Step 1: What Is a Mod?

A Mod, simply, is an 'addon' made for Minecraft that normally adds items into the game.

There are thousands of mods, some add cars, chocolate milk, coffee, or even space!

Basically, anything you can think of there is a mod for it, even Star Wars, which is very cool:

In this instructable, we will install a popular mod called 'MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod'

and 'Mo'Creatures mod'

MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod adds objects like: a stove,toaster,microwave,shower,couch and even a TV.

Mo'Creatures Mod adds animals like: turkeys, zebras, sharks, dolphins, and insects.

Installing Mods may ruin Minecraft, which is Highly unlikely. If so re-install Minecraft.

Continue at your own risk.

Step 2: Installing the Forge

To install a mod, you need to download Minecraft Forge.

Forge makes it possible for the mods to connect to Minecraft.

To install Forge, click this link to their site: Minecraft Forge

Select on the side panel of the website the version of Minecraft you are using, otherwise the mods won't work.

For this tutorial, we will use 1.12.2 which is the latest version of Minecraft at this time.

Click the Recommended Windows Installer button for Windows, Or for Mac

the Installer button (it looks like a bin)

Now open the file and select the 'Install Client' than click OK.

You finished installing Forge!

Step 3: Download Your Mods

You can download any mod you like as long As it matches the Forge and Minecraft version you are using!

For this tutorial we will install MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod and Mo'Creatures Mod.

Click the links to the websites:

Custom Mob Spawner Mod (needed for Mo'Creatures to work)

Scroll down to find the download links, and click 1.12.2 on each website to download them.

Your browser might say they may be harmful and ask you if you want to keep them, if so click 'Keep'

Step 4: Installing Mods

Installing a Mod is very simple it is just a matter of copying and pasting.

But, first we will make a backup of your worlds just in case the mods ruin them.

To do this we will press the Windows key and R. Then enter this into the Run box:

%appdata%.minecraft

This will open the folder where Minecraft is.

On Mac copy and paste this into the path directory:

~/Library/Application Support/minecraft

Now copy and paste the 'saves' folder to the desktop, this is the backup. If your worlds get ruined, just delete the saves folder and copy the saves folder from the desktop to the Minecraft folder.

This has never happened to me yet in my years of using mods, but I do it as a precautionary measure :)

Now in the same Minecraft folder, make a new folder and name it 'mods' (lowercase)

Now drag and drop the 3 (three) mods you downloaded into this folder.

You finished installing your Mods!

Step 5: Run Minecraft

To run Minecraft with Mods, open you Minecraft Launcher,

If you have the old launcher, you should see 'Version' in the bottom left corner, click the box than scroll down to '1.12.2 Forge' It may have numbers next to it as well, but ignore those.

Click 'Play'

In the new Minecraft Launcher click 'Launcher options' select 'Add New' and name it 'Forge'.

You should see 'Version', click the box next to it, scroll down and select '1.12.2 Forge'. Then click 'Save'.

Next to the play button, there is an arrow, click it and select the Forge profile you created, then click 'Play'

Have fun and enjoy your Mods!

Step 6: The End

When installing Mods, normally add them one by one, and test Minecraft to see if they work, because sometimes Minecraft will crash because it doesn't like the mod and you'll be fishing for the mod that keeps crashing the game.

If you want to install a mod that uses an older Minecraft version, you will need to install Forge for that version as well. And make sure to remove all the old mods from the mods folder because they only work with the newer version of Minecraft.

Thanks for reading this tutorial, I hope it helped :)

Modding is a great way to customize your experience in the game, and mods allow players to inject their own creativity into their open Minecraft worlds. One of the great things about Minecraft modding is that anyone and everyone can add their own spin on things. You have the ability to create your own mods, share them with the community, and gain notoriety for creating some cool in-game ideas! Additionally, you can also download, install, and remix other player-made mods, creating a constant evolution of the ways to play the game.

So, How Do You Download & Install Mods in Minecraft?

Unless your writing unique code from scratch and building your own mod, the best way to start to experience this world of customization is to download other players already-created mods. After downloading, you can then easily install them into your game and begin using them immediately! Follow the instructions below.

Downloading Mods

Thousands of people from around the world are sharing their mods every day. To download a Minecraft mod, go to a trusted site like MinecraftMods or your LearnToMod account, browse the list of user-created mods, and click on one that you find interesting. You can read its description to find out more, then click the Code or Download button, and add a copy of it in your own LearnToMod account.

Installing Mods

Once you have downloaded the mod that you want, it’s time to install it into your game so that you can begin using it. Each mod may have a unique installation guide associated with it, but for most popular mods, you can use a tool called Minecraft Forge for help with installation. To install a Minecraft mod, follow these steps:

1. Make a backup file of your Minecraft world. It’s important to save your existing world in case the something goes wrong with the new mod. This will allow you to have access to your original folder and preserve your original game, settings, and creation.
2. Download Minecraft Forge. This third-party tool will help with easily adding mods to your different Minecraft worlds. Next time you launch the game, you should have a new profile entitled Forge. Logging into this will provide access to a new menu option called Mods, where you can apply them to your new gameplay.
3. Download compatible mods. Make sure you have your newly downloaded add-ons ready to be accessed. We will need to move these to a new folder for complete installation.
4. Install mods by copying the files into the /mods/ folder.
5. Select your mods and run them. Once you run your mods, you will see them applied directly to your game!

Customizing Other Players Mods

An extra challenge for you is to try to figure out how to add something neat to a mod that someone else has made. Follow these steps:

1. Test the mod to see what it does, and compare that to what it is supposed to do.

2. Read the code, and draw it out. (It’s sort of the reverse step of designing code.)

3. Design one addition to the code and figure out where it should go (for example, in its own function or inside another function).

4. As you add code, test, test, test!

After you have remixed the mod, share it with everyone else on the LearnToMod site to see how other coders can take it even further.
