MinecraftForge [](https://files.minecraftforge.net) [](https://discord.gg/UvedJ9m) [](https://www.patreon.com/LexManos) [](https://forgedev.flocker.tv/) ============= Forge is a free, open-source modding API all of your favourite mods use! | Version | Support | | ------------- | ------------- | | 1.14.x | Active (latest) | | 1.12.x | Active (stable) | * [Download] * [Forum] * [Discord] * [Documentation] #### Notes: - Introduced in 1.13 was a new FML, information found [here](NewFML.md). # Installing Forge Go to [the Forge website](https://files.minecraftforge.net) 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](https://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/forum/18-support-bug-reports/).
