I REALLY hate to sound like an idiot, but can someone please tell me how to use the installer versions of FML. Whenever I download it, I get it in a .jar format, and you can only run .exe formats. Can someone please tell me how to install it? I even tried changing the file extension to a .exe but to no avail. If it makes any difference I am running a Windows 7 OS.

Well it turned out I had to manually assign the java program to open, by default it only allowed me to choose from notepad or 7-zip, but now the cmd only shows up for a second before going way, and nothing happened. After printing screen, because it only showed up for a split second, it said: Error: Could not find or load main class. Is there anyone here that has had a similar, and can tell me a way to fix this? If not, I'll resort to Google, just thought I might get a better answer here.

You've serverly screwed up your java install.

To manually run it just open cmd prompt, make sure you're in the same folder as the jar

And run:

java -jar {jarnamehere}

Otherwise, Google is your best bet to fix your file associations:

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

I just tried the cmd prompt and it says on mine "unable to access jarfile minecraftforge-installer etc". It's also showing in my downloads folder as a WinRAR Archive (it does this by default on any minecraft files (and some other files too) I download after something I did a while ago without knowing how and I've no idea how to fix it).

 

(Brainwave time - I just right clicked on the download file in the folder, opened with java, et voila!)

 

I suppose this could be useful if anyone else has the same situation as myself, even though unlikely, as double clicking on WinRAR Archive files just opens up another folder.

    • Thank you so much Choonster! That's what i was missing! For now i added a folder assets/<mod_id>/items and put the model definition JSON file with the item name in it: { "model":{ "type": "minecraft:model", "model": "teleportpugmod:item/teleportpug" } }   Some log errors/warnings pointing me into the right direction would've been nice 😅 Haven't had much time to look into the DataGenerator and ModelProviders, because i'm still at work. But i guess these would would make more sense if have many custom items and want to generate these model definition files?
    • Minecraft 1.21.4 requires a new model definition file for each item, which you don't have. These can be created through Data Generation, specifically the ModelProvider, BlockModelGenerators and ItemModelGenerators classes.
    • Hi,  I'm using Forge 47.3.0 for Minecraft 1.20.1 I apologise if this is obvious I am very new to modding for Minecraft. I sucessfully made a mod that launched without errors or crashes (without it doing anything) but in order to add the features I need, I need to add "Custom Portal API [Forge]" as a dependency. However no matter the way I've tried to acheive this, it crashes. I am pretty sure it's not the way I'm putting it in the repositories, the dependencies or the way I'm refrencing it, as I've a hundred diffrent combinations and multiple Maven methods. And on all those diffrent variations I still get this crash: pastebin.com/UhumzZCZ Any tips would be invaluable as I've been loosing my mind over this!
    • Hi, i'm really having problems trying to set the texture to my custom item. I thought i'm doing everything correctly, but all i see is the missing texture block for my item. I am trying this for over a week now and getting really frustrated. The only time i could make the texture work, was when i used an older Forge version (52.0.1) for Minecraft (1.21.4). Was there a fundamental change for textures and models somewhere between versions that i'm missing? I started with Forge 54.1.0 and had this problem, so in my frustration i tried many things: Upgrading to Forge 54.1.1, created multiple new projects, workspaces, redownloaded everything and setting things up multiple times, as it was suggested in an older thread. Therea are no errors in the console logs, but maybe i'm blind, so i pasted the console logs to pastebin anyway: https://pastebin.com/zAM8RiUN The only time i see an error is when i change the models JSON file to an incorrect JSON which makes sense and that suggests to me it is actually reading the JSON file.   I set the github repository to public, i would be so thankful if anyone could take a look and tell me what i did wrong: https://github.com/xLorkin/teleport_pug_forge   As a note: i'm pretty new to modding, this is my first mod ever. But i'm used to programming. I had some up and downs, but through reading the documentation, using google and experimenting, i could solve all other problems. I only started modding for Minecraft because my son is such a big fan and wanted this mod.
