Hello. I recently downloaded Forge 32.0.59 for Minecraft 1.16.1, and installed it. In my mods folder, I created a new folder called 1.16.1 to put my mods in, just like I did for 1.8.9 and 1.7.10. However when I loaded Forge up, the mod didn't work.

I then moved the mod out of that folder and into just the mods folder. I restarted Minecraft, and the mod worked. Do the version folders not work anymore?

This feature was left out of the rewrite that took place in 1.13 because the "Installations" feature of the Minecraft Launcher is infinitely superior

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]

    • Hello!  The detailed description of how you got to where you are is certainly valuable.  But, at the end of the day (well, any time of the day actually), it is going to be the actual logs that going to provide the necessary details to hopefully solve your startup issue. Part of me wonders if you have installed a client-only mod on a dedicated server.  But I may very well be wrong, and it will be the logs that will tell that story.
    • Hello there! I didn't quite know where to go regarding this, but ended up deciding to post it here. I have been running a forge server with around 200 mods for me and some friends to play on casually, but have recently started to get an issue when booting the server. This all started after I decided to add some new mods to the server. Like usual, I add a mod, test run the server for any issues, and if all is well, I'll add a next one and so on until I have added all that I wanted to. After doing so, in all test runs, it all seemed to work just fine. However, the next day, after trying to boot the server, I kept getting an error regarding java.lang.NullPointerException, towards one of the mods I had recently added. So far so good, I removed the mod that was causing the issue, started up the server again, and here in when things took a turn for the worse. I received another java.lang.NullPointerException null error that wouldn't allow me to boot the server, but this time with a mod that wasn't part of the new ones I had recently added. I found this weird, but nonetheless, I removed it thinking it might be causing some conflicts with some of the new ones. Afterwards, booting the server again proved to be impossible, as it gave me another java.lang.NullPointerException null error with the 3rd mod I had ever installed on the server! This mod was there since the start, it added some biomes and had been just fine so far. This turn of events made me remove all the newer mods I had recently added in hopes to fix this whole ordeal, but alas, to no avail. Same error, with that same biome mod that had been there since day one. Reluctantly, I removed the biome mod, booted the server, and voila! The server was running, although without a major mod that had always been there to begin with. As I do not wish to part ways with this mod, specially since it had been working so far without any issues, I tried to bring everything back to how it was before I added those new mods, but kept on getting the same java.lang.NullPointerException null error for the biome mod. Even adding the newer mods won't cause me this error, with exception of the one that started it all, which I find quite odd since the mods I had been using without any issues are now giving me the same error the newer one that started it all gave me. Now, I have checked that everything is up to date regarding the mods, forge (forge-1.20.1-47.3.12) and java. The modpack runs perfectly fine when I start Minecraft itself, and play singleplayer, or even when I open a LAN world, everything works. Everything aside from the server. From what I could gather, this java.lang.NullPointerException null error would point to a missing value of sorts, for an item perhaps, within the mod that is causing the error, but aside from removing the whole mod, I lack the knowledge on how to fix this. With this in mind, if anyone would be so kind as to shine some light into this situation, with a way to fix all this blunder, I would be most grateful!
    • If you want a mana GUI, call Minecraft.getInstance().setScreen(new ManaScreen()); somewhere display your GUI. I would recommend creating a keybind and listening to key events, and if your key bind is pressed down, running that code.
    • You are creating an entire new screen, or GUI. What you probably want is an Overlay.
