How to Install and Use LiteLoader Mods

Installing LiteLoader for Minecraft Mods

Minecraft mods add new blocks, items, mobs, dimensions, and gameplay features. While Forge is the most common mod loader, LiteLoader offers a lighter, client-side alternative compatible with Forge and all its mods.

Why LiteLoader?

• It’s client-side, meaning you can join any server (Vanilla, Forge, etc.) without matching mod lists.

• It’s designed for lightweight mods like minimaps, UI improvements, or automation tools.

• Works seamlessly alongside Forge with almost no conflicts.

  
  

How to Install LiteLoader

• Go to the LiteLoader downloads page and select your preferred version (choose the latest on the left).

• Download the latest .jar snapshot.

• Open the downloaded file to launch the LiteLoader installer.

• In the “Extend from” dropdown, select the Minecraft profile you want to add LiteLoader to.

Installing LiteLoader with Forge

• If you want to use Forge with LiteLoader, install Forge first — it will then appear in the dropdown list.

• Under “New Profile”, name your LiteLoader profile so you can easily recognize it later.

• Click OK to finish the installation.

That’s it! Once installed, select your LiteLoader profile from the Minecraft launcher (to the left of the Play button) and start the game.

Adding LiteLoader to a Modpack

• Go to the LiteLoader downloads page and select the latest version (leftmost download).

• Download the latest .jar snapshot.

• Open the downloaded file to launch the installer.

• On the installation screen, check the box next to “Extract LiteLoader.jar”.

• Click OK to extract.

• Find the extracted file liteloader-VERSION-SNAPSHOT-release.jar.

Then, add this file to your modpack’s mods folder, depending on the launcher you use:

Adding LiteLoader Mods

With LiteLoader installed, you can now add mods. Browse the LiteLoader mod list, choose the ones you like, and download them. Click the mod’s download link (usually on Minecraft Forum or CurseForge) and download the .litemod file.

Then, open your Minecraft mods folder.If you added LiteLoader to an existing modpack, use the same mods folder as before.If you’re installing from scratch:

• Windows: Press Windows + R, type %APPDATA%\.minecraft, and click OK.

• Mac: Press Command + Space, type ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft, and press Enter.

Open the mods folder and drag in your downloaded .litemod files.

That’s it! When you launch Minecraft with LiteLoader, it’ll automatically load the mods. To check if they work, click the small gray tab in the top-right corner of the main menu — you’ll see the loaded mods listed there.
