Minecraft 1.19 The Wild Update is out, and players will be downloading it to explore all the new features that come with it. With every new update that releases, the massive modding community of the game tries to release new, compatible versions of their mods. And since the release of Minecraft 1.19, the game has already seen several compatible versions of mods.

Since the game is easily configurable, some people in the community have come up with several custom modifications. Some mods can be used to add one item, while others can completely change the world generation and inventory of the game. Even though the update was released a few days ago, there is already an easy way to download loads of mods.

Once the modded game version has been created, players can go to this page, https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks, and select any mod they want to install. Players will have to select the 1.19 version to get the mods that are compatible. They can open the mod page and go to Downloads to install the mods directly through the Forge app. The orange button named Install will automatically connect with the Forge app to install the mod.
