Dear visitors of the site. Do you want to play not simple Minecraft, but mods? It is for you that I wrote this article. Today I want to tell you how to install a Minecraft mod.

To do this, we need to download the archiver from the site. Installing the modification is quite simple, any fourth-grader can handle it if he does everything according to the instructions. The most cool mods presented at the bottom of the article.

To start installing the mod, you need to download and install the ModLoader which you can find below. Have you installed it? We drove great.
There are two ways to install mods.
Open the minecraft directory. There are many ways to open it. Here are some of them:

1. Using "Windows Explorer" if in Russian using "Windows Explorer" C: / Users / Profile_name / appdata / Roaming / minecraft / bin.

2. Click the start menu and click (run), for Windows 7, you can simply press the "Win + R" key combination. And in the window that appeared on your monitor, we write: (% appdata%) - and click OK, if you did everything correctly, the "Minecraft" folder will appear, click, inside we find the "/ bin /" folder. Found it? Fine. We do not close anything.

3. Next step of minecraft mod:
In the "minecraft / bin" folder we find the "minecraft.jar" file - it is in this file that we put our "Mods". In order to install the mod, we need to open it with WinRar or any other archiver - I hope you have such programs on your computer, if they are not freely available on the Internet.

4. Next, open the archive with a previously downloaded archiver. Have you opened it? Ok, let's go further, it won't be long. When "minecraft.jar" is opened using one of the two above mentioned Archivers, delete the folder named "META-INF", it is nasty and makes our mods work! Be sure to delete this folder, otherwise the game will not start.

5. Now we take all the insides from our archive with the mod and drag everything into our archive called minecraft.jar, that is, install the mod. We go into the game, play and rejoice.

Attention! Mods for minecraft are different, some of them require already installed "Minecraft-Forge" in this case, the process of installing the mod is slightly different from the above.

The second way is how to install the mod.
Well, if you have met such a demanding mod, and you need to install the mod by all means, you need to find your minecraft in the folder just as we were looking for in the first case.
Have you opened it? Now in the minecraft folder we are looking for a mods folder called "mods" and into this folder we copy the mod (its insides), which we downloaded to the "site". All now we go into the game, we play. The next time you start the game - Forge will install the mod itself!
Well, if you still did not manage to launch the desired mod! You can also watch the video at the bottom of the article, where it is shown in detail with an example how to install mods on Minecraft.

Good day, dear visitors of the site. You have already learned how to play minecraft and now you want to learn how to install modifications on it. Therefore, in this article I will tell you how to install mods on minecraft using programs ModLoader and Minecraft forge .

But first, we will figure out what a mod is and why it is needed for the game. Fashion- these are additions to the game that are made by the players themselves, mods change, complement and improve the game. Therefore, it is much more interesting to play with them and the game itself will never get bored, because each mod brings something new to the world of minecraft. For example, you can add cars, planes, new mobs, biomes, worlds, weapons, tools, armor and many other things that diversify and so interesting world minecraft.

Where can I get these mods? You ask. The answer is very simple. On my site you can download any different version.

Well, now let's proceed to the very description of the correct installation of mods on the game. First you need to install these ModLoader and MC Forge mods. You cannot do without them, 95% of all mods require the installation of these add-ons, which are needed to install and robots of mods.

On my website, you can find instructions for installing it in the description for each mod. Because the installation of mods is not the same, but is individual.

And so we will continue. If the description for the mod says that you need Forge to install, then download and install it. With its help, it is easiest to install mods on the game.

Let's analyze further installation with forge everything in order:
1) To do this, you must first install this software;
2) Then download the mod;
3) Now you need to find the directory with the minecraft game itself:
- For Windows XP - "C: / Documents and Settings / * Your profile name * / Application Data / .minecraft /"
- For Windows 7, Vista - "C: / Users / * Your profile name * / AppData / Roaming / .minecraft /"
4) We find in the folder with the game called minecraft another folder mods, it appears after installing forge
5) Transfer the archive with the downloaded mod or jar file to the mods folder
6) Start the game and MC Forge will install the mod on the game by itself.

Installation with this program differs in that it is automatic and easier.

But if the description for your favorite mod says that you need ModLoader then let's get acquainted with installing mods using Modloder:
1) From the beginning, download and install ModLoader itself.
2) Now you need to find the folder again and play minecraft:
For Windows 7, Vista - "C: / Users / * Your profile name * / AppData / Roaming / .minecraft / bin"
For Windows XP - "C: / Documents and Settings / * Your profile name * / Application Data / .minecraft / bin"
3) Go to the bin folder where you will find a file called minecraft.jar. In it you will install your mods.
4) Open minecraft.jar using WinRaR or 7zip programs (this can be done by right-clicking on the file and selecting the "open with" function)
5) Next, open the archive with the mod and transfer its contents with the replacement of files to the middle of the minecraft.jar file
6) After these manipulations, delete the META-INF folder from minecraft.jar. This is necessary in order for the mod to work normally.

All now, if you did everything right, I can congratulate you, you installed your first mod! Then you can simply remember this information and install them yourself or save this page so you always know how to install mods.

We all know that installing mods on new Minecraft versions 1.9 / 1.8.8 / 1.7.10 differ from installing mods on older versions. The new launcher has changed the instructions for installing mods on Minecraft. Many people experience discomfort when installing mods, and some have no idea how to do it. But this guide will help you!

You will need:

  • Minecraft 1.8.4 (or another version, preferably fresh)
  • Minecraft Forge that matches your version Minecraft client
  • Risugami Modloader (optional, for easy installation of mods)
  • WinRAR (for working with files such as JAR / ZIP / RAR)

The note: This manual is suitable for Minecraft version 1.6.4, as well as for Minecraft versions 1.9, 1.8.8 and 1.7.10.

Instructions for installing Forge mods:

Most mods require Minecraft installations Forge.

Download latest version Minecraft Forge. Run the installer, and click. Complete the Minecraft Forge installation.

Now you need to launch your Minecraft launcher and select "Forge" on the right side of your profile. Enter your username and password and click. After a small download of the files, you will be taken to Minecraft. Close the game after this procedure.

Go to "Start", then find the "Run" command, enter "% appdata% /. Minecraft" there and press Enter. You will see a folder called "Mods", open it. Move the archive with the mod here to .zip permission. Don't remove it!

Now, start Minecraft again using the same Forge profile. By clicking on the button you will see everything installed mods to your Minecraft client.

Installation instructions for regular mods:

Installing the so-called Vanilla mods is a little tricky, but still simple.

Download any "vanilla" mod that will work on your version of Minecraft. For example, I downloaded the X-Ray mod.

You should now open your installed Minecraft.

Go to Start> Run> enter "% appdata% /. Minecraft / versions"> press Enter.

We do not have permission to go directly to the 1.6.4 folder and put the files in 1.6.4.jar, because new launcher forbids us to do this. Therefore, we must create a new profile (duplicate) of the original files, and rename them so that the launcher would interpret them in its own way.

Now, from the version folder. Make a copy of the "1.6.4" folder, and paste into the same folder. Now rename the copy of the folder to whatever name you like. For example, I named it "xray".

Open the "xray" folder and you will see two files, 1.6.4.jar and 1.6.4.json. You need to change these names.

  • Change 1.6.4.jar to xray.jar
  • Change 1.6.4.json to xray.json
Open 1.6.4.json file in any text editor, and change the "id" column from "1.6.4" to "xray".

Now open xray.jar file with WinRAR including Xray mod zip file that you downloaded.

Move content from Xraymod.zip file to XRAY.jar file. Necessarily: remove the META-INF folder from the JAR.

Now it remains to run Minecraft launcher, click "NewProfile" and enter a name. In the "Use version" box, select "release xray". And click "Save Profile".

Select the profile you just created. Log into your account and start Minecraft. Create new world, and go to single player or multiplayer and test the mod.

Instructions for installing mods using ModLoader:

You need any modloader for Minecraft.

Go to Start> enter "% appdata% /. Minecraft"> press Enter. Open the "mods" folder, and transfer any mod there, in the archive, with the .zip resolution.

Warning:

1. Before starting any manipulation with Minecraft, make a backup (just in case).

2. If you find any errors in the instructions, write in the comments.

So, you are not satisfied with the functionality of Minecraft, and you decided to expand it by installing mods. What needs to be done to successfully install mod for minecraft?

If your game has stopped working, you can always check the Force update checkbox in the launcher. This will re-download the game, and remove all modifications made earlier.

The choice of mods for this game is huge. The community has done a great job coming up with all these incredible things and implementing them into Minecraft. Here you can choose from high technologies, a huge set of weapons, and little people living their own lives, and aircrafts, railways, trains, incredible Redstone gadgets, and much, much more. So, having chosen the mod, you can proceed with the installation.

How to install a mod for Minecraft?

  1. Download the mod to your computer.
  2. Unpack it if zipped.
  3. Press the key combination win + r on the keyboard, or open Start-> Run.
  4. Enter% appdata% in the line that appears and press Enter.
  5. Go to Roaming ->. Minecraft-> bin folder.
  6. Open the minecraft.jar file with an archiver (for example, winrar).
  7. Remove the META-INF folder from it.
  8. Add all modification files to the archive, overwriting the existing ones.

After these steps, you can start Minecraft and play, explore new features, and of course use them for good. If your mod is intended for installation via modloader, then you just need to copy the zip or jar archive with the mod to the folder “../.minecraft/mods/”.
