You’ve installed Java, you’ve run Minecraft, and now it’s time to start with the setup of Forge. If you don’t run Minecraft prior to downloading Forge, you’ll encounter various errors when attempting to install mods later on.

Running Minecraft will ensure that all the necessary folder locations have been created on your computer before attempting to install Forge. We recommend logging in to your account and actually jumping into a procedurally generated world to verify that the game does, in fact, run properly before messing with Forge. Once Java is installed, go ahead and run Minecraft. There’s nothing else you’ll need to do with Java at this point - we’ll circle back to it later. Then, just follow the straightforward directions to complete the download, and close out of your browser. From there, you’ll be prompted to accept a few agreements, and the installation will begin. If it’s not, head on over to the official Java website and click on the Java Download button. The first thing you’ll want to do is ensure that Java is installed on your computer. In a few short steps, you can have mods running in your own game - here's how it works. In short, Forge lets you quickly install mods to a specific Minecraft profile without having to be a tech-savvy wizard.

The process of installing mods is much easier than it has been in the past, all thanks to a piece of software called Forge.
