Forge can crash during installation due to various factors, such as the use of an incompatible version of Java, a corrupted or incomplete download, or conflicting mods.

Arun Gupta has been working with Devoxx4Kids for over two years, teaching Java programming with Minecraft modding. InfoQ spoke to Arun about the recently published book, Minecraft Modding with Forge.

Forge goes way beyond that, however, by allowing users to overwrite the Java building blocks (ha) of the game. You can literally change Minecraft into a different game.
