So, I'm trying to install forge for 1.14.4 and I'm using the provided installer at the http://files.minecraftforge.net/ but when i finish the instalation and look in the launcher, the forge 1.14.4 version doesn't show up.

i've looked in the versions folder and found the 1.14.4-forge-28.2.0 file, but in it there's only a 1.14.4-forge-28.2.0.json and no jar file.

i've looked in the .json folder also, and i found the lines

"libraries": [
{
"name": "net.minecraftforge:forge:1.14.4-28.2.0",
"downloads": {
"artifact": {
"path": "net/minecraftforge/forge/1.14.4-28.2.0/forge-1.14.4-28.2.0.jar",
"url": "",
"sha1": "afe6f0d2a5341dfbc3c225208ce64d5684ece8f1",
"size": 183405
}
}
},

in it i see that the "url": argument is empty.

What am i doing worng, and how can i fix this?

It sounds like you're looking at the installation list rather than the version list.

Try making a new installation and selecting Forge from the Minecraft Version dropdown.

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

- Performance issues on forge 1.20.1 V 47.4.0
  
  By RazenBrand · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  I've been attempting to trouble shoot performance issues with this version of forge - I've been getting 10 - 14 FPS on a fresh install while the same settings on vanilla will net me ~ 250 FPS I've tried setting ram to 2, 4, 6, 8, 16 GB, making sure that the GPU is being used - although i cant confirm other than the F3 screen - I've cleared out my .Minecraft folder and done a fresh install of forge multiple times, I even reinstalled Java 17 - from what i read this is the recommended for this version of MC, - Graphics drivers are fully up to date and I've tried it on both studio and game ready drivers. I have a spark report but I dont know what to do with it https://spark.lucko.me/BrrJ5vzX6k Would love some help for this as Ive spent three days on this

  I created a Modpack Forge in 1.20.1 for my friend and I. There are 135 mods including "Essential". I was able to play an 8 hour session without problem but when I relaunch my world, I crashed when I opened the menu of the game "ESC" or after about 15 minutes of session. I can't find the source of the problem. Latest.log and Debug.log : https://paste.ee/p/B0npvlRw

  Why not? Please explain what you have tried, in detail. Step by step is installing the server, placing mod .jar files in the mods folder within the folder you installed the server, and running the run.bat file. If this is not working for you, please post the debug.log from the logs folder to a site like https://mclo.gs and post the link to it here.
