Posted January 5, 20223 yr So I've been wanting to use forge 1.18 for certain mods that help me a lot with minecraft. I've never had a problem installing past clients until this update. I do what I do as usual, download the file, open it, click install client on Minecraft. It runs as usual but then says that it couldn't install certain files and then closes out. I'm not sure what to do anymore. I've deleted and reinstalled Minecraft, deleted all past forge downloads, removed past mods but it nothing works. Here's the log \/\/\/\/\/ JVM info: Oracle Corporation - 16.0.2 - 16.0.2+7-67 java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true Found java version 16.0.2 javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target at java.base/sun.security.ssl.Alert.createSSLException(Alert.java:131) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.TransportContext.fatal(TransportContext.java:369) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.TransportContext.fatal(TransportContext.java:312) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.TransportContext.fatal(TransportContext.java:307) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.CertificateMessage$T13CertificateConsumer.checkServerCerts(CertificateMessage.java:1357) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.CertificateMessage$T13CertificateConsumer.onConsumeCertificate(CertificateMessage.java:1232) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.CertificateMessage$T13CertificateConsumer.consume(CertificateMessage.java:1175) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.SSLHandshake.consume(SSLHandshake.java:396) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.HandshakeContext.dispatch(HandshakeContext.java:480) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.HandshakeContext.dispatch(HandshakeContext.java:458) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.TransportContext.dispatch(TransportContext.java:199) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.SSLTransport.decode(SSLTransport.java:172) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.decode(SSLSocketImpl.java:1506) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.readHandshakeRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:1416) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.startHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:451) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.startHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:422) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsClient.afterConnect(HttpsClient.java:574) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.https.AbstractDelegateHttpsURLConnection.connect(AbstractDelegateHttpsURLConnection.java:183) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream0(HttpURLConnection.java:1653) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:1577) at java.base/java.net.HttpURLConnection.getResponseCode(HttpURLConnection.java:527) at java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionImpl.getResponseCode(HttpsURLConnectionImpl.java:308) at net.minecraftforge.installer.DownloadUtils.getConnection(DownloadUtils.java:243) at net.minecraftforge.installer.DownloadUtils.downloadMirrors(DownloadUtils.java:293) at net.minecraftforge.installer.json.Install.getMirror(Install.java:117) at net.minecraftforge.installer.InstallerPanel.updateFilePath(InstallerPanel.java:369) at net.minecraftforge.installer.InstallerPanel.<init>(InstallerPanel.java:350) at net.minecraftforge.installer.SimpleInstaller.launchGui(SimpleInstaller.java:174) at net.minecraftforge.installer.SimpleInstaller.main(SimpleInstaller.java:147) Caused by: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target at java.base/sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.doBuild(PKIXValidator.java:439) at java.base/sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.engineValidate(PKIXValidator.java:306) at java.base/sun.security.validator.Validator.validate(Validator.java:264) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.X509TrustManagerImpl.checkTrusted(X509TrustManagerImpl.java:231) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.X509TrustManagerImpl.checkServerTrusted(X509TrustManagerImpl.java:132) at java.base/sun.security.ssl.CertificateMessage$T13CertificateConsumer.checkServerCerts(CertificateMessage.java:1341) ... 24 more Caused by: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target at java.base/sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilder.build(SunCertPathBuilder.java:141) at java.base/sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilder.engineBuild(SunCertPathBuilder.java:126) at java.base/java.security.cert.CertPathBuilder.build(CertPathBuilder.java:297) at java.base/sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.doBuild(PKIXValidator.java:434) ... 29 more
