What version of java does forge require?
As for java, minecraft/forge/mods run on java 8 (for the most part). Minecraft is shipped with Java 8 version 51 (It’s an outdated version, I’d suggest updating) by default and I wouldn’t really suggest using newer versions of java such as java 10, 11, etc. There are a few variants of java 8 that will all work.
