Documentation for Legacy Versions

Forge has existed for years, and you can still easily access builds of Forge for Minecraft versions as old as Minecraft 1.1. There are significant differences between each and every version, and it would be an impossible task to support so many different versions. Therefore, Forge uses an LTS system where a previous major Minecraft version is deemed as “LTS” (Long Term Support). Only the latest version and any current LTS versions will have easily accessible documentation and be included in the version dropdown in the sidebar. However, some older versions were LTS once or the latest version at some point and had documentation written. Links to old sites with documentation for those versions can be found here.

List of Previously Documented versions

Unfortunately, not all versions were used for a significant amount of time, and the documentation for that version may be incomplete. Whenever a new version is released, the documentation from the previous version is copied and adjusted over time to include new and updated information. When a version wasn’t supported for long, the information was never updated. The accuracy percentages represent how much of the information that should have been updated was actually updated.
