The title explains everything, I want to look at all json string variables and what they can do, I mean all of them, but I can't find any API and in eclipse you can search for functions and read what they can do, but you can't read string variables in json files. Why is there no api?

You're asking why Forge doesn't support you just browsing and screwing with any piece of JSON data that Forge might not even know about?

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

Google has a JSON library, which is included in your workspace.

Because no one wrote it. Welcome to open source development.

All the json data files are already detailed on the official wiki, why would Forge have to do it again?

  Hey there! I removed Bobby as Pyralis suggested and found that I still had that and a another closely related bug (or same bug, different presentation) wherein a torch only illuminates its own block and gets smoothed 1 block out, then gone. After comparing your modlist to mine (I'm on fabric, also 1.20.1) I found we had 2 mods with the same versions. Mine || Yours Bobby-5.0.1.jar ||bobby-1.20.1_v5.0.1.jar ImmediatelyFast-Fabric-1.2.17+1.20.4.jar || ImmediatelyFast-Forge-1.2.17+1.20.4.jar Removing ImmediatelyFast.. immediately (😉) seems to have fixed the issue. Since it's client only- no new world needed either! To note, I also removed all mods related to or containing direct requirements for Sodium, Indium and Iris which may have played a role, I did not test with re-adding.
- ItemBlockRenderTypes.setRenderLayer() is deprecated, what's the new method for 1.19.3?
  
  By Joxel · Posted 3 hours ago
  
  For anyone still looking for the equivalent for 1.19.2+, the render type should be set for the model. In datagen, this can be done by using ModelBuilder::renderType, otherwise just add the line directly to the json file. As for the validity of this question, the idiomatic solution is presented nowhere online; ModelBuilder::renderType is never addressed when discussing block render types meaning that the solution I have provided is the first mentioned usage. Furthermore, there are no external references to this function meaning that to discover its existence requires a deep search through Forge's code. Therefore it is not only understandable but expected that most beginner modders would struggle to find this function given the already poor documentation of Forge's API.
