I have downloaded forged, launched without the mods. Created a mods folder and put the mods under "minecraft." . When I launch, the mods aren't even accessed. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? (no error messages just normal launch)
Could you take a screenshot of your mods folder and the path that they are located in? Did you select the Forge profile in your Minecraft launcher? Also, did you download the mods for the correct version of the game? (i.e. 1.12.2 mods if you're playing on Forge 1.12.2)
sorry I am on my nephews computer and trying to find screen shot . here is pathway C:\Users\jonah\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
Yep using the profile for 1.8.9 and all mod versions are 1.8.9. I even tried copying the mods folder from my daughters that is operating just fine and still not even trying to load them from the launcher
Yes, it seems like there's something going on with the way your launcher is set up because the only files that should be in your mods folder are the mods themselves (the logs, resourcepacks, and saves folders should not be in there). Start the game up with your Forge profile selected, wait until the game loads to the main menu, then copy-paste the output from the launcher here using paste.ubuntu.com so we can see where everything's being loaded from.
I'm sorry, very new at this. How do I find the launcher loaded details. Is it a log file under minecraft. ? I will move the saves file, that was me putting a 2nd copy in b/c I tried a un/reinstall of minecraft and didn't want to lose his worlds. I posted the launcher log
If so, there should be a new installation in the launcher. you can see the installations left of the "play" button or in the Installations tab. Also, the folders "logs","resourcepacks" and "saves" and the file "options" should be in .minecraft NOT in .minecraft\mods
Also, please only download mods from their original source or from curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods and not from other shady websites.
forge was downloaded then setup as a new installation inside minecraft. I moved all of the other files out of the mods folder already. Yes downloaded from curseforge originally. (later copied my daughter's folder b/c her's works). Still won't even attempt to load the mods. Notice on the bottom left of the launch it shows 1.8.9
Update. Trying 12.1.2 since this was the latest MCA mod on curseforge. Still having the same problem that the launcher does not seem to recognize that there is a mods folder. As it launches you never see it scroll through loading of any mods. Just shows one Mojang big black lettered screen with red processing bar, then goes to main screen.
I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. Going to post here in case anyone else makes the same mistake. When I was creating a new installation on the launch screen, I didn't scroll down far enough to chose the one with the word forge actually in the release.

Are you sure you have installed forge for 1.8.9?
