This guide will show you how to properly install mods into your client/machine.
NOTE: If you have a Forge or Fabric modded server with a few mods added for example you need to also install Forge/Fabric and the mods into your client to be able to join.
Warning! Using A Modpack? If so, then you can usually search for a download of your modpack instead of following this guide!
Installing Forge
To install Forge you need to first download the installer from the official page.
After you downloaded the installer, just run it into your PC and install Forge.
Be sure to check the Install client
box.
Now you just installed Forge into your client. To launch it just open the Minecraft launcher and select Forge.
Installing Fabric
To install Fabric you need to first download the installer from the official page.
After you downloaded the installer, just run it into your PC and install the same Fabric version as the one on your server.
Make sure you have the Client option selected.
Now you just installed Fabric into your client. To launch it just open the Minecraft launcher and select the Fabric Profile.
Installing Mods
To add mods to your client, you need to open your local ‘mods’ folder and add all mods you want there. After doing so, just launch the game with Forge/Fabric, and your mods will be there.
To find your local ‘mods’ folder you need to go to your Minecraft installation folder. The default one can be found by doing the following:
- Press the Windows button and type
run
, then pressEnter
. - Type in the box that appears the following, then press
Enter
