How to install Minecraft Forge on a Chromebook

on

Today we are looking at how to install Minecraft Forge on a Chromebook.  This method should work with all, or at least most Minecraft Mods.

In this video, we first enable Linux Apps, install Minecraft, launch Minecraft, and close it, then we install Minecraft Forge.

Please follow the video/audio guide as a tutorial where we explain the process step by step and use the commands below.

Please take note that with the release of Chrome OS 90,  the location of Linux Apps has been changed in the Chromebook’s settings.  Have a look at this tutorial, to see how to turn on Linux apps and then continue with the installation tutorial.
Commands Used:
1) sudo apt update

 2) sudo chmod 755 forge.jar
3) java -jar forge.jar

Update:  In Chrome OS 83 Linux Apps has an option now, not seen in this video as it was recorded before Chrome OS 83, to choose a username for your Linux Apps,  it is completely optional and you can just press on the install option to continue, as seen in the video.  Please send us a comment on YouTube if you need assistance!
