Installing mods on Minecraft is a fairly simple process, although it seems complicated to many users. With our instructions, you will learn how to install Forge and configure any mod. The game will become more interesting due to new items - small and large.
What is needed for this?
We need the game version 1.6 itself (it is recommended to use the version below, but 1.6 will work too), a special launcher, the mods themselves (there are a lot of them, most of them are available on the Internet for free), as well as Forge. Below we will describe how to install Forge and use it to install mods. But first things first.
How to install mod with Forge: instructions
First of all, download the Tlauncher program from the official site. Thanks to this launcher, we will not need to produce a lot of unnecessary actions.
Next, proceed as follows:
- We find on the web the mod that we want to install. There are a lot of them, so it is not necessary to be limited to one. You can download several mods at once, but we will install them sequentially. By the way, pay attention to the description of add-ons. Some of them may be outdated, that is, developed for older versions of the game. It is important that the version of the mod matches the version of the game. Of course, sometimes the versions of mods and games may not coincide, but at the same time work successfully. But it is better that they coincide.
- Download your favorite add-ons to your computer. The folder is not important, you can even download them to your desktop.
Now find out how to install in Minecraft Forge using the launcher:
- Open our downloaded launcher and find Forge (it will certainly be present in the list of versions). It is important to choose Forge of the same version as the downloaded mod itself. For example, if you download the popular EnderBags mod version 1.10.2, then in the launcher you need to select Forge 1.10.2 for installation as well.
- Now open the game folder. It is where you installed the game. If you are too lazy to look, then just click on the folder icon in the launcher itself, from where we just installed Forge. So you will immediately find yourself in the correct directory.
- In the directory with the game there is a folder Mods. It is created immediately after installing Forge (any version). We open it and copy the mod itself downloaded from the Internet with the extension .jar or .rar .
- Launch the launcher again and enter Forge. The menu has a mods button. Click it and there we see the installed mod. This means that he has already appeared in the game, and now you can try to play the Minecraft game with the new mod. In the same way, we install all subsequent modifications that you like.
Now you know how to install Forge and mods for the game. There is nothing complicated or incomprehensible in this method.
Possible difficulties
It is worth noting that the installation of mods will not always occur as smoothly as described in this method. Sometimes the modifications themselves can be inoperative or problematic. For example, some developers pack mods in .zip format, and we need .rar or .jar. In this case, the extension needs to be changed.
If the modification cannot be installed even after changing the extension, then simply delete it and look for a new one, because the problem may not always be with you. Sometimes corny developers "mow" and release non-working modes. Now that you know how to install Forge and mods, enjoy the great features of the game.
