Best mods of all time for minecraft now not all these are the most recent version or anything like that because guess what that doesn’t matter when you talk about the best mods of all time and that is linked in the description down below there’s some pretty awesome

Ones in here but nevertheless how do you find your mods folder well i’m going to show you how to do it without using minecraft at all so we need to start on our desktop here just an empty desktop and we want to click on the little

Windows icon for me it’s in the top left of my screen probably in the bottom left of your screen click on that little windows icon in the top or bottom left of your screen and then go ahead and search for run are you in they then have this run app here so go

Ahead and click on that run app and then in this app you want to type percent sign app data percent sign so percent sign app data percent sign exactly like that and then hit enter that will then open up your roaming folder here where you’ll find a dot minecraft folder now

This is where you’ll find your mods folder right here it is now mine doesn’t have any mods in it but that’s where your mods folder is at it’s in your roaming.minecraft folder and then mods right there now if you don’t have a mods folder that means well it’s just not working correctly

You’ve never installed forge or fabric or any of the mods holders out there that install you know a mods folder with it so as you can see we have a mod folder because i’ve installed forge before and there it is now if you delete this

If you don’t have any mods in it when forge opens back up it will recreate mods there now we do have an in-depth force tutorial in the description down below so if you want to see how to get minecraft mods and stuff like that this tutorial is kept up to date it goes

Over everything it’s in the description but what if you have issues well the first reason you usually have issues running new mods in minecraft is you might have old mods from previous versions so make sure that you delete all of your old mods or at least move

Them to a separate folder move them out of the way of any mods you want to run in the most current version of minecraft now some people do this by actually going through and setting up different folders like the map of 1.16.2 1.12.2 1.10 something like that and then moving them

Around as they play on these different versions and get everything set up so that is an option that you do have for your mods folder but most likely if you’re having an issue with mods and you just updated a new version it’s because the old mods aren’t updated so

Get rid of those old mods in the mods folder here by moving them to another folder and then just leave the mods for the current version you’re trying to play forge or modded minecraft on and then it will work on top of that you may need

Java right so we do have in the description down below our in-depth java tutorial this is how to get java 4 nothing else but minecraft mod so you do need this in order to run minecraft mods it’s a simple three-step process and it should set you up good to go

However if you’re still having issues you could try to run the jar fix however most likely java’s gonna fix it for you if it is a java issue both of those links are in the description down below and they help millions and millions and millions of people

Get java set up correctly for minecraft mods so nevertheless those are kind of the two easy troubleshooting ways the last way is uh something that’s a lot of trial and error and it might be that the version that you’re using of your mod isn’t compatible with the

Specific version of forge not like the minecraft version but like that specific version of forge so you could try to use an older version or maybe a newer version of forge depending on you know if you’re not using the newest version try that one first and then you could try older versions of

Forge on the forged website to be able to see if you could get that set up now how do you find that well you go to our forest tutorial in the description down below scroll down click on the green download forge button and then when you’re here

You can see all the old versions of forge by clicking see all versions you can see when they released all that stuff it is all here all the way back to minecraft 1.1 by the way is listed here with all of those accidentally click the wrong button with all of those

Versions listed down here right like so so that is what you can do that is how you can find the most recent version or the you know test older versions of forge with the mod you have most likely though it’s going to be on the same version right so

It’ll be 1.16.2 for example but it might be this version down here that works for your particular mod but yeah that is a lot of trial and error and a lot of times it’s not worth it last but not least you can reach out to the mod developer

A lot of times via comments on cursed forge or via their discords for specific help with that particular mod that can help out a lot of times as well but there you have it that is how you can find your mods folder it’s very simple and very easy

Again you just want to click the little windows icon in the top left or bottom left of your screen and then go ahead and type in run and then have this run app here and then in this run app type percent sign app data percent sign so percent data percent exactly like that

Right there and then go ahead and click ok and then you’ll find your dot minecraft folder here right here so dot minecraft and then you’ll find your mods folder in here if you do have one you can then delete mods open up minecraft all that stuff
