I've been trying to download for the last hour, but keep getting an error right after i click "install client". It approves but then an error pops up saying "failed to download version manifest, can not find client jar URL.".

I have a Dell computer, Java installed, and Jarfix installed as well. Please help me figure this out in the easiest way possible (If you couldn't tell I don't know computers very well). Thank you!

Please provide a screenshot and your installer log

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:

Reveal hidden contents

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

I feel like an idiot, but what/where is the installer log?

It should be in the same folder as the installer, and have the installer's name but with a .jar.log instead of just .jar

Unless you have Windows set to hide file extensions, then it will appear with .jar

- How the HELL do I render something to the screen directly (e.g. drawing pixels, lines, and stuff a la OpenGL) in Forge 1.21.1?
  
  By NormalExisting · Posted 17 minutes ago
  
  The official documentation says next to nothing and I have had no success finding reference snippets (e.g. minimap mods and other stuff that involves directly drawing to the screen). Google searches and GPT outputs reference deprecated and/or removed content from older versions. Legends speak of a layered rendering system that also has next to no documentation. Any help is appreciated. Even drawing just a single pixel is enough.
