Download this [[https://maven.neoforged.net/releases/net/neoforged/neoforge/21.1.209/neoforge-21.1.209-installer.jar|1.21.1 NeoForge installer]].\\
Now download this [[https://1drv.ms/u/c/5a88c4282fdb676f/ER_oxdk1bLVJjvHL3qAgkBsBDkMvcUn1AOt1jIuSVYkS_g|NeoForge installer script]] **to the same folder as the installer.jar**.\\
(Full content of this script is available [[.:install:batscript|here]].)\\

Change the directory to something else than default (Like in this screenshot, a new folder called '1.21.1 NeoForge' inside the Users\<Yourname>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft folder):\\
{{:minecraft:minecraft_launcher_4.png?400|}}\\

Now launch the profile for the first time:\\
{{:minecraft:minecraft_launcher_5.png?400|}}\\

==== The actual mods ====
Launching the profile for the first time has created all the folders needed. Press 'Windows'-key + R at the same time to open a Run-prompt and fill in: %appdata%\.minecraft\\
{{:minecraft:copy-paste_mods_1.png?400|}}\\

Then hit 'Enter'. This will open the default Minecraft installation folder:\\
{{:minecraft:explorer_1.png?400|}}\\

Open the folder you created specifically for this NeoForge profile in the Minecraft Launcher:\\
{{:minecraft:explorer_2.png?400|}}\\

Open the 'mods'-folder.\\
Download this mod pack [[https://1drv.ms/u/c/5a88c4282fdb676f/EfWGj7zwMCZDm57tG4NGKJ0BXBedjkZapNjfDCpwVO2mIQ|Minecraft mods.zip]].\\

Extract this .zip into the 'mods'-folder you have open and you're done!\\
{{:minecraft:explorer_3.png?400|}}\\

Now you can restart the Minecraft Launcher and start the NeoForge profile to play the game!\\
