how do I install forge manually on 1.8.9 I cannot run the installer or installer win this just started to happen before i used to do before. I manipulated Technic before to run mods but on another computer I cannot install technic and I want to play with my sister with minecraft flight simulator mod. java is not installed on that computer except for the java minecraft installs locally. and i do not want to install java on that computer because it is really expensive and I do not want viruses and this computer came with it and it is really cheap.

Nobody said that, it's just in diesieben07's bio.

What? Do you really think Java or Forge have security holes? If you install both from the correct location, you won't get any viruses. And do you actually think installing both of these will make someone hack you? Just install Java and Forge the normal way.

Don't PM me with questions. They will be ignored! Make a thread on the appropriate board for support.

 

1.12 -> 1.13 primer by williewillus.

 

1.7.10 and older versions of Minecraft are no longer supported due to it's age! Update to the latest version for support.

Setting up a Forge version manually takes a lot of steps and is more likely to cause problems than any possible security loophole that is unlikely to happen by simply running Forge's installer

If you REALLY don't want to install a normal JRE, then you can use the one bundled with the mojang launcher, just navigate to the runtime folder, then the bin folder.

And run our installer.jar with the java.exe in there.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

    I cant run any java files on my PC,how do i install forge manually on MC 1.15.2?

    Don't install Forge manually.

    Don't necropost.

    Make your own thread.

    This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

     

    As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

    The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

    If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

     

    For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

    Spoiler

    Logs (Most issues require logs to diagnose):

    Spoiler

    Please post logs using one of the following sites (Thank you Lumber Wizard for the list):

    https://gist.github.com/: 100MB Requires member (Free)

    https://pastebin.com/: 512KB as guest, 10MB as Pro ($$$)

    https://hastebin.com/: 400KB

    Do NOT use sites like Mediafire, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or a site that has a countdown before offering downloads.

     

    What to provide:

    ...for Crashes and Runtime issues:

    Minecraft 1.14.4 and newer:

    Post debug.log

    Older versions:

    Please update...

     

    ...for Installer Issues:

    Post your installer log, found in the same place you ran the installer

    This log will be called either installer.log or named the same as the installer but with .log on the end

    Note for Windows users:

    Windows hides file extensions by default so the installer may appear without the .jar extension then when the .log is added the log will appear with the .jar extension

     

    Where to get it:

    Mojang Launcher: When using the Mojang launcher debug.log is found in .minecraft\logs.

     

    Curse/Overwolf: If you are using the Curse Launcher, their configurations break Forge's log settings, fortunately there is an easier workaround than I originally thought, this works even with Curse's installation of the Minecraft launcher as long as it is not launched THROUGH Twitch:

    Spoiler
    1. Make sure you have the correct version of Forge installed (some packs are heavily dependent on one specific build of Forge)
    2. Make a launcher profile targeting this version of Forge.
    3. Set the launcher profile's GameDir property to the pack's instance folder (not the instances folder, the folder that has the pack's name on it).
    4. Now launch the pack through that profile and follow the "Mojang Launcher" instructions above.

    or alternately, 

     

    Fallback ("No logs are generated"):

    If you don't see logs generated in the usual place, provide the launcher_log.txt from .minecraft

     

    Server Not Starting:

    Spoiler

    If your server does not start or a command window appears and immediately goes away, run the jar manually and provide the output.

     

    Reporting Illegal/Inappropriate Adfocus Ads:

    Spoiler

    Get a screenshot of the URL bar or copy/paste the whole URL into a thread on the General Discussion board with a description of the Ad.

    Lex will need the Ad ID contained in that URL to report it to Adfocus' support team.

     

    Posting your mod as a GitHub Repo:

    Spoiler

    When you have an issue with your mod the most helpful thing you can do when asking for help is to provide your code to those helping you. The most convenient way to do this is via GitHub or another source control hub.

    When setting up a GitHub Repo it might seem easy to just upload everything, however this method has the potential for mistakes that could lead to trouble later on, it is recommended to use a Git client or to get comfortable with the Git command line. The following instructions will use the Git Command Line and as such they assume you already have it installed and that you have created a repository.

     

    1. Open a command prompt (CMD, Powershell, Terminal, etc).
    2. Navigate to the folder you extracted Forge’s MDK to (the one that had all the licenses in).
    3. Run the following commands:
      1. git init
      2. git remote add origin [Your Repository's URL]
        • In the case of GitHub it should look like: https://GitHub.com/[Your Username]/[Repo Name].git
      3. git fetch
      4. git checkout --track origin/master
      5. git stage *
      6. git commit -m "[Your commit message]"
      7. git push
    4. Navigate to GitHub and you should now see most of the files.
      • note that it is intentional that some are not synced with GitHub and this is done with the (hidden) .gitignore file that Forge’s MDK has provided (hence the strictness on which folder git init is run from)
    5. Now you can share your GitHub link with those who you are asking for help.

    [Workaround line, please ignore]
