Installing Mods with CurseForge
Hey guys, welcome to this tutorial on how to easily install mods and mod-packs in Minecraft. In this tutorial, we’ll be utilizing a software called CurseForge to install mods. At the end of the video, I’ll also demonstrate how to install mods manually. Let’s begin by typing CurseForge into your Google search bar.
Choose the first link and download CurseForge. Complete the installation as directed. Upon launching CurseForge, select Minecraft, then proceed with the suggested option. Here, you can search for various mods and mod-packs.
Generating a Custom Profile
Next, we’ll generate a custom profile for our modded Minecraft. Note, it’s often best to use a version slightly older than the latest release, as some mods may not be compatible with the newest updates. Here, I’ll go with version 1.18.2. This action will prompt an automatic download of the chosen version, as well as the fitting Forge Mod-Loader and Java version.
Once completed, it’s time to start adding mods. I’ll use Just Enough Items as an example. Ensure it’s compatible with your chosen version, meaning it supports your selected version or a newer one. Click Install and assign it to your newly created profile. That’s all! Now you simply hit Play and it’s game on. This action initiates the modded Minecraft launcher. A re-login might be necessary. Remember to select the profile you just created. The download may take a few minutes. Once done, you’ll see your modded Minecraft, and within the mods section, you’ll find Just Enough Items installed and ready to go.
Installing Mod-Packs
Should you fancy a mod-pack, the installation process is quite similar. Identify your preferred mod-pack, click Install, and once fully downloaded, hit Play. Make sure to select the right profile, and be aware that mod-packs might take a bit longer to load. You can see, it’s up and running now.
Manually Installing Mods
Lastly, let me demonstrate how to manually install mods, for those who prefer a hands-on approach. Search Minecraft Forge download on Google and download the preferred version. Upon download completion, navigate to your Downloads, right-click the file and choose Open with Java Platform. If this option isn’t visible, you may need to install Java. You can simply download Java and install it from the primary link. Note, if you haven’t downloaded the game version yet, you may encounter an error. This can be fixed by downloading the relevant version in Minecraft. If it isn’t the latest, you can still add it in this way. Reopening the Forge file, you’ll notice the error has vanished. Click Install Client to install it. Now Forge is installed and functioning properly.
To add a mod, navigate to the mods folder. An easy way to find it is to open the Forge version of Minecraft, navigate to mods, and open the mods folder from there. Alternatively, input app data in the Windows search bar. There’s your mods folder. Searching Forge mods on Google should be your next step. Apply a filter to show mods that match your version. In this case, Just Enough Items has a beta version compatible with mine. Download it and drag the downloaded JAR file into the mods folder. Relaunch the Forge version of Minecraft, and you’ll see the mod in action.
