Forge is one of Minecraft’s most popular mod loaders, featuring thousands of mods that have added content to Minecraft for each version of the game. If you would like to use Forge Mods on your server, you must install the same version of Forge on both your CivilHost Minecraft and your Minecraft Game client.
Before installing mods, you need to know what Forge version you want to use. This will, of course, depend on what Minecraft version your mods/modpacks will use. To join your Forge Minecraft server, you must also have the forge client running on your computer while you are playing.
