Student Mods

Installing Mods

1. In order to play your mod, you'll need Minecraft for a PC or Mac. The only place to get that is at Minecraft.net.

2. Then you'll also need Minecraft Forge. Most of the student mods are made to run on Minecraft 1.12. You'll need to download the Installer (or Windows-Installer) from here. Don't click on the ad that appears after you click on the Installer. Wait a few seconds, then click the SKIP in the upper right.

3. Install Forge. Choose "Client".

3. Take the file you got from class and put it into this folder on your computer: C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft --into the 'mods' folder (create it if it doesn't exist)

**You may have to click on the "View" tab at the top of the page and put a checkmark next to "Hidden Items" in order to see all of the files in your username folder**

4. When you fire up Minecraft, use the Forge 1.12 profile. The mod you made will be in there now.

5. If you're more of a visual learner, here is a very thorough Youtube video that someone else made: Watch Here.

Now that you have a folder with your student's name on it, what do you do? It's actually pretty simple, yay!
1. Click on the student's folder.
2. Copy it. (Control + C)
3. Now you need to go your computer's file system. On a Windows computer, go to the C:\ drive.
4. Go to the "Users" folder.
5. Go to the folder that is your username (the one you 'login' when the computer boots up.
6. Go to the "App Data" folder (this might be hidden -- if so, click "View" at the top of the screen and check "Hidden Items"
7. Now open the "Roaming" folder.
8. Then the ".minecraft" folder
9. There's a "saves" folder in there. If you click on it, or open it, that's where we need to put the kid's project. Press Control + V, or right-click and choose "Paste". The student's folder will be copied and is ready to run the next time the kids play Minecraft version 1.11.2
