Where to put mods after installing mc-installer snap?
I installed Minecraft on Ubuntu 20.04 with sudo snap install mc-installer. I've also downloaded some mod .jar files, but there doesn't seem to be a "mods" folder within the installation – find ~/snap/mc-installer -name mods prints nothing. Where am I supposed to put the mods?
What I've tried based on suggestions from a couple websites:
- ~/snap/minecraft/common
- ~/snap/minecraft/common/mods
- ~/snap/mc-installer/current/.minecraft/mods
I have made sure the directory and .jar files are owned by the same user as the rest of the package (as you'd expect).

First, just start unmodded Minecraft so that the .minecraft directory is instantiated, and locate it - it will probably appear in Snap's counterpart of ~/.minecraft; it's the per-user directory of the game, as opposed to system-wide. Then run the mod loader installer that matches the mods of your choice (Fabric, Forge etc), giving it the path to .minecraft, e.g.
java -jar fabric-installer.jar client -dir "~/Games/.minecraft"
This will, among others, create the respective .minecraft/mods dir, where you should drop all the mods.

Go get forge or other mod loaders, Minecraft doesn't automatically come with a mods folder. And one will be added after you install a mod loader to your Minecraft.
