How to install a minecraft mod

1. Decide which version of minecraft you wish to play with mods (I recommend 1.7.10, 1.10.2, or 1.12.2 for the most variety)
2. Search for “minecraft forge [version]”
3. The link should be curse forge or something like that
4. There will be two options, download latest or recommended. While they recommend the recommended, in most cases you want the latest as certain mods only work with newer versions of forge
5. Click the download, do NOT click the download in the center of the adf.ly page, That’s a virus. Wait for the countdown and in the top right corner there will be a button to continue to download. Click that one
6.  Run the file once it downloads. 
7. Click install client and make sure that the files are installing under your user
8. Go to file explorer and type %appdata% in the search bar
9. Click the . minecraft folder
10. Create a new folder named “mods”
11. Go online and find a mod that you want
12. Download it in the correct minecraft version. It will say that the file is harmful, you have to keep the file anyway. 
13. Move that file from the downloads to the mods folder
14. Go into your minecraft launcher and load the vanilla version of minecraft 
15. Close it out once it loads
16. Go to installations and create new
17. Change the version and scroll through until you see the forge version, it should be at the bottom. 
18. Play that installation and enjoy
