I recently downloaded Mcreator as I wanted to create my own mods, however it does not open. It loads up fine, however it has a big red X next to 'Caching decompiled code'. Another window also appears, stating 'MCreator setup failed! The setup of MCreator failed. Based on the suggestions you got, try to fix any errors you have (I don't know what errors there could be that stop it from working) and run it again. It will try to setup itself again. If you don't manage to fix the problem (which I haven't), send an open ticket on https://mcreator.net/tracker (which is what I had to resort to) and we will try to help you out. ERROR CODE: MCREATOR_SETUP_FAILED' I do not know how to fix this situation, so any help will be greatly appreciated. I have also looked around for anything similar but I haven't found anything that relates to this

Issue comments
Make sure to set Java home environment variable pointing to Java 8 installation. Read this guide on how to achieve this: https://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-set-java_home-environment-variable-o…
I've done everything right (it now says it's '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-10.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home', which is what the original website said) However, should the '10.0.2' read '1.8' to open the latest version of Mcreator? On a side note, the program won't even open now, the console just says 'Preferences may have changed, checking for any relevant changes'. I have no idea how to get around this.
I have googled for some more guides that worked for some people, check these pages too:
Mcreator has finally managed to open, there is one more error though
