Is that the file you got from the website? Downloading is not installing. You should download the installer. Also what site are you getting Forge from? please provide a URL.

What do you mean it gave you a java file? Please provide screenshots of the installer and the file it gave you.

User was banned for using a cracked launcher. Buy the game.

Please provide your installer log, it will have the same name as the installer but with .log on the end: Installer: forge-{version}-installer.jar Log: forge-{version}-installer.jar.log

Those are not logs, provide logs.

What's the difference?

What launcher are you using? Please provide a screenshot.

It's a patch that gets applied to allow for more than just sheep to be counted as "shearable", unfortunately some values got crossed and the shearing tool was dropped instead of the drops.

Forge installs itself as a version of Minecraft, I am assuming you are looking at Profiles/Installations rather than versions here. Try making a new Profile/Installation and opening the versions dropdown.

Extra Anvils is broken, update to the latest version, if you are using the latest version report it to the author.
