Better MC Modpack | Fabric | 1.19.2
Hi, I had the same problem.
I let a server hosting automatically install the Fabric Better MC Modpack on my server.
But the server.jar wasn't Fabric but Forge.
I got the same error: Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.codec.DecoderException: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: readerIndex(12) + length(1) exceeds writerIndex(12): PooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf(ridx:12, widx: 12, cap:12/13)
How can fixed?

Please check your server log for errors from your plugins.
If you need further help understanding the errors, please send us the whole log file.
Where can I find the server log?
Logs are stored in
<server_directory>/logs/
. Search for a file explorer in your server's management interface and navigate to that directory. Once you've opened that up, search for the latest.log
file. Some providers have a separate page for logs and may hide the "logs" folder.
On Aternos:
โข Go to https://aternos.org/log/.
On Minehut and server.pro:
โข Go to the "files" tab in the left menu.
โข Navigate to the root directory of your server.
โข From there navigate to /logs/latest.log
.
What should I do with the log?
โข First of all, read it! I mean, that's what you do all the time when you run a server, isn't it? Try to locate any errors that have anything to do with the issue you are facing.
โข If you got the latest.log
file or created a .txt
file with the necessary errors you can upload these directly to the channel, but we prefer if you upload them to https://mclo.gs/.
โข If you have trouble downloading the log file, copy/paste the text to a paste service (like mclogs). Copy the link that it gives you and send it to us. (Don't worry, McLogs hides your users' IPs.)Admincraft Canned Responses
server log
Please use a paste service instead!
Paste services are more mobile friendly and easier to read than just posting a log file
latest.txt

Use mclo.gs pls
You aren't running a modded server, ofc you're not going to be able to join using a content added modded client.
yikes
The server is fine, it tells me that it is open and working without problems. The problem is when I open my minecraft with the modpack already installed and enter the server. It throws me that error.

Read what I said carefully.
I didn't say you weren't running a server.
I said you weren't running a MODDED server.
Are you sure your server has got fabric/forge & the mods
You're running the vanilla jar.
And how do I fix that?
how do i run a modified server?
You need to change the server jar
Gimmie a sec
Ok now I can type better
Soo your server was forge right
Nope
Fabric
Alright it's the same process
Ok
Uh what's your host btw? Most hosts allow you to change the server jar from their panel
sparked hosted | Apollo
Have you seen something about versions?
If not then you can just
https://fabricmc.net/use/server/
Download their jar from there
done and now?
@1whoยกssus? I replace the server.jar with that file?
Yeah
You might want to rename it to server.jar tho
Ok
Ty
I try
Then you can make a new folder
Called mods
And you have to upload the mods there too
I guess bettermc has a modpack version that excludes client side mods?
I'm going to try it
Give me a few minutes to see if it works
YEAH
@1whoยกssus? ty so much my friend
Please consider buying Minecraft whenever you can so you can use online mode to true and enjoy a better Minecraft experience. Most members on this server usually do not help users on offline mode (although some do)
Np
It already works but now I want to add some plugins. How can I do it?
Just want to say that host looks too expensive comparing what they offer
You can't ๐
I know
Plugins are for something called spigot/paper
Yep
Check #marketplace the next time
Ty
You can ask for good hosting providers there
And that doesn't work on fabric
No plugin works for fabric?
Nop
World guard was written to work for spigot/paper
So it won't work with fabric or forge
You can only run fabric mods on fabric.
You can only run forge mods on forge.
You can only run plugins on spigot based servers.
Yup
And if you hear of mohist/ arclight/hybrid, do not use them
But I need the login plugin to play with my friends
how can i fix that
What's the plugin?
SpigotMC - High Performance Minecraft
UserLogin
UserLogin
