How to install mods through terminal
Tutorial Difficulty: 3/5
Things youll need:
-Mod
-Terminal Started up
-Clean Minecraft Folder [app support], this doesnt have to be, but its eliminates any troubleshooting problems
-Basic computer knowledge
-Minecraft should not be opened during this ENTIRE tutorial
_____________________________________________________
Step 1:Cleaning and Open Commands
*if needed, double check your starting with a fresh minecraft folder*
please start Terminal and copy and paste this command EXACTLY how it is into terminal and hit ENTER to enter the command, dont alter it, hit space, or hit enter anywhere in it
Code:
cd ~
mkdir mctmp
cd mctmp
jar xf ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar
results in spoiler
At the end of step one, terminal should look like the following picture. Also, the command you pasted in, created the highlighted "mctmp" folder. which is located in your documents home, and contains the contents of your minecraft jar. this is where you will be pasting your Mod's Class files.
_____________________________________________________
Step 2: Pasting Your Mods Classes
Locate your mod, Unzip, or do whatever is necessary
Copy all of the files and whatever is needed from the folder you just unzipped, or the classes of your mod and paste them all into the MCTMP folder, you will get this:
Click Apply to All, then Replace this overwrites all the stock classes with your modded ones.
_____________________________________________________
Step 3: Cleaning Up
Your not done yet your mods are safe, but not enough to start up the game, now bring back up terminal. You will now need to Copy and paste this EXACT command into terminal and hit ENTER to enter the command, no changing it again:
Code:
rm META-INF/MOJANG_C.*
jar uf ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar ./
cd ..
rm -rf mctmp
This command closes the MCTMP folder and deletes the Mojang_C file automatically, so theres no confusion in what to do. the command does it all for you.
Your Terminal should now look like the following picture, and your now free to start up minecraft and test if it worked!
