Describe the bug

I'm on an Apple Silicon Mac, and I am unable to launch forge 1.8.9 minecraft.

I am getting the following error:

Error launching Minecraft: Could not canonicalize library path /Users/ct/Library/Application Support/ModrinthApp/meta/libraries/tv/twitch/twitch-platform/6.5/twitch-platform-6.5.jar: No such file or directory (os error 2)

I also already found an way to duct-tape fix this.
The app downloads twitch at ~/Library/Application Support/ModrinthApp/meta/libraries/tv/twitch/twitch/6.5/twitch-6.5.jar
All you have to do is change the second twitch to twitch-platform and add twitch platform to the jar name so from:
~/Library/Application Support/ModrinthApp/meta/libraries/tv/twitch/twitch/6.5/twitch-6.5.jar
to:
~/Library/Application Support/ModrinthApp/meta/libraries/tv/twitch/twitch-platform/6.5/twitch-platform-6.5.jar

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download the Hypixelized mod pack (i used this modpack but i think it works on non-modpacks)
  2. Launch the modpack.

Expected behavior

I expect the game to launch
