Minecraft Forge (API) for Minecraft 1.5.2, 1.5.1 and 1.6.1 is an open-source tool or a modification layer which provides modding capabilities to developers and players. It allows them to remove and sometimes minimize the incompatibilities between Minecraft mods. For instance; players can install multiple mods of similar functionality without any glitches or errors. On the other hand developers can hook their mods rightly without worrying about conflicts with other mods.

- Do a test run before installing any mods in MCForge.
- Minecraft Forge updates very often, make sure you have latest version.
my game crash after install why ? i have only logo mojang and crash
You’re probably using an outdated version of Forge i had the same problem but it was because of a different version of MC
I’m running MC 1.5.1, trying to add the Thaumcraft 3.0.3 mod and get the same error: Mojang logo and then just a black screen, no menu.
I’m sure I installed the Forge correctly: if there are no files in the ‘mods’ folder, it runs just fine. The black screen of death appears when I place the Thaumcraft mod RAR file into the folder (as instructed in the modding guide).
Help?
I have the same problem, but it’s not just with thaumcraft, it’s with all mods
I get the “FML is setting up your minecraft environment” and nothing happens. Stuck at 0% and the game it’s self has a black screen. Trying to get Mo’s creatures and Zanminimap to work. So far nothing.
Yes,i have the same exact problem.What is going on?Anyone?
Did you delete META-INF?
Probably the mod is outdated ( Its not for your version of Minecraft. )
i down loaded the right version of the mod and i, too get the black screen
Ya that means the mods you put in there one of the mods can not work with the other mod
No I am using latest Version, And after Mojang it just crashes. Or, Blackscreen. Almust same thing.
you make all this thing into a java folder?
i started a minecraft then the fml showed up (i download Forge cause im gonna download New minerals mod) it go tp 91% and it disappear and my minecraft Black screened
Simple problem to fix. Either you’re using an outdated version of forge, or minecraft, or you’re deleting meta-inf after you install forge. To ensure you deleted the right folder, because forge itself comes with its own meta-inf folder which you should NOT delete, delete meta-inf first, then drag the contents of forge into your bin. For the most recent version of forge, click on the link above that says minecraftforge-universal-latest.zip
i instaled it but when i open minecraft jar i domt see mod file but i see all others
The mod file isn’t in minecraft.jar it’s in .minecraft (or for mac minecraft)
thank you!
Wow
I need a 1.5 redstone update forge
I get a black screen. BOO!
Something must’ve been installed wrong then…what operating system are you using?
If you’re using mac or any operating system now there’s no need (actualy don’t) delete META-INF as a file overrides that folder and is critical to run forge
I cant get to the mod folder
Try making a mods folder by making a new folder and naming it mods (no caps)
When i put the chickencore mod into the coremods folder it gives me a fatal error
I get fatal error, a. Jar clean recently upgraded to 1.5.1 with the first download link.
Win7 64 i7 16gb 2gddr
Why???? I try many times
welcome answers.
thanks
You’re using cracked minecraft version. Same for me. It only works for premium minecraft.
I get fatal error, a. Jar clean recently upgraded to 1.5.1 with the first download link.
u need to delete the coremods folder, but then you might get the black screen error which I cant fix, im looking for the answer right now.
Hi!
I just down loaded this version of minecraft forge, and after I put it in and got started minecraf.jar minecraft. it says only that it has some tasks to do before I can play. and it has been so the last half hour. what is wrong???
Thank you
Damn, it didn’t crash but i can’t play it says Done loading and nothing more
hey, had the same problem but tried after copying forge to mincraft.jar I deleted the META-INF. but, I think its best to start with a fresh mincraft.jar by running an update then try this approach.
This happened to me too! it says done loading for like 20 mins and doesn’t start. I didnt have a mods folder so i made one instead.
i like minecarft
I installed Forge correctly, but only 5 (including the three that come with the program) actually work. The mods are in the ‘mods’ folder in .minecraft, but they still don’t even show up in the Mods section on Minecraft.
Ok. So I’m using the minecraft majic launcher and i can install most mods no problem. but when i try to use the new forge, it sais “1 error”. I try to open minecraft and it gives me a black screen. What am i doing wrong?
Yesterday I had the very same…Forge would load but would give me the “1 error” warning, the Mojang screen, then black screen. I tried the Forge installation on MC1.5.1…no good, so I updated to MC1.5.2 and still I get the error. My game is clean. No mods have been installed, and I am using MagicLauncher. The Forge file states it is for 1.5.1/1.5.2…I just don’t know, unless the new update is not working with this file, or the file is corrupt. I have re-downloaded the file and force updated the game also. But nada. I cannot get Optifine to function either. The file will not extract correctly and throws an error. I spent hours on this yesterday…I’m stumped. If we are all having this problem, then it is not us, but the files.
I keep coming up with this problem where it says “there was a fatal error starting up minecraft and FML, please consult this file…”
Please help!
so it says there was a fatal error and it couldnt be started in its “current state” any help?
Same Problem.
The Forge Modloader isn’t compatible with the 1.5.2 update.
It says the following : FML is setting up your minecraft environment
But it never finishes the “setting up”.
Help?
same probleme that Kingties have.
will not start Black screen
It does not work for 1.5.2. 1.5.1 it works great but not 1.5.2
May be you have downloaded the wrong version. Forge for 1.5.2 is released a day ago.
The new version doesn’t help.
It now loads the game itself, but after the Mojang screen, it makes the screen black and doesn’t do anything.
Is it just me or is that normal?
I’m having the same as well. I’m getting an error report after trying to re download my mods when FML is loading after starting it up.
o universal forger é compativel com o optifine pois sempre que uso os dois juntos o jogo crasha antes de abrir logo apos o logotipo da mojang
READ ME I KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT WORK!
You delete the old meta inf then drag in the MCForge files.
JUST DELETE MINECRAFT! IM HAVING THE SAME BROBLEM!
Mine says 1 ERROR on Magic Launcher. If I go on SINGLE PLAYER, It crashes, the startup and menu is fine but single player.. nuh uh. I haven’t tried MULTIPLAYER yet But I’ll try.
