So I have recently created a forge mod using java and I have the forge client installed but when I put the executable jar file in the mods folder the mod never shows up as loaded or exists in game

Custom forge mod meaning what exactly?

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

How could that be relevant to your issue? Think about it, every mod is made by someone. Please provide logs for more context.

It's sad how much time mods spend saying "x is no longer supported on this forum. Please update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support".

Show your mod in the mods folder with the address bar visible and provide debug.log as described in the Logs section of my signature below

  By MoyshaKing · Posted 6 hours ago

- Forge 1.16.5 doesn't seem to be working over a LAN connection.
  
  By VivCifi · Posted 12 hours ago
  
  Hey! I'm having the same issue with the same forge version of Minecraft over LAN. Vanilla LAN of the same version works. I, the attempting client, could host a modded LAN of the version, and the usually attempting host was able to join; but they could not see it as an ooen LAN server in their connections. Using my internal IP in a direct connection with the right port still let them connect to the lan server though. The same results couldn't be produced the other way around. Firewall and network connection settings have been evaluated, we can't figure out what to do

  Do you mean waystones? You can use KubeJS to remove and add a changed recipe for it: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/kubejs Add KubeJS and start the modpack once to generate the files for the mod In your modpack folder, you will find now a kubejs folder Go to server_scripts (create the folder if missing) - yes, also for singleplayer, use the server_scripts folder Create a new file "reciperemove.js" Edit this file and add the recipe for the waypoint mod: ServerEvents.recipes(event => { let toRemove = [ {output: 'waystones:example_item'}, ]; for (const remove of toRemove) { event.remove(remove); } }) Just make sure you are using the correct item ID Create another file "recipes.js" in the server_scripts folder and use: ServerEvents.recipes(event => { event.shaped( Item.of('waystones:example_item'), [ 'AAA', 'BCB', 'AAA' ], { A: 'minecraft:stone', B: 'waystones:item_1', C: 'waystones:item_2' } ) }) The Letter Block with AAA etc is a crafting table - so there you define the recipe and the items
