Installing Client Mods

MultiMC

MultiMC is a free, open source launcher for Minecraft. It allows you to have multiple, cleanly separated instances of Minecraft (each with their own mods, texture packs, saves, etc) and helps you manage them and their associated options with a simple and powerful interface.

  1. Set up MultiMC
    1. Download MultiMC here for your operating system
    2. Log in (top right) using your desired account(s)
    3. On the top left, click "Add Instance"
    4. Select the minecraft version you wish to install and hit OK
  2. Download and Install Mods
    1. Download the desired mods - make sure to select the Fabric or Forge version, you can't mix & match
    2. Once the instance is installed right click on it and choose "Edit Instance"
    3. Under the "Version" menu, on the right select either:
      • Install Fabric
      • Install Forge
    4. On the left side click Loader mods
    5. On the Right side of the mods menu click Add
    6. Navigate to the mods you've downloaded and select them, then click OK


Misc MultiMC Notes

  • You may need to update your java version
    • THIS LINK will take you to the generic Java JDK 22 page, and THIS PAGE should take you to the download.
    • Download the version you need and save it to your java folder, then point your MultiMC instance to the required version.
  • you can check/uncheck mods to include/exclude them from your instance (helpful for testing)
  • You can add resource packs directly from the "edit instance" menu
  • You can add/edit server connections directly from the "edit instance" menu
  • You can add notes on an instance directly from the "edit instance" menu
  • Instances can have different icons
  • You can split instances into different "groups" for ease of organization

Fabric

Used for 1.14+ clients

  1. Download the Fabric Installer Jar for [current version]
    • Click the button that says VANILLA
    • Choose the build you want (tested on 0.5.2.39 but the most recent should work)
    • Click Download Installer (Windows/.EXE) for windows; or Download Installer (Universal/.JAR) for Mac
  2. Download the Fabric API
  3. Download the desired mods
  4. Find the Fabric Installer jar file and double click it
    • select the version of minecraft you want to run and click INSTALL, this will create a new minecraft profile
  5. Copy your mods and the Fabric API to the following folder:
    Windows: %appdata%.minecraft/mods
    Linux: ~/.minecraft/mods
    MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods
  6. Open your minecraft launcher and run the FABRIC profile thats been created

NOTE: Mod files must be in the /mods/ folder to be read, not in any subfolder (i.e. split by versions). If you have mods from multiple versions/launchers you'll have to add/remove them as necessary to launch. You *can* put them into a subfolder and fabric will ignore them.

Forge

Forge is updated through 1.15.2

  1. Using a fresh profile, open Minecraft to the main menu. Then close minecraft.
  2. Download the Forge installer
  3. Locate the file in your downloads and run the installer (choose “install client” and hit OK)
  4. Run the Minecraft launcher
    • Choose the FORGE profile, and hit PLAY.
    • When you get to the main minecraft window you can close minecraft.
  5. Download your desired mods
  6. Open your "MODS" folder
    Windows: %appdata%.minecraft/mods
    Linux: ~/.minecraft/mods
    MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods
  7. If the installation process did not create a [version] folder in your mods folder, go ahead and make one now
  8. Drop all of the mod downloads to this [version] folder.
  9. Open MC and run your Forge profile
  10. Choose your server and enter the game

NOTE: Mod files should be in the /mods/[version] folder to be read. If you have mods for multiple versions simply create a version folder withing /mods/ and the launcher will keep them separate.

Forge & LiteLoader

Liteloader is not updated past 1.12.2

  1. Using a fresh 1.12.2 profile, open Minecraft to the main menu. Then close minecraft.
  2. Download the 1.12.2 Forge installer
  3. Locate the file in your downloads and run the installer (choose “install client” and hit OK)

  6. Locate the file in your downloads and run the installer
    • when it asks you which profile to install using the EXTEND FROM box choose 1.12.2-forge profile that was created (this will chain them together to allow both forge and liteloader mods) - then hit OK
  7. Run the Minecraft launcher
    • select the “Liteloader 1.12.2 with Forge 1.12.2” profile and hit PLAY.
    • When you get to the main minecraft window you can close minecraft.
  8. Download your desired mods
  9. Open your "MODS" folder
    Windows: %appdata%.minecraft/mods
    Linux: ~/.minecraft/mods
    MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods
  10. If the installation process did not create a 1.12.2 folder in your mods folder, go ahead and make one now
  11. Drop all of the mod downloads to this 1.12.2 folder.
  12. Open MC and run your Forge + Liteloader profile
    you can rename by clicking selecting the “Liteloader 1.11.2 and Forge 1.11.2” profile on the bottom left of your screen and hitting “Edit Profile” > enter a new name into the header > hit save
    You can delete any unneeded profiles from installation at this time as well (i.e. forge and any older versions you don’t need anymore) by clicking the Profile Editor at the top of the launcher, and right # clicking the profile you want to delete. You wont need the vanilla 1.11.2 profile or “forge” after the installation is complete.
  13. Choose your server and enter the game

NOTE: Mod files should be in the /mods/[version] folder to be read. If you have mods for multiple versions simply create a version folder withing /mods/ and the launcher will keep them separate.
