    Hello Matias S, I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

    I understand your frustration. Here are some solutions that might help fix the problem with installing Forge for Minecraft:

    Reinstall Java: Often corruption or problems with the application can lead to problems, and reinstalling is the only viable solution.

    Press Windows + R to open the Run command, type appwiz.cpl in the text field and click OK

    Change the default app for .jar files to Java: Go to Settings > Apps > Default apps > Choose default apps by file type. Scroll down and search for .jar. Change the application for the .jar file to Java

    Run the .jar file from the command line: Hold down the shift key and right-click on an empty space in the folder where the installer is located. Select “Open PowerShell window here” and then try running the file with the command java -jar <file name="">

    Rename the Forge installation file: Go to the Downloads folder and locate the Minecraft Forge installation file. Then, rename the forge-installer. JAR file to forge. JAR

    Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again.</file>

    Can I recover my old Minecraft Worlds?

    Ah, okay.

    Thank you for the help.

    It seems to be a common problem with JAR Files not opening, I made a Batch File to fix it.

    Kind regards,

    Michael.

    Can I recover my old Minecraft Worlds?

    Me again. Just updating that I have managed to recover my Worlds.

    For some reason, I had to now move them to the Mod Folder, and now they work.

    The only thing stopping me from playing them, is Java. I have the right JAR Files. But it doesn't want to open them with Java.
