Modpacks

App

Modpacks can be install from the app's 'Discover' and 'Browse' sections, or from the results list if you're using the search field.

1. In the 'Browse' section, select 'Modpacks' from the dropdown list to your left:
   
   
   
2. You can filter the modpacks by specific modloaders, game versions and categories. Your selection will appear on the top, to your left:
   
   
   
3. When you have selected a modpack to install, click 'Install' and wait for the installation to be complete:
   
   
4. Once the installation is complete you can access the modpack through the 'My Modpacks' screen:
   
   

Website

If you browse the CurseForge website and come across a modpack you would like to install, you can do so very easily using deep link:

1. Click the 'Install' button:
   
   
2. Click 'Open':
   
   
   
3. The app will now open and start the installation:
   
   

Import

You can install custom modpacks that were created in the app and exported to a file or a code.

Mods

Installing to a new profile

1. Search/browse for a mod through the app or website and click 'Install':
   
   
   
   
2. The CurseForge app will launch and load the following screen. Here you can choose if you would like to create a new profile for the desired mod, or to add it to an existing profile. Select 'Create a new profile':
   
   
   Note - we will detect the game version and modloader type of the mod you chose for you and set the required properties for the profile creation.
   
   
3. You will also be requested to choose a name for your creation and can even choose a custom project avatar! When you're ready, just click 'Create':
   
   
   
   

4. If you wish to change the game's version and/or the modloader's type or version, you can click 'Advanced'. Please note:

   • Only options that are compatible with the mod will be available for you to choose from.
   • The 'Advanced' section is recommended for advanced users, so if you are unsure about the parameters, it would be best to stick with the app's automatic selection.
     
     
     
     
5. Your Profile will be created and the mod will be added. You can continue adding mods to the same profile in this method (coming soon), or add them through the 'Add More Content' option in the app:
   
   

Installing to an existing profile/modpack

1. Click 'Select a profile' and choose your preferred profile/modpack:
   
   
   
   
2. If the profile you selected already contains this mod you will be notified accordingly:
   
   
   You can install the mod anyway, in which case it will override the existing one.
   
   
3. Once you make a selection all that's left is to click 'Install':
   
   

Please note the following:

If you see some of your profiles listed as incompatible, you can check the reason for the incompatibility by hovering over the question mark to the right. The tooltip you will say one of the following:

• Incompatible Minecraft version
  Each mod file and each profile are set to run on a specific Minecraft version. If the mod you're trying to install does not match the Minecraft version of the profile you want to install it to, it means they are incompatible and you will not be able to install the mod into it.
  You will have to select a different profile or install the mod to a new one, as explained here.
  
  To check what game version a mod is compatible with, open the 'All Game Version' dropdown list:
  
  
  To check what game version a modpack/profile is compatible with, click the modpack/profile and check the number stated to the right of the controller icon:
  
  
  
• Incompatible modloader (Forge/Fabric/NeoForge/Quilt)
  Forge and Fabric are modloaders that allow mods to run in Minecraft. The mod and the profile must be compatible with the same modloader in order to run properly.
  You will have to select a different profile or install the mod to a new one, as explained here.
  
  To check what modloader a mod is compatible with, open the 'All Mod Loaders' dropdown list:
  
  
  To check what modloader an existing modpack/profile is compatible with, click the modpack/profile and check whether it says 'Forge' or 'Fabric':
  
  
  
• Incompatible modloader and Minecraft version
  Incompatible profiles, that don't match the mod's game version and modloader, cannot be selected.
  You will have to select a different profile or install the mod to a new one, as explained here.
