Are you using the default minecraft launcher?
Paul
Paul4mo ago
yhes yes i installed something, idk what i added the 1.20.6 version im in public vc 1
majo24
majo244mo ago
I would recommend getting a custom minecraft launcher like Modrinth App or Prism Launcher. It will make playing with mods much easier
Paul
Paul4mo ago
but is it possible to install it on the original launcher?
majo24
majo244mo ago
Yea, thats also possible
Paul
Paul4mo ago
👍 optifine is a mod or a shader?
majo24
majo244mo ago
Is there any preffered modlauncher (for example fabric or neoforge) you want to use and for what version? Its a mod, but it isn't recommended to use it
Paul
Paul4mo ago
i installed neo forge distant horizons for 1.20.6
majo24
majo244mo ago
Ok, good Then launch the game in the neoforge instance once, you can close it after
Paul
Paul4mo ago
and added it to the mods folder on the same version
majo24
majo244mo ago
What did you add to the mods folder?
Paul
Paul4mo ago
this
majo24
majo244mo ago
Putting the neoforge file into the mods folder won't do anything Neoforge is the thing which loads mods, its not a mod itself
Paul
Paul4mo ago
a ok so how do i put it in the right path?😹
majo24
majo244mo ago
You have to execute the neoforge file you download, so it can create a new profile with neoforge installed
Paul
Paul4mo ago
when i open it it gives me an error
majo24
majo244mo ago
What error?
Paul
Paul4mo ago
"a java exception has occurred" maybe i need a new version of java
majo24
majo244mo ago
Whats the name of the file you're trying to execute?
Paul
Paul4mo ago
DistantHorizons-2.1.0-a-1.20.6-noForge .jar
majo24
majo244mo ago
Thats distant horizons not neoforge installer You can download the neoforge installer here
Paul
Paul4mo ago
i installed it rn
majo24
majo244mo ago
Then run the file
Paul
Paul4mo ago
it gives me the same error
majo24
majo244mo ago
Whats the name of the file?
Paul
Paul4mo ago
.
majo24
majo244mo ago
Again, thats distant horizons, not neoforge installer
Paul
Paul4mo ago
i ran this one first and it was installed
majo24
majo244mo ago
You don't run mods You put them into the mods folder, so mod loaders can load the mods
Paul
Paul4mo ago
both files?
majo24
majo244mo ago
No, only the mods, so not the neoforge installer So you put Distant Horizons into the mods folder If you have done that, you should be able to run the minecraft profile with neoforge
Paul
Paul4mo ago

majo24
majo244mo ago

Open minecraft again Open the minecraft launcher again Click on Installations Can you send logs /logstored

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 Please upload the file to mclo.gs instead of sending the raw file. This makes reading the contents of the file a lot easier and improves the chances of you getting the help needed. After uploading the file, click on Save and send the link.

majo244mo ago

Paul4mo ago

majo24
majo244mo ago
Download Oculus and Embeddium and download bliss from here and put it into the shaderpacks folder
Paul
Paul4mo ago
ok i need to put everything there? or only bliss in the shaderpacks folder
majo24
majo244mo ago
Only bliss The rest into the mods folder, like Distant Horizons
Paul
Paul4mo ago

majo24
majo244mo ago
The zipped file
Paul
Paul4mo ago
k oculus isnt for 1.20.6 only for 1.20.1 is it ok if i run the game like this>
majo24
majo244mo ago
No, the file for 1.20.1 won't work on 1.20.6
Paul
Paul4mo ago
Upstream to Iris 1.7.0 (Main feature is Distant Horizon 2.0.4+ support, which is not released yet) this is the change log at the oculus 1.20.1
majo24
majo244mo ago
Yea, and?
Paul
Paul4mo ago
so it cant run 1.20.6
majo24
majo244mo ago
No, the file is made for 1.20.1, so it won't work on 1.20.6
Paul
Paul4mo ago
ok'
majo24
majo244mo ago
If you want to have shaders, you'll have to either - switch to 1.20.1 - switch to fabric
Paul
Paul4mo ago
ok i need neo forge for 1.20.1 now and on the website its 1.20.2 at the bottom of the versions bar
majo24
majo244mo ago
Neoforge doesn't have a version for 1.20.1, so either switch to forge 1.20.1 or stay at 1.20.6 but with fabric
Paul
Paul4mo ago
what do you recommend?
majo24
majo244mo ago
I would recommend using fabric and staying at 1.20.6
Paul
Paul4mo ago
ok how do i do that? :))
majo24
majo244mo ago
Get the Fabric Installer and install fabric using it Next, remove the Embeddium mod from your mods folder And then install Sodium, Iris and Indium
Paul
Paul4mo ago
intto tthe mods folder?
majo24
majo244mo ago
Yea, you put every mod into the mods folder
Paul
Paul4mo ago
ok and i should delete oculus how do i run fabric
