Desperately trying to download the CREATE MOD to my autistic sons Minecraft Account - he finds it too stressful so I do it on my PC first - hopefully iron out the process & then onto his PC - Anyway I've downloaded both JAVA & FORGE onto my PC BUT cannot get Forge to launch ? Frank

The easiest way is to use a pre-configured modpack which is based around the Create mod

So there is Create, some addons and quality of life mods

 

Get a custom Launcher like Curseforge App

https://www.curseforge.com/download/app

Download the Standalone one

Run and install it

Login with your Microsoft Account

At the Minecraft Tab, search for Create based Modpacks like:

Create F&M 3

Install this one

At My Modpacks, click on Play

 

 

If you want to use an Create-Only instance, just create an own Modpack profile (at My Modpacks, click on "+ Create")

For Minecraft 1.21.1, choose NeoForge

For Minecraft 1.20.1, choose Forge

as modloader

(there are no 1.21.5 Create builds atm)

 

Install it and click on this Profile - click on the 3 dots: "Add more Content"

Then just search for Create and add it - the press Play
