Forge is a free, open-source modding API all of your favourite mods use!

# Installing Forge
Go to [the Forge website][Download]
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][Support-Forum] or [the Forge Discord server][Discord].
## Required Java Versions
We require the version of Java that Minecraft requires, which is currently:
| Minecraft | Java |
|---------------|-------------------|
| 1.20.6+ | [21][Adoptium-21] |
| 1.18 - 1.20.4 | [17][Adoptium-17] |
| 1.17.1 | [16][Adoptium-16] |
| 1.16.5- | [8][Adoptium-8] |
**If you are on Windows and have difficulty using Java to launch JAR files, consider using [Jarfix by Johann Löfflmann][Jarfix].**
