(i basically wanna install jei or nei or something similar)

 

Things ive tried

1) run.mods folder (normal install) // does not work

2)build.JustEnoughItems-1.15.file

3)build.JustEnoughItems-1.15.zip

4)build.(mods name i made up).JustEnoughItems-1.15.file

5)build.(mods name i made up).JustEnoughItems-1.15.zip

6)build.jei-1.15.2-6.0.0.4.jar

7)build.jei-1.15.2-6.0.0.4.file

8)MOD_ID.src.main.java.com.mods.jei-1.15.2-6.0.0.4 .jar.file.zip

 

none of these options work

 

in 1.12.2 you could install mods in the mods folder in the run dir.

then it changed to just about anywhere in the build folder.

 

i tried released and dev versions, nothing worked. when mods installed, the game still loaded but did not load the mods, obfuscated and de-obfuscated did not seem to matter.

 

i also do not want to the mod a dependency 
can anyone tell me where i need to install mods these days? i hate the default creative menu.
