Minecraft – Mods folder missing from .minecraft folder

minecraft-java-edition

I have Windows 10 and when I go to look in my .minecraft folder in the AppData folder, the mods folder is not there.

How can I find the mods folder?

Best Answer

Vanilla Minecraft does not have a "mods" folder. Most likely case is that you need to install Forge Mod Loader, which you can download here.

If you do already have Forge and the folder is still missing, it may have been deleted by mistake. You should be able to create a new folder in the .minecraft directory, and call it "mods".
