I have the forge installer installed
but the problem is I can't install forge from the forge installer
if the problem is that nothing pops up when you run the forge installer, open command prompt and type this: cd Downloads && java -jar forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.2318-1.8.9-installer.jar
when i run the forge installer it's not that nothing pops up but instead i get an error message and ive tried everything
send a screenshot of the error message
You installed java right?
yeah
type that command i sent into command prompt
try just cd Downloads
if that doesn't give you an error then try running the command java -version
it says it's an error because it can't access it
Error: Unable to access jarfile forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.2318-1.8.9-installer.jar
you installed the wrong java version, in the how to install java video at 0:14 make sure you tick java 8 (lts)
oh ok
what do i do now
run java -version in command prompt again
alright, run java -jar forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.2318-1.8.9-installer.jar
Error: Unable to access jarfile forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.2318-1.8.9-installer.jar
it says the same thing
I think i'm beyond help
nah you're fine
two options:
- we try and fix this problem or
- you can download Prism Launcher which is basically a better minecraft launcher, you can install forge in a couple of clicks using it
do you want to try and fix this/
because i don't want to waste your time
and i have to go soon
no problem, try downloading the forge file again https://maven.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.8.9-11.15.1.2318-1.8.9/forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.2318-1.8.9-installer.jar
once it's downloaded check it's in your Downloads folder, and run the java -jar forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.2318-1.8.9-installer.jar command again
it says the same thig
try just double clicking the file you downloaded
yeah the same error happens
Im out of ideas, try this minecraft launcher instead if you're happy to

thanks for the help
I have prism launcher and I'm at the part where I don't understand how to add skytils/ texture packs
Ik ur not online
sorry for ping
Np, Have you made an instance?
I'm currently at that part and I already changed it to 1.8.9 but im not sure where to go next
Send a screenshot of where you’re at
On the button right click forge
ok i did that
Now are you at the main screen with the 1.8.9 instance visible with the grass logo?
yeah
Assuming you’ve added your mc account, click “folder” on the right and file explorer should open
Then open the .minecraft/mods folder
ok
And put skytils in
Yeah, then you should be good to close file explorer and hit “play” in prism launcher
