Nov 02, 2010 Mac Save Files: Stored in /Library/Application Support/minecraft ( “” = username) Linux Save Files: Stored in – to be added – (enter locate.minecraft into shell and you should find them) Published: Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010 Last Modified: July 13, 2011. Locate the Minecraft application folder. On windows open Run from the start menu type%appdata% click Run. On mac open finder, hold down ALT click Go then Library in the top menu bar. Open the folder Application Support look for Minecraft. Place the mod you have just Bookshelf API Library Mod downloaded (.jar file) into the Mods folder. I'm playing on a mac, and I've found little to no support for my issues (both psychological and technological). When I try to access the Minecraft files in the Library of my Mac, the 'minecraft' file doesnt show up. Im looking in the 'Library/Application Support/ folder, where there SHOULD be a Minecraft folder, but none is to be found.

1Installing 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.

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
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 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

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
Download the Fabric API
Download the desired mods
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
Copy your mods and the Fabric API to the following folder:
Windows: %appdata%.minecraft/mods
Linux: ~/.minecraft/mods
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods
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

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

Download your desired mods
Open your 'MODS' folder

Drop all of the mod downloads to this [version] folder.
Open MC and run your Forge profile

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.

Using a fresh 1.12.2 profile, open Minecraft to the main menu. Then close minecraft.

- When you get to the main minecraft window you can close minecraft.
Download the 1.12.2 Liteloader installer
Locate the file in your downloads and run the installer

Run the Minecraft launcher

If the installation process did not create a 1.12.2 folder in your mods folder, go ahead and make one now
Drop all of the mod downloads to this 1.12.2 folder.
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.
