How To Install Minecraft Mods
Minecraft users don't like being told what they can and can't build in a virtual block sandbox. Currently the best-selling game of all time, the defeated title doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. It's unique and fun, and with Minecraft's multiplayer gameplay and the ability to create your own Minecraft server, it's a great game to play with friends.
Fortunately, since the game's release in 2009, the good-natured Minecraft community has produced many mods, though each update has grown in complexity and Lego-like appeal. And with so many customizable mod launchers, getting started has never been easier.
Here's our guide to installing Minecraft mods for every platform - whether it's a complete upgrade on PC or a simple add-on pack for console players, we'll show you how to get the job done.

Install Minecraft Mods on Windows
There are many ways to modify Minecraft , but the easiest and most popular method requires the Forge application. Here's how it works:
Step 1: Go to Forge official website and download the recommended version of the software. You can also install the latest version of Forge, but there may be unresolved bugs that affect your ability to run certain mods correctly.
Step 2 : Download the mod you want to install from a trusted source. CurseForge is a popular site with hundreds of great mods. However, not all mods are compatible with all versions of Minecraft or Forge. Be sure to check the specific mod you want to see if it's compatible with your software.
Step 3: Create a "mods" folder in your .minecraft directory. Here is the destination address:
C: user [your name] AppDataRoaming.minecraft
If the AppData folder isn't visible in File Explorer, click View at the top of the app, then select Hidden items .
If this is your first mod, there is no "mods" folder in the .minecraft folder. With the .minecraft folder open, right-click in File Explorer and select New , then select Folder from the context menu. Name this folder "mods".
Step 4: Move the downloaded mods to the Mods folder.
Step 5: Start Minecraft , but first make sure your Forge account is active. Otherwise, your module will not load correctly.
He is there! As mentioned, there are many other mod launchers on the internet besides Forge, such as LiteLoader, so if you don't like everything it has to offer, you can always take a good look. However, for some reason, the most popular and newest mods will be compatible with the software.
Install Minecraft Mods on Mac
Mac users can follow steps 1 and 2 of the previous instructions, although you must follow these instructions for step 3.
Create a "mods" folder in your minecraft directory. Here is the destination address:
~/Library/Application Support/Mining
You can quickly navigate to this folder using the Command+Shift+G keyboard shortcut.Also, open the Finder , click Go in the menu bar, and press the Option key to open the Library folder. Go to "Application Support" then "Minecraft" .
Once there, right-click inside that folder, select "New Folder" from the context menu, and name it "mods".
Mac users can refer back to steps 4 and 5 in the set of instructions below.
