I can confirm I have this issue as well. Wont load for me at all.

I don't want to report a bug because i don't see any work done ont the oculus code page like showing something done few hours ago or 1 days ago.
I compare it to embendium where you can follow the time
Add a system property to allow disabling the render layer cache | 3 hours ago
There is nothing about oculus-mc1.20.1-1.6.13a version.. The last work has been done the last week for the version 13. So becarefull about this update.

So i wanted to check inside and see that mod.toml was different, i deleted the last part of it, 7z asked me if i want to record the changes, i click yes and this windows happened

It says it get a virus, windows defender open also a pop up to tell me the same.
So beware this "update", maybe the modrinth and curseforge are hacked but not the github : there is no info on last works at all on oculus.

Another windows if i want to delete the file : i can't

Update about the file i can't delete.
I went into windows defender protection settings and saw in authorized program that i have a keygen with low restriction
so i deleted it and now i can delete this "oculus update" to the trash.

Wow this took a turn for the worse. It's possible it wasn't pushed to github? Can someone confirm what @glea94 mentioned

I have the exact same issue, except when I downgrade oculus it also just won't work.

Downgrade to Embeddium 13 also.

that did not change anything it still does not work

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Same issue here, it lets me open the jar file and it says "This file is the Forge version of Oculus, meant to be installed as a mod. Would you like to get the Forge Installer instead? [Yes] [No]"

I seem to have found a fix.

1. open "oculus-mc1.20.1-1.6.13a.jar" with 7-zip
2. open the "META-INF" folder
3. drag the file "mods.toml" to desktop
4. open "mods.toml" from the desktop with notepad
5. delete
   [[dependencies.oculus]]
   modId = "embeddium"
   versionRange = "[0.2.14,)"
   ordering = "NONE"
   side = "CLIENT"
6. Save "mods.toml"
7. drag the new "mods.toml" into the open "oculus-mc1.20.1-1.6.13a.jar/META-INF" in 7-zip
8. say yes when it asks to copy files to archive

I dont have that dependency in my mods.toml, odd...

what are you even doing i have done this now on 4 diffrent PC's and never got windows defender to pop up maybe you have a virus some where els on your PC

2 pc are windows 10 the other 2 PC are windows 11

and yes deleting those lines fixes the problem of invalid mod jar something something

also clicking the oculus jar creates a pop up to asking/saying

This File is the Forge version of Oculus, meant to be installed as a mod. Would you like to get the Forge installer instead?

[ YES ] [ NO ]

maybe a good idea to also update java

you can get for what ever OS you are using here https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?variant=openjdk8&jvmVariant=hotspot&os=any&arch=x64&package=jdk&version=17

or you google java SE and get java from oracle website https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk17-windows

pretty sure there is also a version from amazon for java called krokete something something ( i do not recommend that as it seems to change stuff in the code and alot of minecraft mods dont work with it ) stick with adoptium temurin java or oracle java

if you are using the curseforge launcher (not my problem the launcher is shit)
if you are using the default minecraft launcher (same as above hate it)

recommend multiMC
or Prism Launcher (is a fork of multiMC with alot more functions)

also anyone els wanne test this just dubbel click the oculus-mc1.20.1-1.6.13a.jar
to see if you get a popup from windows defender

i can also just spin up all my vm's to test every windows 10 build and windows 11 build but i feel like its gone be pointless

then you must be doing it wrong as it does work

here is pic of how the file needs to look

and i don't know in what program you are editing the file but if its on and old notepad version of windows then there is good chance that is gone fuck up the file order
i recommend just using notepad++ for editing any config/txt file

Or just add mandatory = false in it:

modId = "embeddium"
mandatory = false
versionRange = "[0.2.14,)"
ordering = "NONE"
side = "CLIENT"

Get it from this commit.
