Make sure the mods are for the modloader you are using, version number of minecraft you are playing and that you have also downloaded any dependencies the mods need to run.

Twitch launcher has a mods section, and it's great for finding mod packs and mods to play with, and being able to do it in a safe way where you can't run into repost sites. I use the launcher all the time, and if you ever want another mod that isn't on curseforge, it's very simple to put it in.

Thanks to everyone who helped me, I’ve finally installed a mod pack on Minecraft

Do you play on the PC version because I have a very good way to install mod packs on pc

Go and download twitch on your pc go to the mods tab in twitch download what you want go to mc launcher click the arrow next to play button select your mod and play

make sure the mod is for forge and for the correct version of the game. the .jar just goes in the mods folder.

note: curseforge does not equal forge

Put mods in the mods folder. It's that easy.

Easier if you use a mod manager like curseforge

The very easy way would be to use Modrinth or CurseForge.

Just download the curseforge app, it's stupid easy with that

Use prism, it's easiest method

Google

First - make sure you are using the Java edition of Minecraft, not Bedrock.

Second - Use Twitch, it's the best way for beginners to get into modded - https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/How-to-Play-Minecraft-with-Twitch-App?language=en_US

(Assuming you are using PC version of Minecraft)

Now to get mods, normally you can use a modloader, such as forge, or even fabric. It really depends on the mods you want, most mods use Forge. To install either, you find the installer from the modloader's official site, and usually following the steps will get the mod installed

After that, there usually is a mods folder, in the .minecraft folder where you drop all the mods in.

Then, go into minecraft, and select versions, and use the modloader as your version, it should then detect the mods, and run them.

This is kind of vague, as it does depend on what modloader, version of Minecraft, and System you are using, but this should work as a general guide

Which version

Update** I did end up getting it to work thanks to a very helpful redditor

Consider using a third-party launcher like Prism for modded minecraft.

It streamlines the process by letting you install the correct version of Java, mod loader, modpacks, mods and dependencies from Curseforge and Modrinth directly in the launcher for the version of minecraft you select.

It will automatically keep instances isolated so you can't accidently open a world in the wrong version.

Usually I see a sub post to their home page that they are looking for more mods. Then you reach out and they ask you a few questions, kind of an interview. Then presto, your in.

Install Forge and then put your mods in %appdata%/.minecraft/mods. There are a lot of youtube videos on it that are sure to help you!

Get forge first

And optifine

You will need a modloader like Forge or Fabric installed in order to use mods

Setup for Forge:

Prerequisite: Java 8 (for forge 1.12.2) or Java 16

1. Assuming you have Java installed, go to https://files.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/ to grab the forge installer. select which version you want and click on installer
2. While on the adfocus page, DO NOT click on anything except the skip button on the top right. clicking on anything else will most likely give you a virus
3. Once done waiting, click on the skip button, and it will download. click keep on chrome, or just save on firefox
4. Double click the installer, or just open it. click install, wait a moment, and once it's done, just exit out of it
5. now go to the mc launcher, and find the forge profile. if not, make a new profile and find the forge version within the list
6. click play, and wait for it to load. then just exit out.

Adding Mods:

1. press win + r, and type in %appdata%
2. go to .minecraft --> mods. if it didnt make the mods folder, just create a new folder and name it mods
3. Go to wherever you get your mods (Curseforge is your best option), and find which one you want. click download, and drag and drop the mod into the mods folder.
4. startup forge again, and you are all set

​

Setup for Fabric:

1. This assumes you already have java installed. Go to https://fabricmc.net/use/ and get the .jar version. or the .exe version. it doesnt matter
2. double click on it, and select which version you want. then just click install
3. wait a bit, and now fabric is in the profile. if you have created the mods folder, take all of the forge mods out or if you dont have any, just leave it as is. Make sure to add the Fabric API within the mods folder, since most fabric mods will need it
4. go to the mc launcher, and start it up
5. and that's it. for adding mods, it's the same steps as for forge
