SOMEBODY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

After downloading forge, I have been getting the Black Screen Of Death. Before anyone asks, yes, I have deleted META INF, I have deleted .Minecraft, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game. I've been trying to get this to work for 2 days now. Any ideas?

I have watched many tutorials that say that META-INF blocks some mods from being able to be played.

What version are you even playing?

[Brad Is Romantic]

1.12

I think you've been watching videos from about 6 or 7 years ago  

 

Modding's come a looong way, Delete your .minecraft folder, uninstall minecraft launcher from your program file. then you should be able to start from scratch.

 

Install minecraft then go to files.minecraftforge.net and get the version you want to play on.... download the INSTALLER

 

run the installer and follow the instructions it show's you. it's that simple now

you might need to download and play on minecraft 1.12 before you can install forge 1.12

What's the difference between a Jar and an EXE?

I have played on 1.12 before attempting to download and install forge.

A JAR file is an archive (collection) of classes that java can run... It only runs in JAVA

 

An EXE file is a windows executable, It runs in windows without the need of java

You screwed up the installation. The minecraft Forge installer needs an existing version of minecraft 1.12 before it can install. If you have deleted the .minecraft folder there won't be any versions of 1.12.

 

try what I suggested, delete .minecraft and uninstall the Minecraft launcher. then start from scratch

 

If you want to use a video get one that's less than 2 years old

That's because installing forge is as follows:

1) Download installer

2) Run installer

[jamiemac262]

there are still videos out there... although most tutorials are text based now
