When I try and run forge my Minecraft it crashes and says I have a invalid java runtime. I have installed biomes o plenty (1.19) On forge. I have the  correct java downloaded and have been watching videos and reading articles for the past hour telling me all the same stuff, redownloading forge and java and it never works. Can somebody please help me to get my forge to work?

    If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.

    If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install

    it's a file generated by the game, you find it in the logs folder of your game directory
    if you using CurseForge you need to enable the debug.log in the settings

  • Quote

    On the main curseforge screen click the "gear" icon - bottom left of the screen. It should say "settings" when you hold your mouse over it.

    Click minecraft.

    Turn on the "Enable Forge debug.log" in the advanced section.

    In curseforge click on your modpack.

    In its main screen, next to the play button you will see three vertical dots.

    Click it and select "open folder", you will have a logs folder in there if you have run your modpack before.

    I regularly launch it with vanilla but I'm trying to start it with forge and its not working.

  • Quote

    Now I am confused, forge won't run by itself. You need a launcher.

    Are you using the vanilla launcher? How did you install forge?

    If your talking about the regular Minecraft launcher then yes that one. And I installed forge by searching Download Forge, downloaded the 1.19 version, clicked my downloads drop down, clicking forge and opening it, clicking on install server, and all these codes and stuff pops up, and then it just downloads.

    When you clicked "install server" you chose a folder for the server. The logs folder is inside that folder.

    In my logs folder I have.

    A assistant folder

    A baseboard folder

    A com.apple.AMPLibraryAgent folder

    A DiagnosticReports folder

    A Roblox folder 

    And a SMSMigrator folder

    That is not the forge server folder you chose. You are looking at an operating system folder.

    The forge server folder should have the following contents:

    Quote

    banned-ips.json      defaultconfigs  logs      run.bat            user_jvm_args.txt   whitelist.json
    banned-players.json  eula.txt        mods      run.sh             usercache.json      world
    config               libraries       ops.json  server.properties  usernamecache.json

    I suggest you reinstall forge again. This time remember where you installed it.

    I've watched video after video and read so many articles to try and fix my forge and it just won't work. My Optifine won't either.
