"Error a Java exception has occurred", even after uninstalling and reinstalling Java and JDK.

I was downloading the Distance Horizons 1.16.5 version on forge website. This error happens after installing when I try to run the path file. Here is a picture of the forge info on the file version I was downloading.

if I use 2.1.0 it will work with terraform 1.16.5?
Puhpine
Puhpine7mo ago
Yes, it should
wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago
But then i would have to run terraform 1.16.5 on the newest version of forge
Puhpine
Puhpine7mo ago
Maybe not I don't know. Terraforged doesn't work on the newest version of forge for 1.16.5?
wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago
Ill try it right now bruh now forge 1.20.4 isnt working
wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago
What version of forge should I use? @Puhpine
Puhpine
Puhpine7mo ago
There is a very small chance you should be using anything other than the latest version of forge You're trying 1.20.4 now? Can you send logs? /logsstored

You should send your latest.log file to provide additional useful information. Logs are located in the .minecraft/logs directory. On Windows: %appdata%\.minecraft\logs On Linux: ~/.minecraft/logs On Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/logs
wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago
What version should I use
Puhpine
Puhpine7mo ago
The latest
wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago

Puhpine
Puhpine7mo ago

wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago

Can you send me a screenshot of your mods folder? I think you got DH for the wrong mc version
wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago

Puhpine7mo ago
Yea, that DH is for minecraft 1.20.4 You are trying to run 1.16.5 Get this
wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago
Right now I am trying to run forged 1.20.4 thats when the crash happened
Puhpine
Puhpine7mo ago
No you're not. Not according the logs at least Still 1.16.5 Either way, you can't run both a 1.16.5 mod and a 1.20.4 mod at the same time
wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago
So I should use: 1: DH 2.1.0-1.16.5 2: Forge 1.20.4 3. Terraforge 1.16.5
Puhpine
Puhpine7mo ago
No, you can't run 1.16.5 mods on 1.20.4 The versions should match
wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago
so 1. DH 2.1.0 2. Forge 1.16.5 3. Terraforge 1.16.5
Puhpine
Puhpine7mo ago
Use forge 1.16.5 Yes Maybe there is a misunderstanding when it comes to version numbering There is a difference between minecraft versions, and forge versions. 1.16.5 and 1.20.4 are minecraft versions The forge you are using should always be made for the minecraft version you are using, and the mods you are using should be made for that Minecraft version as well The forge version you should be using will almost always be the latest forge version for the Minecraft version you are using
wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago
Yeah I think the initial problem was I was using the wrong DH version that I saw on the forge website. Everything is working fine now though. Appreicate it.

Puhpine
Puhpine7mo ago
No shaders will work with 1.16.5 unfortunately
wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago
Thats too bad
Puhpine
Puhpine7mo ago
Yep
wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago
Saw someone on reels using shaders with terraforge and dh
Puhpine
Puhpine7mo ago
They could have been using an in-dev version of reterraforged? Which is for higher minecraft versions that have shader compatibility, but is not yet released to the public
wage2490
wage2490OP7mo ago
Probably Anyway thank you.
