# Installing Forge
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-03-28 16:33:59 -04:00
|
|
|
Go to [the Forge website][Download]
|
2019-06-26 06:38:32 +10:00
|
|
|
and select the Minecraft version you wish to get Forge for from the list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can download the installer for the *Recommended Build* or the
|
|
|
|
|
*Latest build* there. Latest builds may have newer features but may be
|
|
|
|
|
more unstable as a result. The installer will attempt to install Forge
|
|
|
|
|
into your vanilla launcher environment, where you can then create a new
|
|
|
|
|
profile using that version and play the game!

## Required Java Versions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We require the version of Java that Minecraft requires, which is currently:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Minecraft | Java |
|
|
|
|
|
|---------------|-------------------|
|
|
|
|
|
| 1.20.6+ | [21][Adoptium-21] |
|
|
|
|
|
| 1.18 - 1.20.4 | [17][Adoptium-17] |
|
|
|
|
|
| 1.17.1 | [16][Adoptium-16] |
|
|
|
|
|
| 1.16.5- | [8][Adoptium-8] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**If you are on Windows and have difficulty using Java to launch JAR files, consider using [Jarfix by Johann Löfflmann][Jarfix].**
