How to install minecraft forge 1.16.4 (xbox)

Hi TóthZoltán3,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forums. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today.

We understand that you are experiencing issues when trying to play Minecraft using Forge. As per description, the PC will reroute to start when you try to run the App.

Let us check on this together and sort this out to assist your concern. However, before we proceed, we would like to ask few questions about it.

1. What troubleshooting have you done so far?
   
2. Did you check system requirement or compatibility with Minecraft Forge and to your PC?
   

This is what we've got from research.

To install Forge, you will need to have Minecraft installed and have run it at least once. This will ensure that all of the necessary files are in place.

• Minecraft Forge only works for Minecraft: Java Edition.
  
• Minecraft for Xbox One and PS4 cannot be modded.
  
• You can use smartphone apps: Android and iPhone/iPad versions of Minecraft.
  
• If creating a Forge server, no need Minecraft official server software installed.
  
• The Forge installer contains all of the server files.
  

Note: It is recommended that you install the version of Minecraft Forge that corresponds to the version of Minecraft you are playing. For example, if you are playing Minecraft 1.13, you should download Minecraft Forge 1.13. You can find the link to the different versions of Minecraft Forge in the list that says "Minecraft Version" to the left.

• The latest version of Minecraft Forge is 1.16.1, but this version of Minecraft Forge has had the least amount of testing.
  
• The latest recommended version of Minecraft Forge is 1.15.2.
  
• Some mods require a specific version of Minecraft Forge. If the mod you want to install requires you to install a specific version of Minecraft Forge, check to see all versions of Minecraft Forge on the web.
  

We hope it worked out well for you. If not, please reply back to this forum to let us know so we could find other options to resolve the problem.



We will be glad to follow up and help you.

Hi TOO139. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

On this forum, we provide support and advice for Xbox devices and services. We aren't able to provide the best support for games made by other companies; In-game issues are best addressed by the game developer.

However, Minecraft Support can't assist you with modded versions of Minecraft. If you're having issues when Forge is installed, you'll have to ask for support from the Forge forums: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/forum/18-support-bug-reports/

For help with vanilla versions of Minecraft, you can speak with Minecraft Support: https://help.minecraft.net/

Hello Matias S, I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

I understand your frustration. Here are some solutions that might help fix the problem with installing Forge for Minecraft:

Reinstall Java: Often corruption or problems with the application can lead to problems, and reinstalling is the only viable solution.

Press Windows + R to open the Run command, type appwiz.cpl in the text field and click OK

Change the default app for .jar files to Java: Go to Settings > Apps > Default apps > Choose default apps by file type. Scroll down and search for .jar. Change the application for the .jar file to Java

Run the .jar file from the command line: Hold down the shift key and right-click on an empty space in the folder where the installer is located. Select “Open PowerShell window here” and then try running the file with the command java -jar <file name="">

Rename the Forge installation file: Go to the Downloads folder and locate the Minecraft Forge installation file. Then, rename the forge-installer. JAR file to forge. JAR

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again.</file>

Hi, Martin Slovák

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.



It seems like you're experiencing issues with running Minecraft modpacks that use Java 17 on Windows 11. Here are some additional troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Allocate Sufficient RAM: Make sure you're allocating enough RAM to Minecraft. Sometimes, modpacks require more RAM than the default allocation. You can adjust this in the Minecraft Launcher settings under "Installations" > "More Options" > "JVM Arguments". Try increasing the allocated RAM to see if it helps.
   
2. Check Java Version Compatibility: Ensure that the mods and the Minecraft Forge version you're using are compatible with Java 17. Some mods or Forge versions may not yet fully support Java 17, leading to crashes. You might need to switch to an earlier version of Java (e.g., Java 16) if compatibility issues persist.
   
3. Update Forge: Make sure you're using the latest version of Minecraft Forge compatible with Java 17. Check the Forge website or the CurseForge modpack page for updates. Sometimes, using an outdated version of Forge can cause compatibility issues.
   
4. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated or corrupt graphics drivers can sometimes cause Minecraft to crash. Visit the website of your graphics card manufacturer to download and install the latest drivers.
   
5. Reinstall Minecraft: If none of the above steps work, try uninstalling and reinstalling Minecraft and the CurseForge launcher. This can sometimes fix issues related to corrupted game files or misconfigurations.
   

If you've tried all these steps and are still experiencing issues, you may want to reach out to the Minecraft community forums or the CurseForge support team for further assistance. They may have additional insights or solutions specific to your situation.
