Whats the correct version of sponge?

I cant find the correct version fro forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2824 for the tekxit 3 server, for me it doesn’t exist? or am i blind? (forge version: 2824)

The forge version does not usually need to match up exactly, a few builds either way tends to be fine (though we can’t guarantee it). We won’t build against every forge build!

Try recommended build 7.1.6 from SpongeDownloads (it’s at the top), that’s only one build out and, looking at the change between 2824 and 2825, it shouldn’t pose a problem.

SpongeForge version is different than expected!

this is why i assumed that it was the wrong version or something like that.
should it try in the other direction going down to forge 2768
or upgrade forge to 2825 then try but that may mess up the mods or something I’ve also tried this but was unsuccessful.

The error message is telling you exactly what is going on.

Run your pack with Forge 2838 and use the latest SpongeForge build. If that fails, either remove LagGoggles or use 1.12.2-2838-7.1.7-RC3830.
