NeoForge is an open-source modding API and mod loader designed for Minecraft: Java Edition that enables developers to create and run game modifications within a structured development framework. The project was created as a community-driven continuation of the Minecraft Forge ecosystem and aims to provide a modernized, actively maintained platform for mod development. NeoForge includes tools, APIs, and build systems that allow developers to modify game behavior, add new gameplay mechanics, and integrate custom content into Minecraft worlds. The framework is designed to simplify the development process by offering standardized interfaces, development kits, and compatibility layers that help mod creators build complex modifications without rewriting core game code. By supporting mod development tools such as Gradle plugins and mod development kits, NeoForge allows programmers to efficiently build, compile, and distribute mods for multiple versions of Minecraft.
