I am trying to download Minecraft forge 1.12.2 and the loading screen seems to be stuck. It says...

 

"Downloading libraries"

"Unpacking packed file akka-actor_2.11-2.3.3.jar.pack.xz"

 

and it's frozen there. I've re tried the download a couple times and I've let it sit like this all night incase it was just taking a long time but nothing changes. I was able to download forge 1.15.2 with no problems but I need to get 1.12.2 for the mods I want to instal. I am on a macOS Catalina, version 10.15.4. Is it posable that I can't use forge 1.12.2 on this computer or is there something else I am missing? Please let me know! :)

1.12 is no longer supported on this forum.

Please update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

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.

Spoiler

Logs (Most issues require logs to diagnose):

Spoiler

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:

Spoiler
  1. Make sure you have the correct version of Forge installed (some packs are heavily dependent on one specific build of Forge)
  2. Make a launcher profile targeting this version of Forge.
  3. Set the launcher profile's GameDir property to the pack's instance folder (not the instances folder, the folder that has the pack's name on it).
  4. Now launch the pack through that profile and follow the "Mojang Launcher" instructions above.

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

 

Server Not Starting:

Spoiler

If your server does not start or a command window appears and immediately goes away, run the jar manually and provide the output.

 

Reporting Illegal/Inappropriate Adfocus Ads:

Spoiler

Get a screenshot of the URL bar or copy/paste the whole URL into a thread on the General Discussion board with a description of the Ad.

Lex will need the Ad ID contained in that URL to report it to Adfocus' support team.

 

Posting your mod as a GitHub Repo:

Spoiler

When you have an issue with your mod the most helpful thing you can do when asking for help is to provide your code to those helping you. The most convenient way to do this is via GitHub or another source control hub.

When setting up a GitHub Repo it might seem easy to just upload everything, however this method has the potential for mistakes that could lead to trouble later on, it is recommended to use a Git client or to get comfortable with the Git command line. The following instructions will use the Git Command Line and as such they assume you already have it installed and that you have created a repository.

 

  1. Open a command prompt (CMD, Powershell, Terminal, etc).
  2. Navigate to the folder you extracted Forge’s MDK to (the one that had all the licenses in).
  3. Run the following commands:
    1. git init
    2. git remote add origin [Your Repository's URL]
      • In the case of GitHub it should look like: https://GitHub.com/[Your Username]/[Repo Name].git
    3. git fetch
    4. git checkout --track origin/master
    5. git stage *
    6. git commit -m "[Your commit message]"
    7. git push
  4. Navigate to GitHub and you should now see most of the files.
    • note that it is intentional that some are not synced with GitHub and this is done with the (hidden) .gitignore file that Forge’s MDK has provided (hence the strictness on which folder git init is run from)
  5. Now you can share your GitHub link with those who you are asking for help.

[Workaround line, please ignore]

      Strange Crash Due to Error From Missing Class: net.minecraft.client.gui.screens.LoadingOverlay (Minecraft, Forge, 1.20.1)

      By Benjaggo · Posted

      I have been trying to solve a consistent crashing issue on my brother's computer where it will crash during the "Scanning Mod Candidates" phase of the loading process that starts when you click the play button on the Minecraft launcher. The issue seems to stem from a missing library that it mentions in the log file I provide below. I might I'm missing the bigger issue here for a smaller one but hopefully someone can find what I'm missing. Here's all of the stuff that I've been able to figure out so far: 1. It has nothing to do with mods, the crash happened with a real modpack, and even when I made a custom modpack and launched it without putting ANY mods into it (That is where the log file comes from by the way). 2. I have tried to find this class like a file in the Minecraft folders, but I've had no luck finding it (I don't think it works like that, but since I really don't understand how it works, I just figured I'd try). 3. I haven't seen anyone else have this issue before. 4. I know that my modpack (with mods) does work since I've run it on my computer, and it works fantastic. For some reason my brother's computer can't seem to run anything through curseforge. 5. This is for Minecraft version 1.20.1, Minecraft launcher version 3.4.50-2.1.3, forge 47.3.0, and curseforge app version 1.256.0.21056 6. My brother is using a Dell laptop from 6 years ago running Windows 10 (If you think more info on this would help, please ask as I do have it. I'm just choosing not to put it here for now). 7. I have reinstalled the curseforge app and installed Minecraft version 1.20.1. I have not reinstalled Minecraft or forge 47.3.0 but I didn't know if that would help. 8. I had an error code of 1 Please let me know if there is anything else that I am missing that you would like me to add to this post/add in a comment! Lastly, many thanks in advance to whoever can help! ------------- LOG FILE (latest.log) ------------- (from /Users/<NAME OF USER>/cursforge/minecraft/Instances/<THE NAME OF MY EMPTY MODPACK>/logs/latest.log) (This was made after running an empty modpack with same versions for all apps) ("[REDACTED]" is not the actual text from the log, it is me replacing text I figured wouldn't be necessary for fixing and would hurt my privacy) https://pastebin.com/hxXvGGEK ------------- DEBUG.LOG (I realized that I should have put this here first after I had done all of the work on putting latest.log in) -------------------- (again, "[REDACTED]" is not the actual text from the log, it is me replacing text I figured wouldn't be necessary for fixing and would hurt my privacy) https://pastebin.com/Fmh8GHYs
