Installing Minecraft modsĬlose Minecraft while leaving your mods folder open. You can access this through Windows Explorer, but our way is much, much easier. Next, look for where it says ‘open mods folder’. Once you hit the main title screen, the one where you create a new world or play around with options, there should be an option marked ‘mods’. Then it’s just a case of heading back to the main screen with ‘play’ on, and to the left is another dropdown box where you can select the Forge version you want to play. Next click on ‘new’ and there should be a drop down box, which once clicked, shows not only all the previous different iterations of Minecraft, but also your Forge versions you’ve downloaded.Ĭlick on the Forge you want and save it, then the launcher will download the corresponding version. To do this, open the Minecraft launcher and click on ‘installations’.

If, say, your chosen mod is for version 1.12, you’ll need to manually add it to Minecraft after downloading and installing it. Just click on the Java file once it’s downloaded and install it. If you’re on Chrome, it may say Forge is a virus. If the mod you’ve got is for version 1.15.2, then download Forge version 1.15.2. Head on over to the Minecraft Forge website (opens in new tab) and download the version of Forge that’s compatible with your chosen mods.
