I am trying to download forge for linux. Using the installer, it WORKS but forge crashes the second I start minecraft. Since it is linux I figured i needed either the universal or source folder, both files say; no main manifest attribute when I try to run it though. I have already tried running with admin as well as running it with java-8 since I read somewhere forge uses older versions of java.

Where are you getting Forge from and how are you trying to install it?

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 got it directly from forge's website. I tried installing it with java -jar but im thinking the universal/source files are not meant to be installed that way. Currently getting multimc and going to try adding in forge with that

I'm always suspicious when people say "The official site" or something like that, because often they have been fooled by a pretender.

Please provide a URL

Ok, and you went for universal instead of installer, why?

I am using linux and when running forge with the installer, (it installed fine) But when starting it in the client it would crash stating; An unexpected issue occurred and the game has crashed. We’re sorry for the inconvenience. I tried both the newest and recommended version both the same problem. Figured it was because the installer was for windows only.

The installer works for every system, a crash at runtime does not necessarily mean the installation went wrong.

Please provide the debug.log from the server's logs folder

You need to use Java 8, 9, or 10 with Forge.

To support 11 Forge would need to drop support for 8 (due to a core library doing so) which can't be done because 8 is what Mojang ships with the game.

I have it working now with multiMC, although if you would like later I could try it again and give you the log for debugging. I have been messing around with it for a good 2 hours though so I am going to take a break and actually enjoy the game
