[Guide] [1.12.2] Modding your client for Auscraft + mod downloads

Introduction

So I see a lot of people asking what mods
I use myself​
are not/allowed to be used​
are updated for X version​
work and don't work​
So this will just be a quick guide on how to install mods and what mods are most commonly used on the server along with download links. I will try to keep this thread as updated as possible and will update links when the server changes version.

3. LiteLoader Mods (with downloads) [MG02]
4. FAQ [MG03]


Important Notes
- This guide will primarily be for Windows/PC. If there is demand, guide will be updated for Linux/Mac OS
- This guide will focus on LiteLoader. I may or may not decide to make a Forge guide in the future.
- Images will not be updated to show the current version AusCraft is running (Unless there are some major changes) so please make sure you are using the correct version when installing.

Please refer to Pages 17 and 18 of the AusCraft rules book for mods that are and are not allowed.
Please use mods and my guide at your own risk. The majority of links are reposted/reuploaded from original sources but I cannot guarantee that they do not contain viruses.

I am posting this thread as an educational tool for users to install modifications. Posting this thread does not mean I take responsibility for what you or others use this for.

If I have missed any mods that is popular or you would like me to try update a mod to the current version of AusCraft, comment or send me a message.

FAQ[MG03]

Q: I've installed LiteLoader but it says 0 mods installed. Cri..
A: Make sure the mods are in the version number folder of the version you are running. e.g \.minecraft\mods\1.12.2

Q: The mods you have put up for 1.12.y still say they are for 1.12.x when I download them. Will this work?
A: Most likely I have changed the version for the mod, just not the file name. Give it a go and it should work. If not leave me a message in the comments saying which mod is not working.
