I try to launch Minecraft with forge 1.16.3 (no mods installed yet) on a mac and I get this error:

What launcher are you using and how exactly did you install Forge?

[Foxes_Rule 0]

I downloaded the 1.16.3 - 34.1.42 from:

http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.16.3.html

Then I just opened the .Jar file and pressed install.

By "what launcher" what do you mean? I use the normal Minecraft: Java Edition if that's what you mean.

Show a screenshot of this folder: /Users/todd/Library/Application Support/minecraft/libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.16.3-34.1.42/

Delete the file, run the installer again and then try again.

Same things happens

Then I do not know. Might be something Mac specific.
