My son has version 1.7.9. And wants to add a gun mod. The gun mod says I need to install Forge. What is Forge? And how do I install it with out getting a virus? Is there any web site that would be of assistance to me?
Why is it so complicated to down load mods for minecraft?

Minecraft Forge is a Minecraft API which allows almost maximum compatibility between other Forge mods. It contains a clean room rewrite of RML (Risugami's Modloader) which allows compatibility with modloader mods. It contains hooks into the base Minecraft files that allows modders to make their mods more advanced without editing base classes.
Basically makes it a lot easier to use mods than how people used to do it when they started
Minecraft forge has an official forum with a help and support section. You will have good help over there.
