Choose Your Modpack Installation Method
Installing Minecraft modpacks depends on whether you’re using a launcher or doing it manually. Most players find launchers like CurseForge, ATLauncher, or Technic much easier than manual installation.
Using CurseForge (Recommended for Beginners)
Download and install the CurseForge app from their official website. Once installed, browse the modpacks section and click “Install” on any pack that catches your eye. The launcher handles everything automatically – downloading mods, setting up folders, and configuring Java settings.
After installation completes, simply click “Play” and CurseForge launches Minecraft with all mods loaded. This method works for 90% of popular modpacks and saves hours of troubleshooting.
Manual Installation Process
For custom or older modpacks, you’ll need to install manually:
- Download the modpack files (usually a .zip archive)
- Extract the contents to a new folder
- Copy the “mods” folder to your Minecraft directory
- Install the correct Forge or Fabric version specified by the modpack
- Launch Minecraft using the modded profile
Your Minecraft directory is typically located at %appdata%\.minecraft on Windows or ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft on Mac.
Alternative Launchers
ATLauncher and Technic Platform offer similar one-click installation for their respective modpack libraries. MultiMC and Prism Launcher give advanced users more control over Java settings and mod management.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If your modpack won’t launch, check that you’re using the correct Minecraft and Forge versions. Many modpacks require specific Java versions – newer packs often need Java 17 or higher. Always allocate enough RAM in your launcher settings, typically 4-8GB for larger modpacks.

TL;DR
Use CurseForge or similar launchers for easy one-click modpack installation, or manually extract modpack files to your Minecraft directory with the correct Forge version.
