Forge

Forge-Compatible Minecraft Launcher

Build a Minecraft launcher with Forge, the most popular mod loader, built in. Manage your mods, updates, and branding from a simple dashboard.

What is Forge?

Minecraft Forge is Minecraft Java's original mod loader. Since 2011, it has let developers build powerful mods on top of a full API system. Forge is the go-to choice for major modpacks like the Feed The Beast series, RLCraft, and All The Mods.

With thousands of mods available and a massive community, Forge remains the standard for Minecraft servers offering a rich, full-featured modded experience.
