Without Forge, it would be almost impossible to play Minecraft with mods. It is an addition to the game which helps to create and install other modifications.
Forge itself has no effect on gameplay. It is only needed to install custom mods. After installing Forge, the mods folder will appear in the Minecraft root folder. In it in the future it will be necessary to place mods in the .zip or .jar format. Most launchers for Minecraft already have ready-made builds with Forge, you just have to select it and start the game. But if you wish, you can always carry out a manual installation. For beginners, we have prepared a mod installation guide.
How to install Forge Loader
