I am looking into getting the scamatica mod and I only want to install one mod not 15 million of them how can I do this?
1. Run Minecraft in version 1.12.2 2. Download Forge: https://files.minecraftforge.net/ 3. Run Forge and install a client from the lil menu that pops up 4. Open up your Minecraft launcher, go to "Launch Options" and use the "Add new". Scroll to the bottom of the "Versions" dropdown and click the one that says forge and 1.12.2 in it. 5. Launch the new Minecraft forge version. 6. Hit your windows key and "R" at the same time, then type in "%appdata%" and hit enter. Navigate through the folders in this order: .minecraft>mods. 7. Download Schematica version 1.12.2 https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/schematica/files 8. Download LunatriusCore version 1.12.12: https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/lunatriuscore/files/2489549 8. Drag and drop the downloads into the mods folder. 9. Launch the game. That's pretty much it, here's a video to help out.
One small addition: you usually don't have to edit your profile manually, Forge will install a new one for you.
