Install the mods

Now that you have proceeded to download the mods on Minecraft you must proceed by going to install them. The procedure to be performed, it is good that you keep this in mind, is slightly different depending on whether the one you use to have fun with the famous game is a  Windows PC  or a  Mac. The procedure for installing mods on Minecraft can also be significantly different depending on the modified version of the game you have chosen to exploit. Consequently, before proceeding with the installation of the mods for Minecraft, I suggest that you carefully consult any indications attached to the website of the modified version of the game you have chosen to exploit. That said, let’s proceed!

If you use a Windows PC and want to install the mods downloaded on Minecraft, access  Windows Explorer by pressing the icon depicting a yellow folder attached to the  Taskbar,  then copy and paste the path indicated below into the address bar at the top and then press the Enter  button attached to the keyboard.

C: \ Users \ [username] \ AppData \ Roaming \ .minecraft

Now double click on the bin folder then select the minecraft.jar file with the right mouse button and from the context menu that is shown to you select the Open with option. Then choose to open the file using the compression utility available as standard on Windows.

Now presses again with the right mouse button on the minecraft.jar file and then select the Delete item from the menu that is shown to you.

Proceed by moving the Minecraft folder that has been added on the desktop to the  Minecraft bin folder opened in Windows Explorer then open the latter, then locate the META-INF folder, click on it with the right mouse button and choose the Delete item from the menu that it is shown to you.

Then double-click on the file of the mod for Minecraft previously downloaded (if it is a compressed archive, extract the files inside it indicating your willingness to use the compression utility) then select all the files inside and drag them in the mineacraft folder attached to the bin folder. If a window should be shown on the screen, indicate the fact that you are copying one or more files that already exist in the chosen location, press the Yes button.

Finally, change the extension of the Minecraft folder to  .jar. (you do not know how to do it, you can follow the instructions attached to my guide on  how to change the extension of a file ) in order to definitively complete the procedure by which to download the mods on Minecraft and install them, then start the game as you do normally on your PC.
