You started a Vanilla server, not a Forge server

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.

Logs (Most issues require logs to diagnose):

Reveal hidden contents

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:

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

You know you need to run the Forge jar and not the Vanilla jar to start a Forge server, right?

- Game crashes on 1.12.2 with exit code 6
  
  By Lordpun · Posted 2 hours ago
  
  Of the newer versions I have tested, 1.21.5 does work perfectly fine, but the only others I have tried, being 1.12.2 and now 1.16.5 with the mods you suggested showing the same results of crashing with exit code 6.

  Several client crashes tied to goblin_goo: "Unable to load item model 'goblinmod:item/goblin_goo'". "Referenced from: goblinmod:item/goblin_goo#inventory". Verified correct file paths (.json and .png), with underscore usage consistent across files. Files appeared valid, and paths aligned with expectations. FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get() marked for removal, triggering a warning. Not currently fatal, but might become an issue in future Forge versions. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4uh6ytqre4az2/Goblinmod full project files linked
