Rift is a free, open-source mod loader and API for Minecraft 1.13.It is not meant to replace forge.

Forge Mods
The majority of modern mods use Forge in order to be added to vanilla Minecraft, some mods that support Forge are listed on its website.

The user may want to see if the mod they want supports Forge. The mods file is loaded in the directory .minecraft\mods and is generated after Forge is run at least once. To reach the directory, type %appdata% and open .minecraft into the search box or Run (Windows: Windows key + R).

Installing Forge mods
In order to install and use mods in the game using Forge, the software may be installed at at https://files.minecraftforge.net/. The Forge mods can be used on any version on Minecraft Java 1.0+ and Forge must be kept up to date. Forge does not have a user interface itself.

What are mods?
Mods modify the game, adding or changing functionality and behavior, such as by allowing players to modify and copy large areas of land and buildings (WorldEdit) to speed up building. Mods will only work with a certain Minecraft version, although it's not impossible to get a mod for an older version. The compatible version is usually displayed on the mod's download page. Many modders (mod-makers) still use 1.7 to mod because of fewer limitations and easier file access.

Forge Mods
Forge mods only work with Forge. Forge processes mods differently than Modloader, so only certain mods can work with the two.
