To access the directory needed to install Minecraft modifications you will need to locate your root Minecraft directory.

Windows

Begin the RUN application (Windows Key + R) and type ‘%appdata%’. Here you will find the .Minecraft folder, open it.

Linux

The Minecraft folder is found in the following directory - /home/Your User Name/.minecraft

Mac OS/X

The Minecraft folder is found in the following directory: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft

Once you have located the directory enter the .bin folder. Inside the .bin folder, use a directory browser (winZIP, Win RAR etc) to open the Minecraft.jar file, this is where modifications must be installed but the exact installation varies depending on the file so please refer to the author’s description from this point.
