My "1.14.4" Forge installer keeps installing 1.12.2?

So I've uninstalled and redownloaded this at least 3 times. I go to the website, download Forge for 1.14.4, and it tells me that's what it's downloading, but when I install it it says it's version 1.12.2? This makes no sense and it's kind of annoying me cause I really want to play Forge on the latest Minecraft version

Where are you downloading Forge from? Please give a URL.

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.

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
  1. Make sure you have the correct version of Forge installed (some packs are heavily dependent on one specific build of Forge)
  2. Make a launcher profile targeting this version of Forge.
  3. 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).
  4. 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.

 

  1. Open a command prompt (CMD, Powershell, Terminal, etc).
  2. Navigate to the folder you extracted Forge’s MDK to (the one that had all the licenses in).
  3. Run the following commands:
    1. git init
    2. 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
    3. git fetch
    4. git checkout --track origin/master
    5. git stage *
    6. git commit -m "[Your commit message]"
    7. git push
  4. 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)
  5. Now you can share your GitHub link with those who you are asking for help.

[Workaround line, please ignore]

      Loading textures from the web during runtime

      By YotamTheModder · Posted

      Hi, I have built a new ai model that can create any minecraft texture 16X16 pixels from a text prompt. I've deployed this model on a server with a standard http request.  I want to build a mod where the player can enter text through the chat/text box and load the created texture from the ai model to a simple block. Any ideas for where to start?, I think the most challenging part is loading texture to an object dynamically, do you know any similar projects?

      If donation/download revenue won't cut it I may also be willing to make arrangements to pay for at least an assistant that can deal with Networking(Pipe Logic & Packets), and ANYTHING rendering related that is not adding basic block models(Anything to do with OpenGL, especially in minecraft, makes my head spin and I just can't wrap my mind around it). We can discuss amounts through messages if it comes to this.

      By Will11690 · Posted

      I'm looking for someone who for the most part would be taking over my mods main development. With work I just can't give it the time it deserves but I think it will be a good mod to fill the void of BuildCraft while still having its own unique twist. It is currently still only on 1.16.5 only because I just haven't had the time to try and get an update plus there were features I was working on that I had wanted to hammer out first. Not to mention I'm just not very good at Java or Programming in general. I can get things done and they mostly work but I am just not skilled enough to keep my brain child alive and honestly optimized. My only real requirement is that if I choose to come back I want to be able to jump back in and do so(Not take over per say just add to it again from time to time). I have a basic outline of how I want things to work in general for the things not added yet that were planned features and I also have some started but not yet finished ideas in. I'm currently working on getting a repo up on github that has my most current code so that way its easier for everyone involved to contribute. I'm sure the best first step would be to update to the newest version of forge first before doing this to give the next person a good head start but I'm sure alot of my stuff needs rewritten anyways so I figured I'd do this now as it sits.  Any other questions or details can be worked out through messages but if you are interested please drop a reply. Here is the link to the curseforge page which you can use to get to the github repo: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/mechanicraft For anyone who is interested please leave a reply. You will be added to the curseforge as a member and since I will be contributing less 80% of anything that is earned/donated because of this mod will be kicked your way(Can be controlled through curseforge, they have a way to split the earning).
