So, I am new to Mods and I wanted Shaders. But for Shaders, I needed Forge. I downloaded the files, but I don't know what to do from here. I have looked through all the folders, but I can't find a .exe file or anything to actually start installing Forge. How do I get it to work?

Download the Forge installer from https://files.minecraftforge.net/, it is a runnable jar file. If you have Java installed properly, you can just double click it.

So, I reinstalled Java, but it still won't let me do anything.

This tells us nothing.

What exactly did you download? What exactly are you trying to run? What exactly is happening? What do you mean by "won't let me do anything"?

I am downloading the Installer for Forge. And when I am doing the download, yes, it comes up as a .jar file. However, I can't click on it. It won't let me run it as Administrator or anything of that sort. I have Java. I reinstalled it just in case. However, I can't the run .jar file as Administrator.

Do not run the jar file as Administrator, nobody told you to do that.

Please clarify what you mean by "can't click on it", because I doubt your mouse button gets physically blocked as soon as you point your cursor at the file.

What I mean by that is that whenever I click it, it will try to pull up in Internet Explorer, but it won't pull up anything else. I can't do anything in Internet Explorer, it just shows me all of my downloads.

Great. Thank you for actually describing your problem instead of saying "it doesn't work".

 

Run Jarfix.

Sorry about that, it took me a bit to figure out how to explain it.

      You were asked to post the full name of whatever file you deleted. There are likely to be many files with similar names and we want to be sure you didn't delete the wrong one due to confusion.

      Forge is a "blank file" after installing

      By DaemonUmbra · Posted 19 minutes ago

      Quick reminder to ONLY get Forge from the Forge Files page and only get mods from CurseForge or the mod developer's own site.

      Well, then I have no idea either. I didn't even do much with Forge repos recently, my last comment was on ForgeGradle a couple months ago, and there wasn't anything offensive there or something. Are there someone specific I could contact on this case?

      In poking around my guess is that you were added as a blocked user.   Why? Don't know.
