Many people have questions about installations mods and various additions to them. In this blog I will try to describe in detail the process of modifying your client Minecraft.
Preparation
Perhaps the simplest thing is that at this step you just need to download the archive with the mod. First you need to select the desired version of the mod that you want to install.Extraction
What archive did you download? This *.zip or *.jar file, or maybe some other type of archive.Files with the extension *.zip, *.7z And *.rar- these are archives, which in turn should contain mods. Such archives will most likely have to be unzipped before installation.
*.jar files are the mod itself
First, open the archive and look for the file ReadMe. If it is not there, then you need to know several possible installation options.
- Create a folder if the files from the archive are not grouped in the archive itself in a separate folder (for example, if the archive contains folders textures, sounds, different files, then grouping into a new folder is necessary, if this is not indicated on the site from where you downloaded the mod), move the files from the archive to the new folder.
- If the files in the archive are grouped into one folder, for example the folder Flans-mod-1.5.2, then it is not necessary to create another one for this folder
- If the archive contains only 1 file called minecraft.jar, then you can try replacing .jar your client file, which is located in the folder bin.
Installation
Finally, let's look at several options for installing mods and their add-ons:- Installation of *.exe file- to install the mod using the installer, you just need to run the executable *.exe file and follow the installation instructions. After installing the client in this way, shortcuts will most likely be created to launch Minecraft on Desktop or in Main menu.
- Installing mods in minecraft.jar- open your .jar file using an archiver WinRAR or 7-Zip, select option add files to archive, select the necessary mod files and install them and transfer them directly to your minecraft.jar. In this case, it is also necessary to delete the directory META-INF from .jar.
- Installing Forge Compatible Mods- install Forge for the desired version of Minecraft, find the folder Mods and copy the previously prepared folder into it.
- Installing add-ons- install the required mod, without which the add-on will not work. Then launch Minecraft at least once. After launch, a mod folder should appear where you need to add add-ons. Place the add-on folder there.
- You can also download, this is a special launcher that allows you to minecraft.jar install mods.
Possible bugs and errors
After installing mods, various errors occur. Let me give you a couple of examples:- Crush- after installation and launch of the mine, a window with crash report oh? Try reinstalling the mod or installing it in a different way. If the problem does not fix, download the mod from another site.
- Black screen- another possible error if the mod is installed incorrectly. Try reinstalling the mod.
- Crash in the game- perhaps you tried to combine the capabilities of several mods. Take note of what actions are accompanied by a crash and do not repeat them.
- No items from mod- a common problem. Perhaps you did not install the mod correctly, or did not load the root mod. Try reinstalling the mod using other methods.
- If problems with mods persist, try searching for detailed information on the Internet. Surely someone has already experienced similar problems.

First download and install ModLoader. Now you need to go to the Minecraft directory. There are several ways to do this...
- Using Explorer, go to C:/Users/Your_profile_name/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft/bin.
- Open the Start menu and click Run; if you have Windows 7, you can use the Win+R key combination. In the window that appears, enter %appdata% and click OK, in the folder that opens we see .minecraft, open it, and then the /bin folder.
In the /.minecraft/bin folder we look for the file minecraft.jar - this is where we will place our mods. To do this, we will need to open it using the WinRaR or 7zip archiver - this can be done by right-clicking on the file and selecting WinRaR in the "Open with..." dialog menu.
Now that minecraft.jar is open, the first thing you should do is delete the META-INF folder - it can cause conflicts in the operation of some mods.
There's one last step left. We take the contents of the archive with our mods and simply drag and drop all the files into the minecraft.jar archive!
P.S. For some mods, the installation process may vary, so read the mod description carefully, you can always find installation instructions there.
If the mod you are installing requires a pre-installed Minecraft Forge, then the installation process will be slightly different...
You still need to find the Minecraft folder, just like with the method above. Found it? Now in the .minecraft folder, we find the mods folder - you need to copy the downloaded mod into it. All! The next time you load the game, Forge will automatically install the modification.

Good day, dear site visitors. 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’ll figure out what a mod is and why it’s needed for the game. Mods- 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 boring 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 will diversify the already interesting world of minecraft.
Where can I get these mods? You ask. The answer is very simple. On my website you can download any different versions.
Well, now let’s get down to the actual description of how to properly install mods on the game. First you need to install these ModLoader and MC Forge mods. You can’t do without them; 95% of all mods require the installation of these add-ons, which are needed to install robot mods.
On my website you can find instructions for installing it in the description of each mod. Because the installation of mods is not the same, but individual.
And so we will continue. If the description for the mod says that Forge is needed for installation, then download and install it. It is the easiest way to install mods for the game.
Let's look further installation using forge everything in order:
1) To do this, you need to install this software first;
2) Then download the mod;
3) Now you need to find the directory with the Minecraft game:
- 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) Find another folder in the game folder called .minecraft mods, it appears after installing forge
5) Transfer the archive with the downloaded mod or jar file to the mods folder
6) Launch the game and MC Forge will install the mod for the game.
Installation using this program is different in that it is automatic and simpler.
But if the description for your favorite mod says that it needs ModLoader then let’s take a look at installing mods using Modloader:
1) From the beginning, download and install ModLoader itself.
2) Now you need to find the folder and the minecraft game again:
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. This is where you will install your mods.
4) Open minecraft.jar using WinRaR or 7zip (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 replace the files with its contents in the middle of the minecraft.jar file
6) After these manipulations, delete the META-INF folder from minecraft.jar. This is necessary for the mod to work properly.
That's it, 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.

How to install mods on Minecraft 1.5.2
To install mods in Minecraft 1.5.2 on your computer, you need to find the "bin" folder in the installed client directory.
If Windows 7, Vista, 8 is installed on your computer, you need to go to the path C:/Users/"Username"/ApData/Roaming/.minecraft/bin.
With the Windows XP operating system, you need to go to C:/Documents and Settings/"User name"/Application Data/.mineсraft/bin.
The username is different for everyone, it is the name of your current profile on your computer. If you haven't changed it, the default is usually your device brand.
Go to the "bin" folder and find the minecraft.jar file.
If you are not an experienced PC user and are afraid of ruining something while installing mods, we strongly recommend that you first copy the minecraft.jar folder and save it in another location so that you can restore all the data to the original state of the game.
To make changes, open the file in the game folder using any archiver by right-clicking on it. At the same time, run the archive of the downloaded mod in another window.Select all the files and transfer them to minecraft.jar using the copy and paste commands.Find the META-INF file and delete it. Without this action, you will only see a black screen instead of the game.
After you install mods in Minecraft according to the instructions, you can simply launch the client and enjoy the new features.
It is important to note that with mods in Minecraft version 1.5.2 and higher, you will not be able to use additional texture packs, otherwise the use of new features will be prohibited, although formally they will be present in the game.
How to install mods on Minecraft 1.6.4
To install mods on Minecraft 1.6.4, you should do approximately the same as in the previous case. The only difference is that if there is a “resources” tab in the mod folder, you need to do the following:
Open the "resources" folder, select all the files in it with the mouse, copy and paste it into the folder of the same name in the game directory;
Copy the mod files except for the above folder and transfer them to minecraft.jar, opened using an archiver;
Remove meta-inf.
After installation is complete, close all open dialog boxes and use the Minecraft client.

To install mod 1.7.2 in Minecraft, you must initially add special utilities ModLoader and AudioMod to the game folder. They are built in according to the same scheme as regular mods.
To do this, if the game was installed in the default folder, go to the "Start" panel and click "Run". Enter %appdata%/.minecraft into the line.
The game folder will open in front of you, find the “bin” directory in it, and the minecraft.jar file in it. Right-click on it and select "Open Archive".
In another dialog box, use the same mouse to open the archive of the mod you want to install and move all the files to the open game folder.
Sometimes the archiver asks for confirmation of replacing files, confirm your consent.
If there is a META-INF folder in minecraft.jar, delete it so that the Minecraft 1.7.2 client works correctly after installing mods.
How to install cheats in Minecraft
