Missing minecraft resource

[javierbentez]

Hi! I'm getting this error when I run forge 1.16.5. How can I fix it?

I fix it deleting the forge libraries folder under .minecraft

[mindstorm38]

This is still an issue on my side, I really need to make more validation because most users are going to think that it's inherently a launcher issue.

[javierbentez]

Probably yes, I think the best way is to check if the library files are already in the right folder or not, but I don't know what the exact problem was so I cannot help you more😅🙏🏼

[mindstorm38]

No problem, I just need to check that all libraries are existing, it's annoying tho because it's redundant with the common code.
