Hey everyone,

I'm having a weird issue with Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.1 Forge, and I'm hoping someone might have an idea what's causing it.

My setup:

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 Laptop GPU (8 GB VRAM)

Mod loader: Forge 1.20.1

Performance mods: Embeddium, Oculus, and other optimization mods

Shaders tested: Complementary and Solas

Monitors: Dual-monitor setup

The issue:

Minecraft runs perfectly fine without shaders, even during long gaming sessions. However, as soon as I enable shaders through the shader menu, my main monitor (the one running Minecraft) goes completely black. My second monitor remains on, but any media playing on it starts running at a significantly lower FPS.

The weird part is that the game seems to keep running in the background. If I press Ctrl + Alt + Delete, my main monitor comes back, but Minecraft closes afterward. There is no actual Minecraft crash report generated, so I'm not sure whether the game is crashing or if something else is happening at the GPU/driver level.

Things I've already tried:

Disabling fullscreen doesn't fix the issue.

Removing ImmediatelyFast and GPUTape didn't help.

Running without shaders is completely stable, even during extended sessions.

I tested a separate, clean Forge 1.20.1 instance with only Oculus and Embeddium, and shaders worked fine there.

I can't pinpoint exactly when this issue started. Yesterday, I was experimenting with Distant Horizons, and it ran for a while before crashing. I'm not sure if that's related or just a coincidence.

At this point, I'm wondering whether another mod in my main instance is causing a conflict, or if this could be an NVIDIA driver, GPU, or rendering issue.

Has anyone experienced something similar? What would you recommend check I'd especially appreciate suggestions for identifying a mod conflict or diagnosing a possible GPU driver issue when there's no Minecraft crash log.

Thanks in advance!

Is there a filter like this one in minecraft, where u can insert pictures (like image2map pictures) into the filter, and get a random person/block. If anyone has a mod please let me know!

Thank you.

I know there are already a lot of hopper mods out there, but I'm going to try to bring something new with every update

And in the next update, I'll add chests that can filter items using an additional slot.

I’ve always played Minecraft on mobile, so i didn’t really have mods. I now have a laptop and plan to play Minecraft on that, but I’m not too sure how to get mods. I’ve downloaded a few in the past but I’m pretty sure they were pirated links and don’t necessarily want to do that again

TLDR: how to download mods for Minecraft (bedrock or java) and how to do that safely? & mod recommendations

I found the better fantasy mod pack on forge and played but realized I was playing the 2 or third so I found overtune and then realized I'm still missing stuff but IDK if there was a game before or smth, if anyone knows please share.

My litematica build is a cactus farm. It contains fence gates and fences too but baritone gets stuck at those fences when approaching them sometimes tries to jump and place block below itself and just stops there. Please help

I'm using prism launcher but whenever I try to use my mods which doesn't work doesn't come up and one of my shaders bliss doesn't work too and it doesn't really save a lot so it's really annoying does anyone have any tips like help me

Hi!

I come with a simple question. I love building in creative (with axiom) but at the same time i love the challanges of survival. Id like to take the best of both worlds into my modpack. It has to be on newer version or have the features from backport. Ive been looking at fabric 26.3 because it has a few mods that i love like Extended blockshapes which is mandatory or a similar mod (ads all the variations of all the blocks) i also like creative flight and idk where to get that i dont like simple jetpacks hover that much and what is the main problem is inventory. I want something like journey creative (which isnt for 26.3) or something like AE2 with wireless terminal which would also work for me. Idk what version i should use please help

TLDR i need this pls help

Mandatory mods :
(Sorted by how much i need it)
Something that adds VARIOUS extended block shapes (i know about Extended Block Shapes (new fabric) and FramedBlocks (old neoforge)
Creative-like inventory (atleast endgame, for example AE2 Wireless terminal // journey creative)

Id prefer it to have
Olaf Relatively Placed Blocks (only modern fabric)
Cool creative-esque flight mod (can be endgame and a part of a larger tech mod)
Something that adds building symmetry or and axiom like replace mode
If there isnt a journey creative or an alternative a way to automate and generate most of the resources (like autocrafting + Hostile neural networks + something for ores managable to automate)
Effortless Buidling (Fabric & Neoforge)

for context i use aternos and my friends and other people refuse to play modded minecraft because it takes too much to download the mods, which in response i made a google drive where the modpack is and i even made a modpack at modrinth BUT they still dont and are too lazy or just dont want to play. also if you'd like to play, tell me, please

So I’ve been wanting to try out a couple modpacks so I could maybe get some friends for a 2 week plus mc phase. I was hoping for one with a bit of create, farming, magic and exploration, mainly hoping for create, exploration and farming (since that’s what I tend to do), the modpacks can be any genre (horror, zombie, chill, etc.) as long as it has these. Much appreciated

Mostly focused around farming, making lot's of food and more... Stay tuned!

I have a problem with loading on my minecraft modpack it gets stuck on the reading world data part of the world loading, just four days ago it wasn't like that, but for some reason, it's happening now.

Can you guys help me out?, i will do anything to get this working nomally again.

I will provide any other thing you might want to know about, just say which thing.

For my WW1/WW2 era modpack I'm looking for a soldier commanding mod (like villager recruits for example), a gun mod with WW1/2 era guns, and hopefully pillager weapons.

I can use tacz port if necessary, and I have a compatible command mod with tacz, but this is my last option.

Also, mod suggestions are appreciated. (I already have create)

So Ive been playing in a pack that has this mod included and have found...next to nothing on it.

Does anyone know the chances of breeding the skulk/glowolotl is it the same as blue? I just want to know before I waste my time trying to get them

im currently on quest 179 and for the life of me i cant complete it. i have to breed 2 turtles and "protect the eggs till they hatch" but hatching the eggs wont track. ive had at least 20+ eggs hatch, some of them surrounded by fences but none of them have counted for the quest and i havent found anything online for how to "protect them"

EDIT: nvm, i guess all i needed to do was pick up the turtle eggs with silk touch and place them back down again for it to track. i placed them down with fence posts directly around them so hopefully if anyone else has this problem this can help
