i keep getting the "The Java JAR file “forge-1.14.4-28.1.0-installer.jar” could not be launched. Check the Console for possible error messages." yahdah yadah yadah. Legitimately every single post/video I've seen if from like 6 years ago, and they are not helpful at all. I'm just trying to download this for Minecraft moding, but mac is a b and a half to work with. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

That's an old version, try a new one.

Beyond that try running it from terminal and tell us what it says

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 contacted the author of Sams Teach yourself Minecraft in 24 hours. Jimmy Koene.

he was kind of enough to reply.

 

Below worked for me on a 2011 MBP running OS X 10.11.5

 
Browse to https://files.minecraftforge.net/ and click on the button in the red square.

That should give you a .zip file which you should be able to open up. I've checked it on my pc and it contains the gradlew.bat file mentioned in the book.
 
Kind regards,

Well done on the broken image, @jgfarrell, and it sounds like you're talking about the MDK which is not what Junior needs.
