Downloading Mods, Resource Packs, Shaders And More

Then you can download mods from CurseForge or Modrinth through the launcher.
You can get started downloading mods by clicking the “Add Mods” button on the instance:
This will bring up a screen where you can search for mods, resource packs, shaders and more.

The different types of content you can add to your instance will depend on which modloader you have installed when creating the instance.
