Hi, I've been trying to get forge for a while now but it's never been able to work for me. So when I try to install forge, it says it downloads successfully. But then when I go to Minecraft launcher, it doesn't show up as a profile and I checked the installation profiles too and it's not there either. So I tried to go into my minecraft file and I checked the versions folder, but the forge folder isn't even there too (even though when I downloaded forge, it says it downloaded successfully into my Minecraft folder). I checked to see if the download directory thing was correct when I tried to download forge and it was right. I also already reinstalled Minecraft too and it's still happening. (Also, I tried to install optifine as well and it's the same thing too; it doesn't show up in my versions folder or my Minecraft launcher even though it says it downloaded properly). Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix this?
Yeah, I did install it. I didn't put it into my mods folder. When I installed it, it said it installed a profile client for 1.15.2 forge but it doesn't show up in my launcher or the versions folder.
OptiForge is the way to go for 1.15+ as I don't think Optifine's elements are available in Forge so best to go with that mod for it adding the compatibility for Optifine to work alongside Forge. 1.14.4 Optifine works with Forge it seems but going forward just like with OptiFabric you'll want this mod for compatibility with it: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/optiforge/files

Oh okay that makes sense, thanks for the tip! And I just figured out why it wasn't showing up, I have an anti-virus software and I realized that it was blocking my forge. Or at least that's what I think since I uninstalled it and now forge is showing up. Thanks for all the help anyways!
And yeah that can happen with Anti-virus as they can be suspicious with jar files or webpages I think, I don't know much about that though. Can be annoying when it is harmless and something your familiar with.

I tried Downloading optifine, it does not show up on my desktop and I cant open it with java, I do have anti-virus software but I dont know if thats the problem. any helpful tips on what i can do?
3.Anti-Virus can but it depends, if you can tell me the one you have maybe it might be good to know if it's a factor. But otherwise try without disabling it and see what happens after installing Java.
If you want to use Optifine alongside mods then you need OptiForge or OptiFabric but if you want to use it on it's own just double click to install it alongside Vanilla (the base game unmodified).

Oops, sorry I meant forge in the title. But I mean optifine also doesn't show up too so lol
After you downloaded Forge, did you install it? Its not like other mods you just copy into the mods folder.

1.Have you sent Optifine to your Downloads folder and nothing appears.
2.Have you installed Java before downloading/using the Optifine file. https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
3.Anti-Virus can but it depends, if you can tell me the one you have maybe it might be good to know if it's a factor. But otherwise try without disabling it and see what happens after installing Java.
