NeoForge installer files

You can find a direct link to our latest installer file below.

Note: this file is still called forge because we’re trying to maintain compatibility with launchers, assuming they don’t hardcode things too much.

Using NeoForge for mod development

If you don’t have a current mod project

1. Go to The MDK and click Use This Template to create a copy in your personal GitHub space.
2. Clone this project locally, and get started! Our Documentation and the Modding Wiki are great places to learn more.

If you have an existing mod project

You can use neoforge in your existing mod development as well. To do so:

1. Update your repositories to use https://maven.neoforged.net/releases instead of https://maven.minecraftforge.net
2. Update your ForgeGradle to use NeoGradle 6.0.13 or above:

   plugins {
       ...
       id 'net.neoforged.gradle' version '[6.0.13, 6.2)'
   }
   

3. Update your minecraft dependency to use net.neoforged:forge and the version as shown above.

Some things to note

1. At the present time, mods built by either system should be intercompatible between forks.
2. Do note that recently, there were some changes in the recommended way to use ForgeGradle/NeoGradle. Note especially the way that settings.gradle has changed, as well as the removal of the buildscript section in build.gradle. Refer to The MDK for an example and more.
