What is Forge

Minecraft Forge is the most popular mod loader. It's the platform (API) that the vast majority of mods run on: industrial, tech, magic, RPG. Without Forge those mods simply won't launch — it's the "foundation" modifications need.

Most major builds and modpacks are built on Forge. It handles mod-to-mod compatibility, resource loading and hooking content into the game. Install Forge once and you can add hundreds of mods to a single profile.

Why install Forge through KLauncher

Normally you install Forge by hand: find the ad-filled official site, download the installer, run it. KLauncher does it all for you.

One-click install

No need to grab the Forge installer from the official site and run it by hand — just pick a version with Forge in the launcher and hit "Play".

Thousands of mods from the catalog

Forge is the platform most mods run on: industrial, tech, RPG. Install them straight from KLauncher's built-in catalog.

Every Minecraft version

Forge is available from 1.7.10 all the way to the latest versions. The launcher downloads the right Forge build for your chosen game version.

No viruses, no shady sites

Frequently asked questions about Forge

Is Forge free?

Forge is released for almost every version — from 1.7.10 to the current releases. KLauncher offers ready-made Forge builds for the popular versions.

How do I install mods on Forge?

Forge or Fabric — which should I choose?

Forge is for big mods, tech builds and most modpacks, especially on older versions. Fabric is lighter and updates faster for new versions. For popular builds, Forge is usually the one you need.
