minecraft-java-edition
I've looked everywhere, and I can't seem to find any way to fix the issue I'm having. I found a version of Forge for 1.8, I downloaded it, but when I tried to run the client, it said I have to run Minecraft 1.8 manually first, which I've already done. Again, I downloaded it and it said the same thing.
Can anyone help?
Important Info (maybe):
Minecraft Version: 1.8.1
Launcher Version: 1.6.5
As described here (http://www.mcmodder.net/still-hungry):
Install the Forge API. Run Minecraft at least once. Put the mod’s .jar file in the mods folder located in your .minecraft folder. For any additional info, head to our big Mod Installation Guide. Ready to go! Enjoy.
On the Mac, the .minecraft directory is located in your user Library folder, which is hidden by default. You can get there by clicking Finder in the Dock, pressing Cmd+Shift+G and entering ~/Library/Application Support/Minecraft
You have "Hide extensions for known file types" turned on, and JAR files are registered with some program (likely either java or 7z). That means that the 1.8.1 file you see is in fact 1.8.1.jar, but Windows just hides the .jar part.
Knowing this, you can right-click the file and select Open With > 7zip (or any other zipping program) even though the extension is hidden.
To show all extensions, open any folder and click on Organize > Folder and Search Options. In the View tab, under advanced settings, uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types.

There is not a version of forge for 1.8.1 by the looks of it.
Run the 1.8 (not 1.8.1) of Minecraft and it should work.
