Automatic Installer for Windows
Many Minecraft players who put a lot of mods on the game are faced with the problem of incompatibility of these modifications, which sometimes leads to the need to reinstall the game or lose saves. In addition, many mods have settings that can be changed in configuration files, which is inconvenient to do.
To avoid these problems, you can use several tools through which mods are loaded and run. At the same time, they solve the problem of compatibility and customization. This not only makes mods work, but also allows you to enable and disable them with a single click.
One of the most popular instruments is the Minecraft Forge API, you can download it. Moreover, many modern fashion work exclusively through it. Below we will tell you how to install Minecraft Forge API, and how to install and configure mods with it. Go!
How to download and install Minecraft Forge API
To get started, follow the link above, download the installer and install the client on your computer. To do this, run the downloaded installer and just click the "Ok" button to install the client, the installer will automatically determine where Minecraft is located:
If you need to install the API on the server or simply unpack the archive, then select the second or third option, respectively. As you can see, the screenshots of the process are shown using Windows 10 as an example, but in other operating systems everything is exactly the same, only the interface looks a little different.
After completing the installation of Forge, launch the Minecraft launcher and in the lower left corner of the screen, in the "Profile" drop-down list, you will see new profile with the name "forge".
If for some reason you do not have such a profile there, then create it by clicking the “New Profile” button for creating a new profile. A window will open where you need to enter the name of the created profile in the “Profile Name” column, and in the “Use version” field at the end of the drop-down list, select the release as in the picture below (the name may vary slightly depending on your versions of Minecraft and Forge).
So, the Forge profile is created. Select it in the "Profile" drop-down list and start the game. If you have correctly completed all the steps above, then in the lower left corner of the game window you will see the corresponding inscription, and a new “Modifications” button will appear in the main menu:
Everything, Minecraft Forge is installed and working. If you click the "Modifications" button, the mod management window will open:
Now let's move on to the next part of the material on how to use Forge.
How to install a mod with Minecraft Fordge
In order for the Forge API to see the mod, you need to put it in your Minecraft mods folder. This folder is located in the directory account user and is indicated on the profile editing page in the "Game Directory" field:
The paths differ on different operating systems:
- Windows: %AppData%\.minecraft\mods
- OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods
- Linux: ~/.minecraft/mods
If you do not see the desired folder in the directory with your username, then include in operating system the ability to show hidden files and folders. On Windows, the easiest way to get to the folder is by entering the %appdata% command in the Explorer address bar:
Open this directory and find in it a folder called mods. If there is no such folder, create it.
It is in the mods folder that you need to copy all the modifications that you want to install on Minecraft. To install a mod through the Forge API, upload any desired modification to the mods folder, open the game and click on the "Modifications" button in the main menu.
To demonstrate the operation of the Forge API, let's try to install, which is not supported by my installed Minecraft version. Download it and copy it to the mods folder, then launch the game and see a message stating that an incompatibility problem has been identified between Cube World and the current version of Minecraft:
You can leave this window only by closing it. As you can see, Forge saved me from possible problems which could happen if I ran an incompatible mod myself. And this, as mentioned above, could lead to the loss of saves or reinstallation of the game.
Now let's choose a mod about aggressive zombies for the test. Download and copy it to the mods folder, and then launch the game and go to the Mods menu:
As you can see, the CrackedZombie mod has been successfully recognized and installed. If you look closely at the inscriptions, we will see the version of the mod, its author and other information about it. Pressing the "Disable" button in the lower left corner will disable the mod, and behind the "Config" button is hidden its configuration menu:
And now imagine how inconvenient it is to change these settings by manually crawling through the configuration file of the modification ... Forge - solves it!
We start the game and see that the CrackedZombie modification has been successfully installed, and merciless zombies are chasing peacefully grazing animals and villagers.
That's all. In this article, we have discussed how to install the Minecraft Forge API, and how to use it to install a mod on Minecraft. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments, we will try to answer.
I think that's enough a large number of players who recently bought Minecraft somehow managed to get disappointed in it and therefore, they give it a second chance by installing mods that change graphics, add some creatures and others. However, they fail here too, as most will not be able to install Forge. That is what today's article is about.
So I will provide two ways Forge installations: Independent - for those who are not too lazy and semi-automatic (click and wait) - for lazy people.
What. Let's start with the easiest way - semi-automatic!
To do this, we do not need to do anything difficult, just download a wonderful launcher from a Russian developer. This miracle has not very many charms, but they will provide you with a comfortable game. Characteristics this launcher:
So, downloaded and opened. The following window opens:
First of all, we need to set up an account. To do this, click on the "set up accounts ..." button (I have my nickname written instead of this button due to the fact that I have already set it up).
Having opened the corresponding window, we set everything up to your taste: If you have a license, you can use it, and if not, then play like this - the functionality for setting up accounts is quite large.
Having created and selected an account, we return to the main page and activate the second pull-out list, where we select the required version of the client. There is, for example, 1.6.4 - simple, with Forge, with Optifine and Forge. The kernel for mods is usually the latest version.
All. By choosing the right one, you can customize everything for yourself - an accessible game RAM, the directory where the game clients will be loaded and so on. Next, when we have done all this, go to the game directory, and then to the mods folder (By default, this is C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\mods). Here we send what you need and you're done!
Now we will talk about more painful - manual way.
First we need to download the version you need. It can be done . After that, of course, we need to get Forge. I have compiled a set of cores for more or less current versions of the game for you. You can download .
To install Forge, just run one of the jar files for the required version and specify the path to the client/server. Then, the installation process will begin.
If you have a license, then open the launcher and select a new profile. I got "Forge 1.8".
Next, we do the same as in the first method - go to the root folder and then to mods, send desired mods and enjoy. Please read the article carefully to avoid questions. However, if they arise - write, I will try to help you. Mods can be downloaded from our website. I post them very often. Everything that I have published you can see follow the link below!
