Minecraft Forge is an open-source server that allows players to install and run Minecraft mods. Minecraft Forge is Free; Minecraft Forge will help Minecraft gamers download, install, and run mods and use the forge to run mods without extensive knowledge of technology and / or programming. It was designed to simplify compatibility between community-created game mods for Minecraft: Java Edition.

Preparing for Installation

Check your Play button. You’ll need to have a drop-up menu button or arrow to the right of it, like so:

This arrow allows you to launch different releases. You’ll need to have a different release to launch in order to fully import Minecraft Forge.

To enable this, go to Step 2. If you already have this feature enabled, feel free to skip this part and jump straight to the Installation section. But if you want to double-check your versions (or add a new one), keep going.

Note: Your computer installed Java first, and your RAM must be at least> 2GB.It’s highly recommended that you allocate half of your current RAM to the game.

Run the installer program and select “Install Client.” The files will automatically be installed to the default install directory (.minecraft folder).

Optional: You can change the install directory for the Minecraft Forge files by clicking the “…” button next to the box with the directory address. If you want easy access to the files, we recommend creating a temporary folder on your Desktop and setting that as the install directory.

Hit OK. All libraries and Forge files will immediately begin downloading into the specified folder.

Wait until all files have been downloaded before moving on to Step 4. This should only take a minute or two.

Exit your Minecraft Launcher, and then start it again. Go back to Launch Options and click on Add New.

Notice:

If you have other versions of Forge installed, make sure you have NO existing mods in the mods folder. Otherwise, Forge won’t load.

Play the Version With “forge” in the Name
