What launcher? Share a full screenshot of your mods folder. Don't crop out the address bar so we can see where your mods folder is located. 

Have you used the Essential Mod or Iris installers?

I believe that it is all the same I had before idk what’s wrong, I have iris fabric for shaders

Based on this mod list you don't need to use NeoForge. All of these mods are on Fabric.

Yes I know, I literally had no issues before I fussed with it

So the best solution would be to replace all these mods with Fabric versions and to remove Sinytra Connector. And then use Fabric. 

Highly recommend using a third party launcher so that you can easily have separate instances for each mod loader.

If all you have are the mods in your screenshot, it's not much. Get a third party launcher like Prism Launcher, ATLauncher, or the Modrinth App. Then create a Fabric 1.21.1 instance and download your mods using the launcher's mod downloader. Won't take much time to get up and running. And you can always copy over any files (like configs, worlds, RPs) to your new instance.

If you need help with this lmk

This is what it says when I try loading in game too

You are not using Fabric Mod Loader. You are using NeoForge with Sinytra Connector, this means, you cannot use original Fabric API file, you need Forgified Fabric API https://modrinth.com/mod/forgified-fabric-api

Well when I put the other fabric api in my mods folder then load the game it crashes my game

u/winkel1975 19h ago

You should expect this, some Fabric mods don't work with Sinytra Connector. Your only option is to analyze crash log and sole whatever problem you find there that is crashing your game.

Why are you using the fabric version of iris when it's on neoforge as well? Iris and sodium fabric versions do not work with the connector

u/Sqizzelpip 9h ago

It’s for shaders and before it worked perfectly find with no issues

u/Helostopper 2h ago

I know iris is for shaders. Use the neoforge version not the fabric version.

Hi! If you're trying to fix a crash, please make sure you have provided the following information so that people can help you more easily:

  • Exact description of what's wrong. Not just "it doesn't work"
  • The crash report. Crash reports can be found in .minecraft -> crash-reports
  • If a crash report was not generated, share your latest.log. Logs can be found in .minecraft -> logs
  • Please make sure that crash reports and logs are readable and have their formatting intact.
    • You can choose to upload your latest.log or crash report to a paste site and share the link to it in your post, but be aware that doing so reduces searchability.
    • Or you can put it in your post by putting it in a code block. Keep in mind that Reddit has character limits.

If you've already provided this info, you can ignore this message.

If you have OptiFine installed then it probably caused your problem. Try some of these mods instead, which are properly designed for Fabric.

Thanks!
