Forge doesn't install properly

Start new topic

Posted February 22, 20205 yr

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.

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

New Forum Design/Update: Issues and Suggestions

I don't know that either - newer worked with Invision Community 😕

The Forum/Guides show a customized toolbar:
https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/themes-and-customizations/editor-and-emoticons_327/customizing-editor-toolbars-r132/
But I have no idea if this applies to v5

Regarding the Forum, "Mark all as read" seems to be hidden as default but is available if I click on my profile:
https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/481218-fix-for-unreadmark-read/

I saw that it works here and also fixes the one unread thread mentioned in my first post - so I had just overlooked it

The toolbar changes are just QoL - if there is no way to change it at the moment, that's fine

New Forum Design/Update: Issues and Suggestions

I understand what you're asking for, but I don't know how to do that. The settings have moved around a bit in the admin panel and I can no longer see a way of customising the editor. If you know how to customise the editor in Invision Community 5, let me know and I'll try applying it.
