What are Minecraft forge?
To use mods in Minecraft, you need to install Minecraft Forge, find the mods you want online, add your mods to “Minecraft,” and troubleshoot any problems that may arise.
Install Minecraft Forge
Before you can install “Minecraft” mods, you’ll need to install a free app called Minecraft Forge. Forge is a third-party program that lets you manage, installs, enable, and delete any mod.
You can download Minecraft Forge from https://dlminecraft.com/mod/minecraft-forge-api/. Try to download the “Recommended” version, and make sure that the number in the left sidebar corresponds with the version of “Minecraft” that you have.
After you’ve downloaded and installed Forge, restart your computer, and open the Minecraft Launcher. You should see a new options menu — pick “Forge” from this menu and then press “Play.”
This will launch “Minecraft” with Forge enabled. If you’ve done it right, you’ll see a new menu titled “Mods” in the main menu.
Find and Download Minecraft Mods that you want
There are dozens of sites that offer “Minecraft” mods for free. Two of the most popular are dlminecraft.com and curseforge, wminecraft. If you can’t find the mods you want there, you can always try searching for them on Google.
Also make sure that any mod you download is compatible with the specific version of “Minecraft” that you’re running. Both these sites have search features and comment sections, which let users report any issues they’ve had from a mod download.
Add your mod to ‘Minecraft’
1.Save your downloaded mod
To see your mod in action, download the mod file you want, and then place it in a folder created by Forge called “mods.” If you can’t find this folder, save your downloaded mod file anywhere else that you can find it.
Troubleshooting
If “Minecraft” has an issue loading after one or more mods are installed, don’t freak out. Bugs and other problems will come with the territory, and usually for simple reasons.
Make sure that you copied over the right files, and that the mod you downloaded can work with your version of “Minecraft.”
“Minecraft” will show you an error log if it fails to load, which you can inspect to find which mod is causing the game to crash. Once you’ve found it, open the mods folder and remove the culprit mod, then restart and launch again.
You sometimes won’t be able to launch “Minecraft” if a mod is bugged, and an error log like this one will appear instead
