I have installed forge 1.17.1 onto my mojang launcher, loaded it up, put in a few mods, Optifine, Useful backpacks, etc.made a world and added a few dtatapacks. Optifine as well as most of the mods and all the datapacks work fine but, I tried to add Antique atlas to use as my world map, but after putting it into the mods folder it did not show up in my mods list.I have reloaded ingame, removed and put it back in, reloaded the game, made sure everything was 1.17.1 and a .jar, but still can't find the problem.
Before I start this post, I've had a look at the Curseforge page and it needs to be installed on both client and server sides for it to work. It also requires Cloth Config API (Fabric) and Fabric API. I'm guessing as a result this is a mod for Fabric and not Forge.
Besides this, there are a couple of things to do in order to prevent some problems;
Get the mod/shader from a trusted site such as Curseforge or the homepage of the developer.
Read the mod's main page, as that can sometimes shed light on compatibility errors and other things.
Ensure you are not missing any files that could mean that the mod doesn't function.
Hope this helps. If it doesn't, I can try and help out as best as I can.
Just to note, you did mention that you are using Forge; Fabric mods do not work on Forge, so that could also be the reason. I'd say check for a Forge version or look for an alternative.

Anyone have any ideas?

Make sure you are using the forge version:
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/antique-atlas/files/3525008
As mentioned above, you will need Cloth - also add the forge build:
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/cloth-config-forge/files/3559637
If it is still not working, ass the latest.log from your logs-folder - use sites like https://paste.ee/ to add the log
Its just crashing now
I had used the fabric version, though it wont work with the forge either, Ill probably just use an alternative.
At least now I know that fabric and forge are different, Thank you
If you have further issues you also can add the new crash-report
