How to mod on mac?

[Sea_Angel]

I've been trying to figure this out for a few hours but i'm not a "tech" person whatsoever. I followed a YT tutorial for the latest mac and how to properly add just some texture pack mods to the game, but the last most vital step is that it's lacking a few folders, specifically one titled "mods" when looking into the games internal files. I've downloaded all of the needed mods but idk! If anyone could help, it'd be much appreciated! Thanks.

Just create it yourself would be my best guess, but also, if you don't know how to deal with files and all that I would suggest you just play vanilla. Because from what I've seen Macs are not very modder friendly and not easy to navigate through your files if you don't know what you're doing.

The game doesn't come with a mods folder on default, but it is created by for example the SMAPI-installer. If you've yet not installed that one yet, then that's what you should do first, since after that you only need to drop any mod into the created folder and SMAPI will do its magic.

It is also explained on the wiki of how to install it:

Alternatively you could also overwrite the SDV files directly, but with SMAPI being able to inject mods in run-time without you needing to risk breaking the game i wouldn't recommend that, unless it is specifically told to you by the modder (and even then i would rather try to find another mod which doesn't need that)
