What is NeoForge

NeoForge is a modern mod loader, a fork of classic Forge. It emerged as a community-driven continuation of Forge and quickly became the new modding standard on the latest Minecraft versions (1.20.2 and newer).

Many major mods and builds for modern versions now release on NeoForge. It's actively developed, developer-friendly and keeps the familiar Forge model: install the loader and add hundreds of mods to a single profile.
