Does forge have any viruses/trojans?

Everything Forge is Open Source on GitHub, you can literally see what you're downloading there.

 

No there are no viruses or trojans in Forge, many virus detectors like to flag executable files made by people who haven't paid to be whitelisted by the anti-virus maker

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.

 

Twitch Launcher: If you are using the Twitch Launcher, their configurations break Forge's log settings, fortunately there is an easier workaround than I originally thought, this works even with Twitch'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]

Is that really a thing? I think it mostly depends on Signatures or its blocking Jar Files in general.

 

If this was a real thing 60% of the Software would be blocked. And that isn't happening.

I check forge on virus total and it detected a Trojan, should I be concerned?

Try a Minecraft Jar or a Library in your Minecraft Libraries Folder. It should appear with at least one.

 

Anti viruses is not always correct.

      [1.15.2] Minecraft Registry Problem When Loading from Jar

      By Jack Richard · Posted

      I have multiple shadowed dependencies in my mod, and it seems that something isn't working correctly here...   When I look in the jar file, all of my dependencies are properly relocated and included, but I seem to have an issue with Minecraft recognizing it as a mod. The error says  Very strange. The debug.log shows the mod failed to load because of a   Here's my build.gradle if that will be any help. buildscript { repositories { maven { url = 'https://files.minecraftforge.net/maven' } maven { url = "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/" } jcenter() mavenCentral() } dependencies { classpath group: 'net.minecraftforge.gradle', name: 'ForgeGradle', version: '3.+', changing: true } } plugins { id "com.github.johnrengelman.shadow" version "2.0.4" } apply plugin: 'java' apply plugin: 'net.minecraftforge.gradle' apply plugin: 'eclipse' apply plugin: 'maven-publish' version = '1.0' group = 'com.mod.mod' // http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html archivesBaseName = 'mod' sourceCompatibility = targetCompatibility = compileJava.sourceCompatibility = compileJava.targetCompatibility = '1.8' // Need this here so eclipse task generates correctly. //Print out JVM information so that we know what version is running.

      You've demystified this a little bit for me and pointed out a good note - if I want to duplicate existing items, since I have the source code I can technically copy and paste it into my own class to clone the complete logic. I'll see how that goes.    Thank you!

      I ran it using the runClient configuration generated by  gradlew genEclipseRuns in the command line.

      That's odd, I couldn't find anything wrong with the code. could you describe exactly what steps you are taking to run the mod?   also: your group in build.gradle and your main path doesn't follow the convention, seeing that you have a github, you could use that http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html   EDIT: Ideally I would pull the repo to my machine and try running the mod myself, but my weak computer takes 4 hours to decompile mc, So... sorry I can't do that
