I would like to install the forge for the Windows 10 edition. However i feel i have jumped through every hoop to try this and i am not getting anywhere. I get the error, there is not Minecraft directory, or Minecraft launcher. I need help. >:(

Forge only works in the Desktop Edition of Minecraft, the Windows 10 Edition is completely different.

Thank you for your reply.

Why are they different? How do i get mods to work on windows 10 edition?

 

There are three main editions of Minecraft: Computer (which I previously referred to as Desktop), Pocket and Console.

 

Computer Edition is the original and runs on most PC operating systems (including Windows, OS X and Linux). It can be modded with Forge and other types of mods.

 

Pocket Edition is a rewritten implementation of Minecraft for mobile devices. Windows 10 Edition is a port of Pocket Edition to the Windows 10 platform. It can be modded on some mobile platforms (e.g. Android), but I don't know of any mods for the Windows 10 Edition. The Minecraft Marketplace will allow you to buy additional content for Pocket Edition/Windows 10 Edition.

 

Console Edition is a rewritten implementation of Minecraft for consoles. It can't be legitimately modded.

 

There's no way to run Forge or other Computer Edition mods on the Windows 10 Edition, but there's nothing stopping you from running the Computer Edition on Windows 10.
