What We Are

The Forge Community Wiki exists so that the community can:

• collectively keep track of the major changes and updates to Forge,
• provide each other with more in-depth explanations to subjects they happen to know about
• contribute example code for problem subjects

This Wiki is editable by any user that creates an account. This is so that we can keep track of harmful edits, but isn't imposing any annoying limits.

We welcome any edit, however small.

Note that the Wiki is still in its early stages. Pages can and will move around often, so if you bookmark any of these pages it's on you if the link dies :)

What We Are Not

This Wiki, in following the rules of the official Forge Forums and the official Forge Discord,
DOES NOT support any version prior than (currently) 1.15.2 and 1.16.3
We WILL NOT provide resources here for those versions, and any requests for help will be ignored with high levels of passive aggressiveness.
