I decided to post how I fixed my minecraft mods not working incase anybody else ever has a similar problem. Some backround information: I was using java 6 and I had a corrupt forge. I knew I had the wrong java. I did not know I had a corrupt forge, and that took some testing to figure out.

Brief Summary: I fixed minecraft mods by installing the correct JRE, placing it in the virtual machines folder, creating a path and activating executeable on my minecraft profile editor and then replacing the old path with the new path, and reinstalling java.

Credits: Thank you MilkMC, SamwiseFilmore, and Campinator for helping me solve this. I wouldn't of been able to do any of the stuff I mentioned here without you guys. You are amazing.

Long Summary: This is how I fixed the minecraft mods issue.

1. I installed the JRE (multiple times and created a JRE 2 that was corrupt unintentionally.)

2. I put the JRE in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines.

3. I created a path. The first path didn't work. This is the first path I used: /jre1.8.0_151.jre 2/Contents/Home/bin/java. I removed the JRE 2 (since it was corrupt) and put in a non corrupt JRE in the virtual machine. I than combined the path to the virtual machine with the original path (except the 2) and thus the correct path was born. This is the correct path: /Library/Java/javaVirtualMachines/jre1.8.0_151.jre/Contents/Home/bin/java.

4. I verified that forge was corrupted by testing /Library/Java/javaVirtualMachines/jre1.8.0_151.jre/Contents/Home/bin/java on vanilla and it worked.

5. I enabled executeable and replaced this path /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java with this path /Library/Java/javaVirtualMachines/jre1.8.0_151.jre/Contents/Home/bin/java.

6. I reinstalled forge and the error was fixed.

Note that this DID not go smoothley.
