Minecraft Forge v12.16.1.1938 - 50.0.20

Minecraft Forge is an essential addition for Minecraft if you plan on using mods! Without it, over half of all mods available for the game won't work. That's because it's one of the most popular modding libraries for Minecraft, and the majority of mods created for the game require Forge.

While not mandatory, if you're using mods that are built with it and have dependencies on it, its usage becomes obligatory, as such modifications simply won't appear in the game. What accounts for its popularity as an API? It offers developers extensive possibilities and boasts a wide array of functions for creating absolutely any mods for Minecraft. Therefore, developers often use it for their creations.

How to install Forge in Minecraft?

Actually, it's quite simple, without any unnecessary manipulations. Just follow the instructions below:

Minecraft Forge (like the Minecraft game itself) requires having JAVA installed. So, make sure to download this component from the official site and install it on your computer before proceeding to install Forge.
If Java is already installed, proceed to download the Forge itself. You can do this via the link below. Pay attention to the Minecraft version!
After downloading, run the Forge installer through the Java environment. You can do this by right-clicking on the file and selecting "Open with" -> "Java". Then confirm the installation and wait until the process is completed.

That's basically it!
