I get a lot of emails from people looking for help with Minecraft, and easily the number one topic is mods - specifically Forge and the problems involved with installing it. So I'm going to run through some of the most common issues people seem to have, along with the solutions that work most of the time and suggestions for other stuff to try. If you're not sure what I'm talking about.

Forge is a Minecraft mod that helps you to install other mods. If you're looking for instructions for downloading and installing it, check the article first.

If you're still having problems after reading through these suggestions, check the for answers or and I'll see if I can help! You don't know which version of Forge to get 1. Check which version of Minecraft your mods are made for. Look for that version under Minecraft Versions. If this is your first time installing Forge, pick the one that says Recommended and the option called Installer. HANDY TIP: If you want a direct download link that doesn't pass through AdFly first (for more info on that, see the note at the bottom of this article about malware), click Show All Downloads.

You'll notice that next to each option there's an icon that looks like a little 'i' - hover over that and you'll get a box with the direct download link to the file. You downloaded Forge but it won't install Double-click the file to open the installer - a box should pop up with the option to 'install client'. If that doesn't happen, or you click install client and it doesn't work, try another version from the downloads page (try Latest instead of Recommended, or the one that says Universal). It says 'run version x manually at least once' The version of Forge you're trying to install can't find the unmodded 'vanilla' game files for the version of Minecraft that it's made for, most likely because you've never played that version before or you've only played a modded version. You need to run this version at least once so the launcher can download the files it needs and set up all the folders correctly.

To run a version manually at least once:. Start Minecraft.
