1) Download and extract the latest
.zip file from the website
here. It should have
TWITCH or
CURSE in the name. If it doesn't, you have downloaded the wrong file.
2) Open the Curse Forge desktop app, then at the top, click on
Mods. A list should appear for all the moddable games tied to your Twitch account, including Minecraft. Click on the image, the select
Install. If you would like to change the installation location of Minecraft, click on
advanced.
3) Once it has finished, you should be greeted with a new screen. On it, there should be a few options, of which you want to click on
Create custom profile. In here, you want to click on
import, then select the
.zip file that was extracted from the .zip file you downloaded (lots of .zips, I know).
4) After a few moments, a new section (called a profile) should appear underneath the options you looked through earlier, and it will be downloading and installing the whole modpack. Sit back and relax, maybe even get a nice cup of coffe while your waiting, as it may take ahwile.
5) Once finished, a
play button should appear on the profile. Click it, and you will load into the Minecraft launcher, where you can play!
