My daughter enjoys playing Minecraft. But when it comes to FINDING and INSTALLING mods that actually work and don't BREAK the game, that's my thing to do since it's too complicated for my ten year old.
She finds a mod she likes then I take over to find the correct download link that isn't unwanted software or a sneaky browser addons. I really have to look at the page closely to make sure I'm getting only the .jar file or .zip file (or whatever) of the mod she wants.
Sometimes I go through all the steps to get and install the mod only to find that I have to remove it because it breaks the game. Grrrrr......Very frustrating process.
Getting ready for Mods in 3 Steps
(I use Windows 7)
Step 1:
If you haven't played version 1.7.2 before, you need to get it. If you are playing another version, start up Minecraft, click 'edit profile' in the bottom left corner. In the 'use version' drop-down box, select 'release 1.7.2', then click 'save profile'. Load the game, then exit out. The reason for this is to use 1.7.2 mods, the same version of Minecraft has to be ran at least once.
Step 2:
Forge is a modloader which makes using Minecraft mods easier. The Minecraft/Forge/mod versions all need to be the same, in this case, 1.7.2.
Click here to see all the Minecraft Forge Downloads.
From the list select --> 1.7.2 recommended version 10.12.0.1024, Installer-Win
Install this after downloading. Forge will install under appdata > roaming > minecraft > versions.
