I use Minecraft on a shared computer that I am not the admin of. I downloaded Curseforge on my account, as well as a mod and the Minecraft launcher, but the CurseForge app itself seems to only be available on the admin account. I don't predict I will get the password to the admin account anytime soon, and I can't play the mod on my account because I can't access Curseforge. Is there any way to solve this?
Yeah you can just not use the curseforge application and use something that works like MultiMC.
Manually download the pack from curseforge site and import using MultiMC. Works seamlessly.
To download the mods: where you’d normally click install from the curseforge site, just copy it’s URL and change the ‘y’at the end to ‘n’ and happy downloading.
There is one thing you can also do which i just found out. You can change the path which the mods are installed. Through your settings. Firstly, open your settings. After that, press the Minecraft Icon and you will see that in the top there is the path and a button that says "Change". Press that and type C:\Users\Public. Then, create a folder (by pressing Ctrl+Shift+N) and name it "minecraft mods" for example. Finally, click select folder and everything must be ok after you've done this. In the "Public" folder are all the shared files between the accounts so everyone will have access to them. I have tried to put them in my own directory BUT IT DOESN'T WORK!!! DO ONLY THE STEPS ABOVE!!! Hope there is any issue with this solution I gave you. If there is feel free to reply :D
u download the texture pack u want then u open the folder when its located after this u open minecraft press escape press option/video settings/resource packs and then u hit open folder and drag the file that you downloaded to that folder
