Why is my Minecraft Forge not showing up?

One common reason for Minecraft Forge Not Working is that you install the Windows version of the game on your computer while Forge only runs in the Java version of the game. In addition, the Java version should match the version of the game. Otherwise, Forge won't work either.

Answer 2

Since the new launcher system introduced in 1.6, the bin folder was replaced with a versions folder containing separate folders for each version of Minecraft you have installed, containing a .jar file and a .json file.

However, you mainly don't even need to modify these anymore since you can instead use the installer provided by Forge itself on its official download page. Using those instead of installing Forge manually works just as well and much easier.

As texenox said, Since the new launcher system introduced in 1.6, the bin folder was replaced with a versions folder containing separate folders for each version of Minecraft you have installed, containing a .jar file and a .json file, So you could go to appdata/roaming/.minecraft/mods If you want to see forge mods, And you can go to appdata/roaming/.minecraft./versions If you want to see forge file,The forge file should look like this : "1.8.8-Forge11.14.1.1412" or something.
