Why are you attempting to open a mod jar with safari?

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.

Wait, what exact steps are you taking?

Is this a situation where you downloaded a file and the browser prompts you to open or save it and you're selecting "open"?

First of all, yes I have gotten a JDK (the newest) and a JRE. I don't know how to fix this. I've skimmed the entire internet HELP PLEASE! I downloaded / am trying to download the twilight forest mod here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/the-twilight-forest/download but it will say "Safari is not allowed to open Java Jar files". I've searched everywhere and I've already asked this before, but no-one seems to know how to fix it. I've used Fire-fox as-well but it'll say "Firefox is not allowed to open Java Jar files". Please help!

I wanted to get a mod so I downloaded Twilight Forest, it said: “twilightforest-1.12.2-3.9.984-universal (3).jar” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. I said "Open Anyway" in system preferences in security (I have a MacBook Air) and then it said: ”twilightforest-1.12.2-3.9.984-universal (3).jar” cannot be opened because Google Chrome is not allowed to open Java JAR files. After I checked the console error.

So you have the Jar file download onto your computer? Good just move it into the .minecraft/mods folder and launch forge.

If you don't have forge installed you need to install it. You will need to download it from here. It will be a jar file you will need to run it with the javaw application. If it doesn't give you this option and you don't want to find it in your program files folders you can instead just download and run this as long as you do have Java installed.

Forge and vanilla BlockState generator.

Don't make duplicate threads

It sounds like you're telling Chrome to run the file instead of saving it, this is not what you want.
