Last updated
So, you’re diving into the endless world of Minecraft and want to spice it up with some mods, huh? Well, you’re in the right place to figure out how to download mods on PC for Minecraft.
Mods can transform your Minecraft experience by adding new creatures, environments, and gameplay mechanics. Let’s get into how to do it!
Step-by-step Guide to Downloading Mods
First things first, you need to find a reliable source for Minecraft mods. Websites like CurseForge, Planet Minecraft, and the Minecraft Forum are great places to start. Make sure you download mods that are compatible with your version of Minecraft.
Once you’ve found a mod you like, download the .jar or .zip file. Next, you’ll need to install Minecraft Forge, a modding API that makes installing mods a breeze. Head over to the official Forge website, download the installer for your version of Minecraft, and run it. Follow the instructions to install Forge.
Placing the Mod in the Right Folder
After installing Forge, open the Minecraft Launcher and switch to the Forge profile. Then, start Minecraft to let Forge configure itself and close the game.
Now, press the Windows Key + R, type %appdata%\.minecraft\mods, and press Enter. This opens the mods folder. Drag and drop the downloaded mod files into this folder. Restart Minecraft using the Forge profile, and voila, your mods should be active!
