Forge crashes on loading screen of Minecraft launcher

Posted December 18, 20205 yr

12/18/20

Hello and thank you in advance for the help! So I have downloaded and redownloaded Forge. I am brand new to Modding, so Im learning along the way. I wanted to try Minecolonies and had the help of youtube (“The Breakdown”) and it was working! Maybe the 2nd day I tried getting on and the game crashes on the loading screen. On the screen it says “Game crashed Exit Code: 0”.

I have up to date Forge, Minecolonies, Minecraft, Java (as far as ik), and structurize.

Please provide debug.log (more info on where it is and how to provide it in my signature below, just expand the spoiler)

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

Make sure you have the correct version of Forge installed (some packs are heavily dependent on one specific build of Forge)
Make a launcher profile targeting this version of Forge.
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).
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.

Open a command prompt (CMD, Powershell, Terminal, etc).
Navigate to the folder you extracted Forge’s MDK to (the one that had all the licenses in).
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
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)
Now you can share your GitHub link with those who you are asking for help.

So I tried doing the "logs" option for the links. and I used "paste.gg". I copy and pasted the same log into its "system". All I got back was a bunch of numbers and letters?

That file is called debug-5.log.gz. You need to post debug.log.

I opened the "Minecraft Game Output" through the launcher and only had the "debug" options show and this is what I found-

Side note-I looked through where I found the debug-5.log, for just a regular "debug.log". I was not able to find anything except more "debug-(1-5).log"

Windows by default decides to hide "file extensions", so it might incorrectly show the file name as "debug". I recommend to turn this "feature" off - or at least know of its existence.

In that case... is this it?

Delete this file.

I deleted the file and now it opens/runs! When on the main screen of Minecraft, in the mods tab. it says i need to update JDK to use structerize, Mine Colonies, and Forge. I checked the Java thing on my laptop and it says its fully updated and it is java version 8 update 271

Ignore that. The mods are loaded fine.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

Silent Accord Mod Idea

Hello modders,

I have a detailed concept for a Minecraft mod called Silent Accord and I’m looking for a collaborator. I don’t have a budget, but I can provide a full design document and help with ideas, testing, and content.

The mod idea:

Every hostile mob (and most neutral mobs) has a rare neutral variant that is passive unless attacked.

Players can gain trust with these rare variants. Trust spreads only to the same species, while killing regular mobs lowers trust and increases fear in nearby regular mobs.

Rare variants are always neutral, even if you kill regular mobs.

Trust does not drift naturally — the world permanently remembers your choices.

Friendly rare variants can eventually help the player in combat or provide small rewards.

Normal spawn rates and difficulty remain unchanged.

Multiplayer is supported: each player has separate trust/fear levels.

Core Features in Detail:

1. Rare Variants

Unique visual cue.

Always neutral unless attacked.

Spread trust via “Trust Pulses” to nearby same-species mobs while alive.

2. Trust & Fear System

Killing 1–2 regular mobs → slight trust decrease.

Repeated killing → fear increases, regular mobs revert to hostile.

Trust spreads locally through rare variants only.

Permanent until changed by player actions.

3. Friendly Behavior

Rare variants and some influenced regular mobs can become friendly or protective.

Friendly mobs may assist the player against threats of the same species.

Trust must be earned and maintained.

4. Scope

Ideally includes every hostile mob and most neutral mobs across dimensions.

Can start with Overworld mobs only as version 1.0.

Why This Mod is Exciting:

Adds emotional depth and moral choice to survival gameplay.

The world reacts permanently to player actions.

Rare variants give players allies in dangerous areas without making the game easy.

Scalable: start small, expand to full world.

What I Can Provide:

Full design document with every mob, rare variant, and trust/fear rules.

Testing and feedback.

Creative input for visuals, names, and behaviors.

I’m looking for a modder who wants to collaborate on Silent Accord, starting with a smaller subset of mobs if needed. If you’re interested, I can send the complete design document so you can see exactly how it would work.

I’m really excited about this mod and think it could be something unique in the Minecraft community.

If you think of someone else who could help me, please let me know

Thank you for your time!

Mi mapa de journey map no carga las partes nuevas del mundo que exploro.

Hacew un mes cree mi mundo en aternos y todo iba bien, hasta que empece a explorr nuevos lugares y el mapa dej+o de cargar, además de que se me borran los waypoints que pongo. Intenté descargar el mod en otro lado, actualizar la versión, borrar el mod y volverlo a poner, pero nada funciona. Mi mundo está muy avanzado y nno puedo borrarlo.
