So I have tried to get this thing to work for hours. I have made sure that my JRE and JDK are up to date and installed on my computer. I've made sure ive run the version of minecraft at least once. I've made sure when trying to run the file with another program that the SE Binary was selected. What is the issue? why won't it run?

Try running it from the command line, what does it say?

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.

Spoiler

 

 

 

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.

Are you running MultiMC or the default launcher?  If you're running the default launcher, try seeing if the installer actually set up 1.13.2 Forge already and has a profile called "forge" on the MC version drop down menu for creating a new profile with 1.13.2-forge-25.0.107 as the jar.

 

MultiMC doesn't play nicely with the recoded Forge right now.

If you have to put a disclaimer in your signature claiming you were being nice in your posts chances are you weren't actually being nice and were likely being rather rude.  Next time, actually be nice.

I'm not really sure how to do that.

Ah, I see the problem.  You need to download the installer, not the launcher.  That will install 1.13.2 Forge so you can set up a new configuration for it.

 

Right click the .jar file, and select "Open with" and find your javaw.exe executable to run the file.

 

I don't know what the launcher is for, I just used the installer.

Well heck, seems that was the problem. Forge is installed and is working fine now- Thanks everyone!

Ahem, I am having the same issue here for hours and did as above.  I use Win10, and java 1.8_201 JDK.  I get as far as it ask if its okay to run the programs, dings the nothing.  I clicked with javaw; then tried javaws and last just java.  I have my favorite mods ready for 13 and been browsing here for help and those prior advice in trying to use MMC but I don't where the stuff goes as seems that everyone knows how too.

If Forge 1.13 gets the use of easier install downloads like prior ones.  I all for it but still like to try the newer stuff.  

Thank you for all the help.  Itty

Even if you think you have the same issue please don not hijack threads, if you have an issue please make your own thread.
