Forge not working

[brady32]

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?

What's a debug.log. ?

[warjort]

Read the sticky post at the top of this forum.

[Luis_ST]

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

[brady32]

I'm on Mac, how would I do this on Mac?

[brady32]

I have no idea how to do it though.

[warjort]

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.

[brady32]

How do I get to the logs folder? I don't have one.

[warjort]

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.

[brady32]

I'm so confused, I don't have a logs folder? And I don't have a gear icon.

Which launcher are you using?

[brady32]

Safari, im on Mac. I don't use chrome.

 

[warjort]

Which minecraft launcher: e.g. vanilla minecraft, curseforge, multimc

The program you use to run minecraft.

Safari is your web browser.

[brady32]

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

[warjort]

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?

[brady32]

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.

[warjort]

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

[brady32]

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

 

[warjort]

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

 

[brady32]

I have no idea what your are talking about, I am so confused.

 

[warjort]

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

[brady32]

I've been reinstalling forge for the past day, I dont think doing it now will change anything.

[warjort]

Is this a troll?

[brady32]

Nope, it's not. Im super confused or ive jacked up my forge.

[brady32]

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.
