This page gives you a tutorial on installing Modpacks on Mac or Linux.
Are Windows desktop shortcuts not versatile enough? Is the Dock in macOS not functioning the way you want it to? That’s where the custom program launchers on this page come in. From Linux-based launchers such as Docky, to keystroke-based launches for Windows like Keypirinha, there are several program launching options for you regardless of what type of operating system you prefer. The Launcher app is currently a starting point for playing Minecraft: Java Edition, but we envision a future where it will become so much more! It’ll be the home for our future games within the Minecraft universe, and therefore we’ve started the journey of rethinking how the Launcher will work and look.
Currently the curse client (Where cool new packs are) does not support Mac or Linux, so this page will give you a way to play Curse Client Modpacks on Mac or Linux.
Before being able to run Pharo Launcher, you may need to update temporarily your security settings: if you have Mac OS X 10.8 or higher then you might get the following message: This is due to the OS X Gatekeeper feature that is designed to discourage users from downloading apps from random locations and possibly installing something bad. All Stars Launcher or, in short, ASL, is an emulator that makes it possible for you to enjoy playing DOS and old classic games on your Windows computer.Aside from games, All Stars Launcher enables. If you are running a Mac, Linux or prefer to use the jar file, then you should select the 'Linux/Mac/Others (.jar)' button. Put the exe/jar file in its own folder somewhere on your computer such as on your desktop or documents folder, making triple sure you place it in it's a new blank folder.
Before starting this tutorial have a modpack you want to install in mind.
Step 1: Download MultiMC.
MultiMC is a program which allows you have have a number of minecraft instances, this is how we are going to play Curse Client modpacks.
Download MultiMC https://multimc.org/. Once you have it downloaded make a folder on your desktop called ‘MultiMC’.
Step 2: Extraction/ Installation
Once you have downloaded MultiMC, open the zip file downloaded (having WinRAR will help).
Inside the zip file there should be a folder called MultiMC, open that folder and copy everything there into your folder you created on your desktop (called ‘MultiMC’).
Image viewer download. You can also save files in more common and widespread formats: PNG, JPG, etc.In addition to image viewing, you can also take screenshots and edit pictures.
Step 3: Selecting Java
Linux Launcher For Android
Inside the folder you now have full of MultiMC files, run the program called ‘MultiMC.exe’. It should bring up a menu to select your java version, make sure you select the most recent version of java you have installed. Some Modpacks require the latest version of java to run.
Step 4: Adding your account
Click on the Steve face in the top right, then click manage accounts. After opening the account manager, click the add button and enter your Minecraft account details. Cracked accounts won’t work and will never work on MultiMC, go buy Minecraft.
Once you’re done click OK and then click close on the bottom of the menu. Now if you click the Steve face your minecraft name should appear on that list, click on it.
Step 5: Creating An Instance
Now before you can play the Modpacks you need to create an instance. Click on the piece of paper with a star on top (Top left).
It should open a menu, give this instance a name (Normally what the modpacks is called) so for example i’m going to call it my Modpack (Refuge). Also check what Minecraft version the pack is, currently most Modpacks are 1.7.10. My Modpacks (Refuge) is 1.7.10 so i’m going to select 1.7.10 by clicking the box next where it says ‘Version’ and selecting 1.7.10, then click OK.
You can change the icon by clicking the infinity logo. After everything is correct click OK.
Step 6: Installing Forge
Then instance should start to get the files from Mojang, after that’s done right click the instance and click ‘Edit Instance’. It should bring up a window, click the button on the side called ‘Install Forge’. All the latest forge versions for your selected Minecraft version should show up, have a look on the Modpack you want to installs Curse page it should tell you the Forge version Mac/ Linux need to use to be able to play the pack. After you find that out select the version stated on the Modpacks page, then click OK for me it’s for 10.13.3.1391. It should get the Forge files, then click close.

Step 7: Installing The Pack
Once you have done step 6, download the Modpack files they should be on the Modpack you want to downloads Curse page. After downloading the files open the zip up and locate to where you see a folder called mods there will probably have more folders as well.
Download vst to rtas for mac. Select them all a copy the files, we will be pasting them in a moment. Go back onto MultiMC, right click the instance and select ‘Instance Folder’. It should open up a file explorer, open the folder inside called ‘minecraft’ delete everything inside. After deleting everything inside the ‘minecraft’ folder paste the files we copied from the Modpack files we downloaded before.
Step 8: Playing Minecraft
Go back onto MultiMC and double click on the instance (that should start to load up minecraft) and Voila, you have successfully installed a Modpack.
