MinecraftForge
Forge is a free, open-source modding API all of your favourite mods use!
| Version | Support |
|---|---|
| All versions | Supported |
Installing Forge
Go to the Forge website and select the Minecraft version you wish to get Forge for from the list.
You can download the installer for the Recommended Build or the Latest build there. Latest builds may have newer features but may be more unstable as a result. The installer will attempt to install Forge into your vanilla launcher environment, where you can then create a new profile using that version and play the game!
For support and questions, visit the Support Forum or the Forge Discord server.
Required Java Versions
We require the version of Java that Minecraft requires, which is currently:
| Minecraft | Java |
|---|---|
| 1.20.6+ | 21 |
| 1.18 - 1.20.4 | 17 |
| 1.17.1 | 16 |
| 1.16.5- | 8 |
If you are on Windows and have difficulty using Java to launch JAR files, consider using Jarfix by Johann Löfflmann.
