> Minecraft Java mods: loaders (Fabric/Forge/NeoForge/Quilt), mods folder, versions, logs.
## Mod folder and format
`.minecraft/mods/` (or the launcher instance's `mods/` folder). Mods are `.jar` files, not extracted. The mod loader and the Minecraft version must both match the mod file.
## Sources
Modrinth > CurseForge > GitHub Releases. Modpack manifests (Modrinth `.mrpack`, CurseForge manifest) list exact files.
## Compatibility
Match loader (Fabric/Forge/NeoForge/Quilt) AND exact MC version. Required libraries (Fabric API, Architectury, Cloth Config, etc.) are separate downloads: read each mod's dependency list.
## Logs
`.minecraft/logs/latest.log` and `crash-reports/`. The crash report's "Suspected Mods" and the first `Caused by:` line usually name the culprit. For texture/resource-pack work, load the `texture-patch-hunt` module.
