There are several ways to install and run mods in Minecraft. Let’s take a look at the most trusted and common among the Minecraft modding community: 

  • First, you need to download a Minecraft launcher that loads mods into the game. Although there are a number of launchers out there, Forge and Fabric are the top choices among them.
  • Once the launcher is downloaded, set the Minecraft version and the launcher version based on your suitability and hit install. 
  • Now the launcher is installed, the next step is to download mods. Curseforge or Modrinth are some of the best places to find tons of mods. 
  • After downloading the mods, navigate to the following path: Users/[yourname]/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft
  • Open the ‘mods’ folder and paste the mods in it. If there is no folder named ‘mods’, create a new one with the same name. 
  • Now, open the launcher. Choose your launcher as active in the installation selection option on the home page. 
  • Hit ‘Play’, and you are done. Your mods will now be applied and take effect.
