MultiMC is a huge improvement over the vanilla Minecraft launcher and it makes setting up profiles and managing your play experience very simple.įor those players who are heavily into modding, MultiMC is practically a necessity as it decreases the fuss factor of messing around with mods by many fold and makes creating discrete profiles and mod checklists for individual play instances as simple as clicking a few times with your mouse. MultiMC is a free and open-source launcher for Minecraft (it will completely replace the regular Mojang supplied launcher) that does an absolutely spectacular job of managing your Minecraft experience.
HOW TO INSTALL MODS FOR MINECRAFT 1.8.9 HOW TO
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, it’s time to show you how to streamline the entire experience in a way that keeps all your worlds, mods, and profiles separate, well organized, and with no risk that you’ll load a world with the wrong mods and completely wreck your hard work. In earlier articles we taught you how mods worked and how to manually install them. There has to be a better way and there is a better way: MultiMC. Not to mention a few tears and screams if your multiple players happen to be young siblings prone to accidentally (or not so accidentally) messing with each other’s worlds. If you want to further compound the issue, throw in multiple players on the same machine and you’ve got a big mess on your hands. As we emphasized in our Minecraft modding guide if you load a world without the proper mods/assets then everything in that world created with those mods/assets typically vanishes and the world can become corrupted. Worse yet, if you don’t do the careful organizing required to keep your worlds separated and only loaded with the proper mods then you risk corrupting those worlds. In short order, things go from your original vanilla installation of Minecraft to a rat’s nest of profiles, shuffled around files and an overall mess.
Further, many times you find mods that only work with 1.6.x or early version of 1.7.x, and where does that leave you? It’s another big hassle to set up separate profiles for not only your bundles of mods but also for your bundles of mods and your unique Minecraft versions. One thing every Minecraft modder quickly realizes is that keeping all the worlds and all their companion mods straight is a huge hassle.
