Failure message: Missing License Information in file Mod File

[arkeN 0]

Dear Modding Community,

 

I started Modding with Minecraft Version 1.15.2, however when i updated to 1.16.3 i ran into an error (see title).

I couldn't find anything in the forum, I'll post the whole crash log as an attachment.

 

Looks like something is wrong with the mods.toml file, but i couldn't find any errors.

 

Thank you in advance

Aaron

1.15.2 has an optional license information. 1.16.3 requires that the license information be present in the toml. You can simply add license="<your license here>" into your mods.toml near the top and that should fix it. You can view some licenses here.

Thank you very much, this fixed it for me.

Hey!

I just had the same problem. I added this:

Did I do something wrong?

It says:

Your file is invalid TOML. Look up how to properly include multi-line strings in TOML files.

That said - the license should simply be the name of the license, not the full license text.

hello theydies and gentlethems,

 

I tried to add the license field to a mods.toml file.
I did this on a mac.

I made the .jar file again from terminal using the modded .toml.

I got an error, 'not a valid mod file'.

I tried restoring the original .toml but still used terminal's jar cf command and got the same error.

Is the mac .jar different than others?
How does one successfully mod a .toml?

 

I am a novice at all this command line stuff and just trying to get the newest Forge to load NetherEx mod for my 8 year old.

Its just a text file.
