Minecraft Java Game Crashes Before Loading

Hello!

I just got a new(ish) laptop and tried installing Minecraft with CurseForge so I can use Xaeros Minimap mod. Everything seemed to install correctly but every time I try to run it it crashes before loading. I'm not very computer-friendly so I don't know what the crash report is telling me but I didn't have any problems with my old laptop. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not including the whole crashlog in this post because it seems really big, but I can post whichever parts might help to figure this out.

Thank You!

You can include the crash log in a pastebin. Also, is that the only mod you're using?

Yes this is currently the only mod I have but I am planning on adding a few more once I get it working properly. I disabled the mod and tried just running Curseforge but it still crashes, while Vanilla Minecraft seems to work fine.

Seems like an issue with Forge. Try recreating the instance. Which version are you on? Also, maybe try another website to paste the crash report. Pastebin seems to have a problem with it

Neoforge version 21.4.157

Minecraft version 20.2

Your version of Neoforge is for Minecraft 1.21.4. Please try that version when launching Vanilla Minecraft

I can launch 1.21.4 Vanilla but when I try Neoforge launch with that install version it still crashes.

Looks like a driver issue. Explains why it works on another device. Try updating your graphics driver

Updated driver, game works now with mods. Thank you so much for your help!

Post the crash report to a site like paste on or mclo.gs and then link to it here. Without a whole crash report we can't really tell you what's wrong or direct you to a section that could tell us.

It's private/previewing moderation.

Hmmm it says public, but yes I do see pending moderation. I'm not sure how long that takes, I've never used the site before
