I really want to use mods so I googled how to download then and stuff so I downloaded forge but I can't get into it. It keeps saying "There is no Minecraft directory set up. Either choose an alternative, or run the Minecraft launcher to create one." And I'm very confused because I'm not really a tech kinda person so I have no idea what the directory is, what the launcher is, or how to fix any of this. Will I get a bug or virus? How do I fix it?

You have to download Forge MDK, not installer.

There are no other options, sorry.

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.
