Version 1.16.4 - mods not working
Sun, 01/10/2021 - 17:45 (edited)

 

I’m running Forge, Minecraft and MCreator on an old laptop (windows 7, 64 bit)

I spent the day with my 8 year old twin boys creating our first mods.

We were able to create blocks and items.

We created new ore blocks that smelt into new ignots and even new swords crafted from the ignots.

When I press the green triangle/arrow and demo the mods, all of the mods work within MCreator, and it seems to open the 1.15.2 java version of Minecraft.

So, I exported the mods, they saved as .jar files in the Mod folder in my Minecraft folders.

 

But when I started Minecraft 1.16.4 in ‘1.16.4 Forge mode’ it gave me an error screen that said...

 

Mod requires Minecraft 1.15.2

Currently Minecraft is 1.16.4

 

Can anything be done?

Will the mods we created only work in the MCreator ‘green arrow’ demo platform (Minecraft 1.15.2)

For making a 1.16 mod you'd have to be using the snapshot version of MCreator 2020.6/2021.1.

 

Use forge 1.15.2 for your mod to be able to run it without switching MCreator versions.

Snapshot? Is this a different program?

No. Use forge 1.15.2 for your mod to be able to run outside of MCreator.

 

You literally described the reason it wasn't working:

Mod requires Minecraft 1.15.2

You can't use another Minecraft version and expect it to work with a mod for 1.15.2.
