1.8 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]

    • I tried to play a mod for forge 1.20.2 and the mod didn't work, fix this please.
    • EntityRenders requires an EntityRenderProvider. This is what I have: @Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = MODID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD, value = Dist.CLIENT) public static class ClientModEvents { @SubscribeEvent public static void clientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) { EntityRenderers.register(HOSE.get(), new HoseEntityRenderFactory()); } private static class HoseEntityRenderFactory implements EntityRendererProvider<HoseEntity> { @Override public EntityRenderer<HoseEntity> create(Context context) { return new HoseEntityRenderer<>(context); } } } Replace HoseEntity with your own entity. If you're doing multiple try doing generics (though untested).
    • First off, I know should probably be able to debug this on my own, but this is my first mod, and I couldn't figure it out for multiple days now. What I'm trying to do, is to modify the default minecart by replacing it with a slightly different version, but I'm stuck 1 step before that, that being "cloning" the minecart as a separate Entity/Item. Here you can see a GitHub gist of all relevant files: https://gist.github.com/Kipama/cd39127e8891715a3006fa990ca7ff14 If there are files missing or access isn't working as intended, please let me know! In the Gist you can find the following files: -CustomMinecartEntity.java:        This file extends AbstractMinecart and is a clone of the vanilla minecart entity. I know I should override the minecart entity directly, but as this should work rn, I didn't change it yet. -CustomMinecartRenderer.java:  Basically vanilla MinecartRenderer with a Custom slapped on it, extends MinecraftRenderer. -ModEntities.java:                         This is where the new Entity gets added to the deferred register ENTITY_TYPES. -ModernMinecarts.java:               The main mod file. Relevant part is at the bottom, where I try to use onClientSetup to register the new Entity using EntityRenderers.register(). That last part is where my problem begins. When I try to register the new entity using EntityRenderers.register(ModEntities.CUSTOM_MINECART_ENTITY.get(), CustomMinecartRenderer::new); I get a syntax Error saying the provided and required types don't match. These are the required and provided types: ModEntities.CUSTOM_MINECART_ENTITY.get(): Required: EntityType<? extends T> Provided:EntityType<CustomMinecartEntity> CustomMinecartRenderer::new: Required: EntityRendererProvider<T> Provided:<method reference   So far I looked at 2 different Git repositories implementing custom entities, but haven't been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any answers, suggestions and ridicules appreciated.
    • Yes, it is. I found out how to do it. (for Forge 1.20.1) Add this to main class constructor: // ... MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.<PlayerInteractEvent.EntityInteract>addListener(e -> { Player playerWhoUsed = e.getEntity(); ItemStack usedItemStack = e.getItemStack(); Entity entityThatWasClicked = e.getTarget(); if (usedItemStack.getItem() instanceof YourItem item) { // your code... e.setCancelled(true); // you can remove this if you want to continue interaction } } // ...
    • Hi there, I'm hoping to create a block that renders a fake skybox, blocking anything behind it. There are a couple of mods that already do this, but they are very outdated. One example: https://github.com/Elix-x/Skyblocks/ https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/skyblocks I'm not familiar enough with rendering to be able to port it. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction? Any help would be appreciated.
