I am looking for a way to download and install forge automatically.
I found this URL that describes all versions of the forge: http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/json
Yes, I can parse it with the help of Json, pull out the forge version from there, load the universal.jar, unpack it and get the version manifest out.
But is there really no way to make it easier? Do not do this chain to get all the libs that are required forge?

Please don't auto-DL Forge.

Ads are the main source of upkeep for the project and are what keep the servers running.

If you want to see the ads go away consider pledging to Lex's patreon (the only goal at this time is the removal of ads).

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.

I understand that this is the main income of the developer, but my application will be intended for narrow circles, in which everyone still uses MultiMC who also downloads forge directly.

In other words, we are not going to help you bypass the main source of income for this project.

Just download and install forge normally.

As for MultiMC. I don't like that they auto-install Forge without giving anything back, but they also didn't need their hand held to get it working.

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