Well unfortunately I don't see anything in the logs. The only time I've ever had any issues while loading like that is if I moved/resized the window while it was loading, and I've never had all the buttons have squares like that. Sorry I can't be more help, hopefully someone else will see and have some insight!

I'm sorry, I've run out of ideas, I don't know what the problem could be. Hopefully someone else sees this and might know how to help!

Ok, was the minecraft launcher open when you ran the forge installer? I believe it must be closed when you install forge.

Is it at the bottom?

No worries. Open the minecraft launcher, and at the top there should be something that says Installations. Show me a screenshot after you click Installations, or if you don't see it, show a launcher screenshot.

Ok, you do not need the forge universal, I'm not sure why you keep trying to run that. Delete that file. Then go to https://files.minecraftforge.net and download the Installer. Then run this from the commandline: java -jar /Users/leandrocaruso/Downloads/forge-1.15.2-31.1.0-installer.jar That should give you the installer screen so you can install forge. If that works without an error, then you just open the normal Minecraft launcher to use it. It will either create a forge Installation for you, or you will need to manually create one by clicking at the top of the launcher where it says "Installations".

Ok, show me a screenshot of the folder where you have the installer. Also show me a screenshot or copy/paste of the terminal where you are trying to run the installer.

What are you doing that makes that appear?

Why are you trying to run that? Did the installer run? After the installer runs, you just open the minecraft launcher, and if there is no forge installation created in there for you, you make one from the installations screen

Instead of /path/to/forgeinstaller.jar you need to put the actual path and filename of the forge installer jar on your system. It looks like it is probably /Users/leandrocaruso/Downloads/forge-1.15.2-31.1.0-installer.jar

I'm guessing you accidentally downloaded it from the forge site while trying to get this working. Download the installer, and run it from the commandline using java -jar /path/to/where/you/downloaded/forgeinstaller.jar

You can try, just use spoiler tags (eyeball button in the toolbar when you're making a msg), but it might be too long.

debug.log has much more information, I would post that.

Use the installer, to be honest I am not even sure what the launcher is for lol.

The most recent one is not there, only the archive gzipped ones.

Are you clicking on the installer, or using java -jar /path/to/forgeinstaller.jar ? And also, you probably want the installer download from the forge website, not the launcher.

Is that when you try running minecraft with forge from the launcher?

When you post the link to your debug.log, post a link to your github as well

Please post your debug.log, and also it would be helpful if your code were posted as a github repository, it is much easier to read there, plus if someone wants to debug it they can clone/download it and build it

Minecraft comes with a bundled Java 8 JRE it uses I'm not 100% sure to be honest, but I don't think you need it for running minecraft with forge, however I would keep it so that if you need to run the installer for another version of forge (the Nether update is coming to vanilla!) you will have it.

You definitely need java installed to run the installer. It can be a JRE, you don't need the JDK unless you are writing mods. *edit: evidently it looks like the openjdk comes as a whole bundle, not separate jre/jdk lol. Make sure you get java 8 hotspot. https://adoptopenjdk.net

That likely means that .jar files are not associated with java on your mac. I don't use a mac, so I do not know how to fix it, but you should be able to put "java -jar " in front of what you have to run it.

Did you check the optifine changelog to make sure you're using the version of forge compatible with the version of optifine you're using? That'd be the first thing I check!

I would try updating botania *edit: the reason I would is this line: and also comparing the date of botania vs the release date of the version of forge you are using.

That's the same error you had before. You need to figure out what version of java you have.
