Use a file for forge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.5, 1.21.4, 1.21.3. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
