How to Install Chisels & Bits Mod?

Published in Minecraft Mod Installation 3 mins read

To install the Chisels & Bits mod for Minecraft, you will first need to install Forge, a modding API that allows you to run most Minecraft mods. Once Forge is set up and working, you can then add the Chisels & Bits mod file to your game directory.

Here's a general breakdown of the process:

Getting Started: Prerequisites

Before installing Chisels & Bits, ensure you have:

  1. Minecraft Installed: A legitimate copy of Minecraft.
  2. Minecraft Forge Installed: Download and install the correct version of Forge corresponding to your Minecraft version (e.g., for Minecraft 1.16.4, you need Forge for 1.16.4). Many mod installations require Forge to function correctly.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Once Forge is installed and you have run Minecraft with the Forge profile at least once, you can proceed with adding the Chisels & Bits mod file.

1. Download the Chisels & Bits Mod File:

  • Visit a reputable Minecraft mod download site (like CurseForge).
  • Search for "Chisels & Bits" and find the version that matches your installed Minecraft and Forge version.
  • Download the .jar file for the Chisels & Bits mod.

2. Locate Your Minecraft mods Folder:

  • The location of this folder varies slightly depending on your operating system:
    • Windows: Press Windows Key + R, type %appdata%\.minecraft, and press Enter.
    • macOS: Open Finder, click "Go" in the menu bar, hold Option or Alt, and click "Library". Navigate to Application Support > minecraft.
    • Linux: Usually found in ~/.minecraft or /home/yourusername/.minecraft.
  • Inside the .minecraft folder, you should find a folder named mods. If it doesn't exist, create a new folder and name it exactly mods (all lowercase).

3. Place the Mod File in the mods Folder:

  • Drag and drop the .jar file you downloaded for Chisels & Bits into the mods folder you located in Step 2.

4. Launch Minecraft with the Forge Profile:

  • Open the Minecraft Launcher.
  • Select the Forge profile you installed earlier from the profile dropdown menu.
  • Click the "Play" button.

As shown in the reference video, the process involves having Minecraft open with Forge before you see the mod correctly loaded in the game. When you launch Minecraft with the Forge profile after placing the mod file, Forge will load Chisels & Bits.

5. Verify Installation (Optional but Recommended):

  • Once Minecraft loads, go to the 'Mods' menu on the main screen (this menu is added by Forge).
  • You should see Chisels & Bits listed among the loaded mods.
  • Create a new world or load an existing one to confirm the mod's features are available in-game.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Incorrect Version: Ensure the Chisels & Bits mod version matches your Minecraft and Forge version exactly.
  • Forge Not Installed/Configured: Make sure you ran Minecraft with the Forge profile before trying to load the mod.
  • Corrupted Download: Re-download the mod file if it doesn't appear in the mods list.
  • Mod Conflicts: While less common with standalone mods, conflicts can sometimes occur if you have many mods installed. Try running Chisels & Bits with only Forge to rule this out.

By following these steps, you should successfully install the Chisels & Bits mod and enhance your Minecraft building capabilities!
