How To Make A Mod Folder For Minecraft On Mac



Once a mod has been downloaded, players will just need to grab the mod in their file explorer and move it into the Minecraft folder. Players should keep in mind though that not all mods will be compatible with the current version of Minecraft. The Minecraft Launcher will then download a new, fresh.minecraft folder into the Roaming folder. Once it is done, open your modded.minecraft folder. Go into the Saves folder. Do the same for the fresh, no mods.minecraft folder. Take your worlds from the modded.minecraft folder and put them into the saves folder in the fresh.minecraft folder.

Minecraftis a good-natured indie game that'slike a cross between Lego,Doom,andSecond Life,but with chickens, pigs, and zombies.Its graphics are enthusiastically low quality - kind of like South Park's,but blockier - and in exchange for the low quality, the world is totallyeditable in-game.It's all the rage among boys 9 and up.

To get a feel for it, watch the trailer,the official four partbeginner's tutorial,a third-party tutorial,and a fewpopsongparodies based on the game.(Teachers, see the 'Teaching Minecraft' video series from MinecraftEdu,or the links at GamingEdus.org.)

Installing Minecraft

If you haven't already, buy a minecraftaccount, download thelauncher, and install it.

If you use Linux, the launcher you want is Minecraft.jar.Install java (e.g. 'sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre'),then run the launcher (e.g. 'java -jar Minecraft.jar').This will download and install Minecraft proper into your ~/.minecraftfolder. It's how you will always launch minecraft.(See also theMinecraftwiki FAQ.)

Learning Minecraft Basics

Beyond the tutorials linked above,MinecraftWikihas quite a few tutorials. Look over that page, read the first few,and then come back later when you need to know more.And surf Youtubefor Minecraft walkthroughs / Let's Play / Yogscast videos.There are literally thousands of these, in every language(e.g. German).

Saved Games / Worlds / Maps

As with many other games, you can save your progress when you quit.But since Minecraft lets you edit the world, these saved games are reallysaved worlds. People often create intricate worlds and upload themfor others to play in; one site that catalogs them isMinecraftMaps.com;they are also listed somewhat chaotically onthe MinecraftForum's Maps subforum.To install a downloaded world, just unzip it into ~/.minecraft/saves;see Minecraftwiki's Map downloads tutorial.

Resource Packs

Some worlds require a Resource Pack.That's just a set of alternate sounds or images for a world.Minecraft 1.6.2 makes it really easy to install them- you just copy the .zip file into the resourcepacks subfolder of ~/.minecraftwithout even unpacking it.

One map that requires a resource pack isMysterious East.(See the yogscast videofor some idea of how to play it once you have the save unpacked and theresource pack downloaded.) Give it a try.

Mods

Resource packs are great for changing the look of a world,but to change the behavior of a world, you need to write some Java,or at least edit some JSON files.Minecraft is relatively easy to hack on, sothere are lots of fan-written code changes (called'Mods').

Unfortunately, there is no authoritative source for mods, thoughthere are a few lists, at e.g. minecraftforum.net,planetminecraft.com, andminecraftwiki.net.People seem to just find out about a mod and google it or searchfor it on youtube.

Installation methods used to vary wildly, and incompatibility was rife,but these days, most mods are compatible with MinecraftForge, aconvenient mod loader.

Installing MinecraftForge

This used to be hard, but recently they had a genius idea:create a simple installer. (Amazing!)See anyof the many tutorials for tips on how to download and run the installer.

Once you have it installed, to install a mod, you download it to the~/.minecraft/mods folder, and then start Minecraft, choosing the Forgeprofile; installed mods are always active.

See my Using Mods page for semi-detailed instructionsfor how to install a couple interesting mods on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Creating Mods

Your child will probably happily play with mods for many months. buteventually will want to create one. This is hard, and you'll have to help,at least to get started.

The original way to create mods was to install theMinecraftCoder Pack.I've done this, and successfully created a trivial mod with it,but it's probably not where you should start.

MinecraftForge Source

MinecraftForge has a lesser-known side: it provides a mod development environment, which includes a copy of MCP under the hood.

To install it, see MinecraftForge'sInstallation/Source page.

Unzip it, cd to the forge directory it creates and run python install.py.This will take ten or so minutes on a fast machine.If it complains about hunks of patches not applying, try it againafter installing the prerequisites listed on the page linked above(e.g. 'sudo apt-get install wine astyle').

Minecraftforge has a very scary tutorial,and wuppygaming has even more.

Java programming?

These tutorials are probably hard to follow if you don't know atleast some Java programming.Once you have each tutorial working, though, it's easy to tweakthings like item names and strengths without knowing much or any Java.

There are an infinite number of Java tutorials out there, for instance:

  • Eclipseand Java for Total Beginners
  • CodeSpells (Unity3d gameto teach Java programming; a bit hard to set up on windows or linux)
  • Greenfoot - Simple OO Java learningenvironment
  • BlueJ - IDE for learning java
  • Java Programmingfor Kids (pdf tutorial; about 15 years out of date?)

Hello, Minecraft Mod

The BasicModdinglooks scary, but if you've ever programmed Java, it's really not bad,it takes about 15 minutes. Follow that and then theBasic Itemstutorial, and press 'Play' in Eclipse.

To get one of the items you created in your mod, start a worldin creative mode, then press 'e', click onthe rightmost tab of your inventory, and scroll to the bottom;you should see it on the bottom right. Drag that to the bottom rowof the inventory window, and press escape; then press the number forthe slot the item is in. Voila, you're wielding it.

The Missing Food Tutorial

How to get mods for minecraftThere wasn't a tutorial for Basic Food, but that wasn't too hard to figureout; in Generic.java, add an import near the top:an item in the class:and give it a name in the load() method:Now to try eating your food, press Play, wield the new item as above,then switch to survival mode (/gamemode 0), run around until you gethungry (the wine glasses on the lower right of the HUD will start emptying),then right click and hold. You should now be messily eating the foodyou were holding, and your hunger should go down.

Making your items look good

The above instructions leave your items looking likecheckered test patterns, so let's make them looklike something more interesting.

First, tell eclipse you're going to add textures for your mod.Right-click on src in Project Explorer, pick New / Package, andname it, say, assets.generic.textures.items. This will jog eclipseinto creating a directoryforget/mcp/src/minecraft/assets/generic/textures/item.

Then use your favorite paint program to create a 16x16 image,and save it as file foo.png in that folder.

Finally, in your Generic.java, in the constructor for Genericwhere you have a line liketack on .func_111206_d('generic:Qu') to the end, before the semicolon.e.g.(Why func_111206_d? Well, minecraft wasn't quite designedfor modding, and the name for the function that sets texturesgot optimized away; and the best mcp could come up with as a replacementname is a random string of digits.)

Press the 'Run' button, and you should now see your genericFood itemlooks less boring in your inventory and when you drop it!

This page gives you a tutorial on installing Modpacks on Mac or Linux. Font explorer windows.

Currently the curse client (Where cool new packs are) does not support Mac or Linux, so this page will give you a way to play Curse Client Modpacks on Mac or Linux.

Before starting this tutorial have a modpack you want to install in mind.

Step 1: Download MultiMC.

MultiMC is a program which allows you have have a number of minecraft instances, this is how we are going to play Curse Client modpacks.

Download MultiMC https://multimc.org/. Once you have it downloaded make a folder on your desktop called ‘MultiMC’.

Step 2: Extraction/ Installation

Once you have downloaded MultiMC, open the zip file downloaded (having WinRAR will help).

Inside the zip file there should be a folder called MultiMC, open that folder and copy everything there into your folder you created on your desktop (called ‘MultiMC’).

Step 3: Selecting Java

Inside the folder you now have full of MultiMC files, run the program called ‘MultiMC.exe’. It should bring up a menu to select your java version, make sure you select the most recent version of java you have installed. Some Modpacks require the latest version of java to run.

Step 4: Adding your account

Click on the Steve face in the top right, then click manage accounts. After opening the account manager, click the add button and enter your Minecraft account details. Cracked accounts won’t work and will never work on MultiMC, go buy Minecraft.

Once you’re done click OK and then click close on the bottom of the menu. Now if you click the Steve face your minecraft name should appear on that list, click on it.

Step 5: Creating An Instance

https://whvzcn.over-blog.com/2021/01/best-free-apple-mac-games.html. Now before you can play the Modpacks you need to create an instance. Click on the piece of paper with a star on top (Top left).

It should open a menu, give this instance a name (Normally what the modpacks is called) so for example i’m going to call it my Modpack (Refuge). Also check what Minecraft version the pack is, currently most Modpacks are 1.7.10. My Modpacks (Refuge) is 1.7.10 so i’m going to select 1.7.10 by clicking the box next where it says ‘Version’ and selecting 1.7.10, then click OK.

You can change the icon by clicking the infinity logo. After everything is correct click OK.

Then instance should start to get the files from Mojang, after that’s done right click the instance and click ‘Edit Instance’. It should bring up a window, click the button on the side called ‘Install Forge’. All the latest forge versions for your selected Minecraft version should show up, have a look on the Modpack you want to installs Curse page it should tell you the Forge version Mac/ Linux need to use to be able to play the pack. After you find that out select the version stated on the Modpacks page, then click OK for me it’s for 10.13.3.1391. It should get the Forge files, then click close.

Step 7: Installing The Pack

Once you have done step 6, download the Modpack files they should be on the Modpack you want to downloads Curse page. After downloading the files open the zip up and locate to where you see a folder called mods there will probably have more folders as well.

Download ea origin for mac. Select them all a copy the files, we will be pasting them in a moment. Go back onto MultiMC, right click the instance and select ‘Instance Folder’. It should open up a file explorer, open the folder inside called ‘minecraft’ delete everything inside. After deleting everything inside the ‘minecraft’ folder paste the files we copied from the Modpack files we downloaded before.

Step 8: Playing Minecraft

Go back onto MultiMC and double click on the instance (that should start to load up minecraft) and Voila, you have successfully installed a Modpack.
