¶ What is Forge?
Since Minecraft version 1.1, the developers of Forge, a mod loading API, have been updating this renowned software consistently. While some updates have taken longer than others, Forge continues to be the primary mod loader today. Forge is an installable and modified version of Minecraft that allows mods to be loaded into the game. Usually, Forge is automatically installed if you're installing mods through the Curseforge app. If you've ever played Minecraft with mods, you've most likely used Forge.

¶ Where do I put the Mods on my PC?
Mods for Forge come in the form of jar files. These are simple to install on both your server and your computer, which you'll need both if you intend on playing a modded server. To install the mods on your computer, switch over to the Installations tab in the Minecraft launcher and click the folder icon on forge.
This will open File Explorer to the Forge install directory. You'll see a folder called mods, where you can drag and drop your jar files into.
After that, follow our Add mods wiki to setup your server.
