I'm super super sorry for posting a non-supported version of forge on here but I've been researching this for 5 days to no avail! I'm really really desperate and any help is needed. It also took my 7 hours to set up this Forge thing on my computer, and I really don't want to deal with another 7 hours of errors which is why I I'm trying to avoid updating. When I finally got it to work with 1.8.9 I was really happy but I don't want to repeat that hell again. Thanks for the help! ALSO! IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR DAYS NOW. And if you think I'm exaggerating about the 7 hours, I'm not lol... my parents came into my room and said "are you alive"? I was up until 1 AM... I was getting gradle errors, java errors, java vm errors, -Xmx256 errors, environment errors, eclipse errors, and I hadn't even started making the mod yet! It just wasn't setting up correctly.... things just kept going wrong. Anyways, it worked!!! thank you so much for helping me! Also acknowledging your description to your forge profile (I think that's a description or a bio? something like that), the fact that you helped me proves that you aren't a jerk. And people who do call you a jerk are just being ungrateful. Trust me, I know. I am an official "Helper" and an "Expert" on the Java discord server, and some people are just complete asses. I will try to walk them through a problem and then they yell at me and say I'm treating them as morons. and I ESPECIALLY agree with you on the statement "If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU". There are lots of people who just ping me and ask me to do their assignment for them.
