I've seen a lot of tutorials around the web, but they're just focused on creating a certain mod, which is completely useless if you want to create something different.

I want to learn minecraft modding with forge, but the documentation seems to be outdated and sometimes it doesn't look like a documentation, instead, it looks like a API Reference.

All i can do is watch the minecraft's code, but it doesn't make so much sense to me. If you give me advices, i will be grateful, thank u ♥

Do you have a solid grasp of Java?

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.

Video:

Spoiler

 

 

 

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]

      Exit code 1 with no mods installed on Minecraft Java Forge Versions above 1.18.2 (1.19 and up)

      By Yoda5577 · Posted

      Whenever I launch Minecraft Forge (With or without any mods installed, yes, I've checked my mods folder, it is empty. I also tried Curseforge's app.) above the version 1.18.2 (Versions 1.18.2 and below work fine), the game crashes before opening and shows error code 1. I have no clue what it could be, I've tried many different options on my own, but any suggestion helps.

      Game crashing instantly after opening with no mods installed

      By Hanabi · Posted

      Hello support, I would like to tell you that I recently had troubles with getting into forge in Minecraft. I wanted to play with my friend a modpack in the game in version 1.20.1 when I downloaded it it crashed so we I started deleting some unnecessary mods to maybe lower the pressure if my PC is not good enough to run the modpack. But I went to delete every mod and installed a hole new version of forge with no mods installed or anything with it it still crashed. I found some help on the forms telling to download java 17 and install it on my windows so I did that and still couldn’t play because it crashes  The log files and everything I could find to help this problem is here : https://pastebin.com/9rWpANcW Hope your help arrives quickly

      2 different errors for the same reason, on the server it tells me one reason and in the game, locally another thing

      By Roshby23 · Posted

      I'm testing a modpack for a server, and everything is fine, until I update the Aether mod from version "aether-1.20.1-1.4.2-neoforge" to version "aether-1.20.1-1.5.1-neoforge" now on the server it gives the error: Failed to load datapacks, can't proceed with server load.

      Version 1.21.3 Loading Error

      By Spunk_McKenzie · Posted

      I just tried installing Forge version 1.21.3, and tried launching it with no mods installed. It loads, and immediately crashes while "loading bootstrap resourses." Does anyone know a fix for this? My Java is up to date, as well as my graphics drivers. Here's a snip right before it crashes: https://imgur.com/a/elLujPj

      Minecraft server Bewitchment Mod error Could not execute entrypoint stage 'main' due to errors, provided by 'bewitchment'! Cause

      By WorstLuck · Posted

      I know this is a forge only place, but just to be clear, my error is in Fabric I was actually super frustrated while trying to fix this, like this mod does work when I play it by launching it in minecraft, but when I was trying to install it onto the server it just kept crashing so I decided to delete every mod I've got but kept the bewitchment mod and the necessary mod it needs to function and I tried to run the server... But it somehow still crashed, and the thing is that I really do want the bewitchment mod to be in the SMP so it'll be SUPER helpful if anyone can figure out on how to fix this: It didn't give me any "crash-reports" so I'll be sending the logs and what the console said: Console: [18:51:46] [main/INFO]: SpongePowered MIXIN Subsystem Version=0.8.5 Source=file:/home/container/libraries/net/fabricmc/sponge-mixin/0.13.3+mixin.0.8.5/sponge-mixin-0.13.3+mixin.0.8.5.jar Service=Knot/Fabric Env=SERVER [18:51:46] [main/WARN]: Error loading class: io/github/apace100/origins/power/PreventItemUsePower (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: io/github/apace100/origins/power/PreventItemUsePower) [18:51:46] [main/WARN]: @Mixin target io.github.apace100.origins.power.PreventItemUsePower was not found bewitchment.mixins.json:integration.origins.PreventItemUsePowerMixin from mod bewitchment [18:51:47] [main/INFO]: Initializing MixinExtras via com.llamalad7.mixinextras.service.MixinExtrasServiceImpl(version=0.3.5).
