There is an error when I try to open Minecraft 1.18, which gives me this error message "jar needs language provider javafml:39 or above to load" What does this mean?

Thanks for the report!
Most likely you need the latest version of Forge for 1.18.1, maybe you have Forge for 1.18?
If that's not it, I need some more information to solve this issue, please paste your full fml-client-latest.log or latest.log to https://gist.github.com and link it here.
