Why is Minecraft suddnely ignoring my mods?

November 27, 2016 12:50 AM

I am playing Minecraft 1.10.2 with Forge installed and a handful of mods. Everything was working well until yesterday when suddenly the mods appeared to be broken and/or missing. Googling has brought up a possible issue with Java 8 (and indeed, this all went wrong after I updated Java), but I do not understand the suggested fixes posted online. Can someone please patiently and in simple steps explain how I fix this mess? My skill level is slightly above Potato.

Possibly relevant info:

Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit
Minecraft 1.10.2
Forge 1.10

Mods:
Worldedit 1.10.2
Vein Miner 0.34.1
Biomes of Plenty 1.9.4
Mo' Villages 1.9.4

Have you tried installing a legacy version of Java 7? That's what we had to do when I ran the school's MinecraftEDU server.

On my phone so it's not pretty, but here's a site with links: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html

Response by poster: So, I've just installed Java 7, and there appears to be no difference. I've checked to see that I don't have any other version of Java installed (and I don't) and I've restarted, just in case. No dice - everything still missing.
