How to Uninstall Minecraft Mods

TL;DR To uninstall Minecraft mods, locate the mods folder in your Minecraft directory and remove or rename the mod files.

Locating the Mods Folder

The first step in uninstalling Minecraft mods is to locate the mods folder. On Windows, you can do this by pressing Windows + R, typing %appdata%, navigating to .minecraft, and then opening the mods folder [1:1]. This folder contains all the installed mods as .jar files.

Removing Mod Files

Once you've found the mods folder, you can simply delete the mod files that you want to uninstall [2:2], [3:1]. If you're concerned about losing the mod permanently, you can move the file to another location on your computer instead of deleting it [1:1].

Disabling Mods Without Deletion

If you prefer to disable a mod without deleting it, you can change the file extension from .jar to something else, like .disabled [2:1], [2:4]. However, some users have reported that this method does not always work [2:3]. Ensure that file extensions are visible in your file explorer settings before attempting this method.

Considerations for Mod Dependencies

Be aware that removing certain mods may affect other mods that depend on them. For example, if you uninstall a mod that another mod relies on, you may encounter errors when launching Minecraft [4:3]. In such cases, you may need to either reinstall the dependent mod or find an alternative solution.

Impact on Saved Games

Uninstalling mods can potentially corrupt saved games if those games were created with the mods active [5:2]. It's advisable to back up your game saves before removing any mods, especially if they significantly alter gameplay elements.

To remove mods you go into the mod folder that’s inside the minecraft folder then you find the file for that mod and delete it

Close the game (completely) -> find where you installed it -> find the mods folder -> cut/paste that mod .jar file out of that folder (or change the extension to something other than .jar...like .disabled or something).

Note that if you've already created a world using that mod and try to play that world without it your game might crash (or it might be fine, only one way to find out!).

go into the mod folder and add a ".disabled" or really anything on to the end of the jar's fine name. Make sure you have file extensions turned on.

Just delete all your Gorilla Tag files and uninstall/reinstall. That will confirm the removal of the mods but will not affect your ban in any way.

how would it I don't understand its a mod deleting it wouldn't do anything why would deleting a file that wasn't there until you added it be messing with the files adding the mod is more likely to do something than deleting a file that isn't even on the base vanilla bonelab

(I know this post was a year ago but to all the people trying to figure it out)

On PC, you need to press the Windows key, type "%appdata%", next in the file location/directory up top click appdata, click locallow, scroll down till you find stress level zero, click mods and delete any ones you don't want.

On Quest, all you need to do is follow this simple tutorial: Tutorial

Install them again then press ctrl + Z, it removes the folders and files that you copied last.

Parenegade · OP · 25 days ago

Oh wow that's a cool way to go about it. Are any of these files overwriting vanilla ones though? Like am I going to be missing vanilla files if I just delete these? I notice the instructions say to "overwrite files if asked".

2 upvotes on reddit
halker2010 · 25 days ago

Most files that go in generate folder aren't vanilla to begin with, what's most likely is gonna happen in the worst case scenario, If you try to remove a patch of a mod from the game you remove partial parts of the main mod as well but its very unlikely because most patches come in pak form not lose files.

some mods like unique tav and its tattoos or make ups use loose files.

How to uninstall minecraft mods

Here are the steps to uninstall Minecraft mods:

  1. Locate the Mods Folder:

    • Open your Minecraft installation directory. This is usually found in:
      • Windows: C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\mods
      • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods
      • Linux: ~/.minecraft/mods
  2. Identify the Mod:

    • In the mods folder, look for the mod files you want to uninstall. These files typically have a .jar or .zip extension.
  3. Delete the Mod Files:

    • Select the mod files you wish to remove and delete them. You can right-click and choose "Delete" or simply press the Delete key on your keyboard.
  4. Check for Configuration Files:

    • Some mods may create configuration files in the config folder located in the same .minecraft directory. If you want to completely remove all traces of the mod, check and delete any related files in the config folder.
  5. Launch Minecraft:

    • Start Minecraft to ensure that the mod has been successfully uninstalled. If the game runs without issues, the mod has been removed.

Important Notes:

  • Always back up your game files before making changes, especially if you have saved worlds or custom settings.
  • If you're using a mod manager (like Forge or Fabric), ensure that the mod is also removed from the mod manager interface if applicable.

Recommendation: If you're frequently installing and uninstalling mods, consider using a mod manager like CurseForge or MultiMC. These tools simplify the process and help you manage your mods more efficiently.
