Install Forge

  • Forge up to 1.13.2 worked since commit a33dcfa which did a lot of changes around inheritsFrom behavior, meaning an unreleased build.
  • Forge 1.14+ worked since commit a666178 which sets -Dfml.earlyprogresswindow=false hidden argument.

Notes

  • Links are embedded on the light blue text.
  • You need a GitHub account to download dev builds, otherwise it will become error 404.

Preparing and setup

This method now applies to any Forge versions (up to latest Forge 1.16.4).

  • Update to the Forge working dev build: here.
  • Now, open the launcher, navigate to Options -> Launch mod installer.
  • Pick the downloaded Forge installer.
  • Once install done, it will show Install successful message (1.12.2 and below) or force-close/crash the launcher (1.13 and above).
  • If launcher crashes, check latestlog.txt, make sure INSTALL SUCCESSFUL text is available at the near end of log.
  • Back to version selector, swipe all the way down to the bottom, and Forge will be there.
  • Select Forge version and launch.

Known issues

  • Window size might be incorrect leads to wrong mouse position on 1.12.2 and below.
