Forge having problem loading mods

[SilviaX_92]

Hello and thanks in advance for helping me!

 

I have never played Minecraft before and recently I found that Pixelmon seemed to be a lot of fun so I decided to install it. I followed their instruction (i.e. install Minecraft --> Forge --> Pixelmon) however a weird thing happened on both my mac and windows.

 

After I put the pixelmon mod inside the mods folder and run the game, no Pixelmon showed in the mod list so I went back to the Minecraft folder and found there was a new mods folder inside that previous mods folder (along with "config", "logs", "resourcepacks" and "saves" folders, please see attached screenshot). So then I tried to put the mod inside that "new" mods folder and run the game again, guess what another mods folder showed inside that "new" mods folder and so the process went on. It was like Russian dolls if you know what I mean.

 

I have downloaded the newest version of Minecraft and tried two versions of Forge with it (1.14.4-28.1.0 and 1.12.2-14.23.5.2838) but same thing happened both times. I also tried a different mod "twilight forest" and same thing happened again. I have only found one post on internet that had the same problem but that one was not resolved.

 

So I really don't know what I should do now and really hope you can please point me some directions for my next step.

 

Thank you so much again and hope you have a good day/night!

According to this log TwilightForest was loading just fine.

Did you change any settings in the launcher?

Hi DaemonUmbra, thank you for taking a look at my problem!

 

I think I did change the Java Arguments from 2G to 3G (please see attached screenshot 9). But according to my memory, at least one of my previous tries, I did not change the arguments but still got the same thing happening to me. Other than that I don't recall changing anything else.

 

I have tried again, selected "forge" and hit play and still no twilight forest showing under mod (please see attached screenshot 7, 8, 11).

 

So what do you think?

 

P.S. I have also attached the log after my latest try.

You changed "Game Directory" to your mods folder.

The Game Directory is supposed to be the folder that contains the mods folder, .minecraft by default

Hi DaemonUmbra, I think I was told to do that by the Pixelmon installation instruction but apparently I misunderstood the wording...

 

I tried and it worked! Thank you so so much you saved me from a Minecraft without Mods!

 

Have a wonderful day/night!
