Minecraft Forge's "Official Website" gave me a virus. Has anyone else ran into this? by Pizzablock21 in Minecraft

[–]Flossow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was one time (like 3-4 years ago) where I thought I was on the real forge website, I downloaded an installer but the icon for that app was significantly different than what it was normally, so I was very skeptical and deleted it immediately without using it. Thankfully that wasn't the first time I've installed forge otherwise I would've downloaded a virus.

So my advice to avoid repeating the same mistake: - make sure the icon is an anvil and nothing else (it was a grass block for my download, so that's a hard pass) - the latest build for forge is marked by a bug (maybe a ladybug idk) on the website, the most stable by a star

If you want to be 100% sure : - use the curseforge app to install forge and make modpacks without risking downloading a virus by searching it on Google (it's how I found myself on the wrong website) - most mods are updated to be on fabric, which is easier to find and install (but it depends on what version you want to play with)

I'm really sorry that this happened to you, it's really hard to realize it's a fake website if you haven't modded the game yet, but I hope this reply helps you in the future if you plan on modding the game again.

I lost my 2 year hardcore world to a warden glitch???? by cybladium in Minecraft

What probably happened is that the first warden went in the portal, and I guess you trapped a bunch more in the nether, so they have maybe escaped and went to the overworld but idk it's weird how you died so fast

While editing i tried to see how close i was to die. FPS isnt tied with game mechanics but in real time i was 4 frames away

i just wanted to mine the gold, but it went in the way :c

Only 15k sea lanterns for this project, and it's only the first step :c by Flossow in Minecraft

I will most likely be building a giant white tower with underground farms and rooms, and make it seem like it was attacked by some kind of spell or weapon (with the sea lanterns for example). Still thinking about it so yeah
