Determine what you want to add or fix in Minecraft. Mods are modifications of the original game. They will replace, fix, or add content that would otherwise not be there. Modifications can significantly change the way the game is played, but they can also cause the game to become unstable, especially if multiple mods are installed.

Ensure that the mod is compatible. The mods you download will need to be compatible with your current version of Minecraft. All mods should say in their information what version(s) they work with.
Install the Forge API. The Forge API is a newer release that allows you to easily install multiple mods while minimizing crashes. This is an optional tool unless the mod specifically requires the Forge API. Some mods may require an older tool called Modloader. This tool is not compatible with Forge API, so you should stick to one or the other. It is recommended that Forge be installed on a clean installation of Minecraft. This will help reduce errors and incompatibilities. Run at least one game on your new Minecraft installation. Before you install anything, you should run one game on your fresh Minecraft installation.Find Mods for Minecraft Step 5Bullet2.jpg Download the latest Forge installer from the developer's website.Find Mods for Minecraft Step 5.jpg Open the installer.
