Bob so playing similar process this is our in-depth guide let’s go and click on that download button similar process here as well we want to navigate to the files tab as you can see bombs of play is only for Forge there are no fabric versions listed here so we just want to

Make sure we’re getting the 1.20.1 game version as well and then click on the three dots and click download file now this also requires Terra blender how do I know that well there’s two reasons one I’ve been doing this a while and I’ve installed this mod a lot two it says it

Right here requires Terra blender so make sure you read these pages and make sure you see exactly what you know is required for much so much don’t require anything Journey Back doesn’t require anything but Journey map bombs of plenty requires Terra blender as well we have this conveniently Linked In the

Description but it’s something to keep in mind files here is what we again want to navigate to we again want to make sure we’re getting the forge 1.20.1 version click the three dots and click download the download will then begin again after a few seconds you may need to keep or

Save any of these files bombs a plenty Journey map all that but it’s 100 safe to do do so as long as you’re using our links and making sure that you’re downloading them through our sources now unless we have everything downloaded we can go ahead and minimize our browser

Let’s move all of these files to our desktop so to do that click the little Windows icon it’s in the top left of my screen probably in the bottom left of your screen bottom server screen on Windows 11. type in downloads you have this downloads file folder open that up

And then in here you’ll find all the mods that you have downloaded for some reason mine took a second to load there but here we are Terra blender bombs with plenty of Journey map and forage drag and drop these to our desktop for ease of use once they are on the desktop now

I’m going to separate these out because what we need here is we need Forge first then we need our mod so we can kind of just take our mods and drag them out of the way over here because we don’t need them at the moment what we do need is

Forge so let’s go ahead and install Forge to do that right click on it click on open with click Java and click ok but Nick I don’t have Java well if you don’t have Java you need to get it from the link in the description specifically Java 17. Java 17 is required for

Minecraft mods and obviously that’s what we’re doing here this covers everything you need to know to get Java 17 even troubleshooting issues you may have along the way and it’s super super in-depth you may also need to run the jar fix this is going to take all the

Jar files from your computer and Link them back to Java but that really just depends on a case-by-case basis and after you install Java 17 if you’re still having issues install the jaw jar fix now let’s let’s go ahead and minimize our browser and we can right

Click on Forge click on open with click Java and click ok to open up the mod system installer for forage all you got to do to install Forge in Minecraft is Click install client and click OK Forge will now install now if you do any errors or issues during this part of the

Process most likely it’s one of two things one if Minecraft or the Minecraft launcher open this won’t work it may say it works but it won’t work it won’t install Forge close out of those completely reopen up Forge click that install button you’re good to go if you

Get an error at this point it doesn’t say complete something else happens here it might be because you’ve never played Minecraft 1.20.1 before if that’s the case go play it once you’ve played it come back open up forage click install and it will work you have to have played

Minecraft 1.20.1 before with no mods or anything and then you can install Forge go ahead and click OK we’ll close out of that we can delete Forge from our desktop now let’s get our mods installed to do this we want to open up Minecraft with Forge so go ahead open up the

Minecraft launcher if I can type and then in the Minecraft launcher what we want to do is make sure that we’re playing Minecraft with Forge every time you play Minecraft with your Minecraft mods you will need to play Minecraft with Forge so keep that in mind now here

We are in the Minecraft launcher as you can see Forge is automatically selected for us Forge it says 1.20.1 forge under it if you’ve got this you’re good to go click play Click play again but I promise at the beginning this was a comprehensive guide that means we’re

Going to troubleshoot a few issues and one might be that even if you click this drop down box you don’t have Forge in here if that’s the case you want to navigate to installations at the top then over here in the versions area make sure modded is checked as you can see if

You uncheck modded it’s not here you check modded Forge appears you’re good to go but if you still don’t have Forge or the 1.20.1 version of it click new installation you can answer if you want I’m gonna name it simple game hosting because that’s the easiest place to

Start a Minecraft server modded plugins vanilla whatever you want then for the the version drop down box here what we want to do is click on that and then select select release 1.20.1 Forge right here you want to make sure it’s the 1.20.1 version and that it’s forage for

Me it’s at the top you may need to scroll down and find it at the bottom it just depends on where that’ll be it can be random at times but mine was easy to find there for the resolution I’m going to change that you don’t have to I’m

Just doing it so you can see better once we get in game now click create and now we have this new simple game hosting.com profile that most importantly has 1.20.1 Dash forge under it hover over this click play Click play again and now Minecraft is going to open up with Forge

Installed from here it’s super easy to install your Minecraft mods the hardest part of getting mods is getting forged once you’ve got Forge the mod part is easy so we’ll go ahead we’ll meet you on the main menu to get these mods installed alright so here we are on the

Minecraft main menu now from the main menu you can easily see you’ve got fours in the bottom left here it says Forge but we also have this mods button that’s the important part go ahead and click on the mods button and then you have this open mods folder button in the bottom

Left go ahead and click on that open mods folder button and it will open up this year now all you’ve got to do to install mods in Minecraft is drag and drop your mods from the desktop here into this mods folder right like so now when you do that they’re not going to

Appear in Minecraft unfortunately in order to get them to appear in Minecraft we need to go ahead and click done and then actually quit the game right once we quit Minecraft we can open it back up so just go in here open up the Minecraft launcher and launch Minecraft you need

To launch Minecraft with Forge specifically though because anytime you want to play your Forge mods you need to play Minecraft with that Forge installation other than when you created or the one that was there by default does not matter in that regard but you need to make sure that you’re playing

Minecraft with Forge so we of course have the simple game hosting profile we created but if you had the forge one that would work as well click Play Click play again confirming you’re playing Minecraft mods and now when Minecraft opens your mods will be installed it’s actually kind of crazy how once you’ve

Got forage it’s so easy to get mods and the hard part’s done it’s loading the mods up right now it’s going through it’s doing everything you can actually see different stuff that might occasionally pop up with your mod name in this process which is kind of Nicole

I’m glad Ford’s brought that back but here we are we are now in Minecraft and if we go to mods we’ll see Terra blender but most importantly bombs of Pliny and journey map we can jump into a quick single player world here and check these out we’re generating a new world

Obviously because bombs of Plenty generates new biomes so we wanted to make sure that we are getting those and then once the world’s generated you’ll probably instantly but very quickly be able to see that not only is Journey map installed but bombs of Plenty is also installed it is worth noting that while

This is loading if you do have any issues with Minecraft mods we have an in-depth guide in the description on how to fix broken Minecraft mods so be sure to go check that out if you have any issues it’s 18 minutes of us just trouble using different modded issues

With Minecraft and it can really help out if you find yourself in a pinch with your mods that being said Minecraft is now open and sure enough we are definitely in biomes of Plenty you can press J as it says there to open up Journey map once you click close it’s

Going to load in the map around you I love Journey map because it shows such a large map and you have the full screen map there this right over here is it looks like we’re actually in a bombs with plenty biome now I think we are we

Are in the Mediterranean Forest you can see your biomes listed here but there are so many amazing biomes for biomes of Plenty and I really feel like this one doesn’t do a ton of justice but it is crazy how much this mod adds it’s actually one of my top recommendations

For Minecraft mods because it’s not super resource intensive especially once the world is generated but it adds in a ton of new building blocks a ton of new stuff like this look how beautiful this is here this is a lavender field and I have no clue what these trees are but I

Mean just truly stunning uh what you can do with bombs of Plenty and what it adds into the game I mean we’ve got new wood here we’ve got everything this is Jacaranda wood like what that is amazing and this is a lavender Forest so absolutely incredible and 100 something

That uh wow look at that Redwood forest everywhere that you should add into Minecraft we can obviously see here as well with journey map we’ve got the lavender Forest here we’ve got the Redwoods over here I believe I mean just crazy everything that we can see we can

See this Village here that we can go explore you’ve even got something right here maybe that’s another portal I believe so tons of amazing stuff that you can do with mods and these two are just two mods there’s thousands of amazing mods out there so nonetheless if
