The Minecraft Jade mod can be installed using a mod loader. For this guide, we will use the popular Curseforge and its mod loader, with access to a vast repository of customization options for all versions of Minecraft.

Here's how you can download and install the Jade mod, one of the best resource mods in Minecraft:

1. Head over to Curseforge and download the launcher.
2. Once downloaded and logged in, search for the Minecraft Jade mod by Snownee. Alternatively, you can click on this link to get to the download page.
3. If you wish to manually install the mod, click on the Download button and place the ZIP file in the mods folder. It is quite easy since this is a drag-and-drop mod. However, it is recommended to use the Curseforge loader if you aren't familiar with mod installations.
4. Click the orange Install button, which will redirect you to the downloaded Curseforge app.
5. You will be prompted to create a new instance. You can choose an existing instance, but choosing a new instance is recommended as it avoids conflicts with existing mods and eliminates the risk of world corruption. Name your instance and create it.
6. After creating the profile, you will be redirected to the instance. Click the orange Play button on the right to launch Minecraft with the Jade mod successfully installed.

How to use the Minecraft Jade mod

The Minecraft Jade mod essentially displays the name and type of item you are looking at by hovering over the block or item. It works on all kinds of mobs and spawn items, making you more aware of your surroundings.

This mod supports all new items introduced to Minecraft and supports the latest 1.21.1 build on Neoforge-based instances (installations). This essentially allows players to view information and features of the upcoming Bundles of Bravery drop. It will show the status of your bundle and how many empty slots are left in it, making it a nifty add-on ahead of the game drop.

You can also use the Minecraft Jade Mod when mining for resources to make sure you collect the right kind of items. Sometimes, it is difficult to distinguish between a few different types of resources, but with this add-on, you can simply hover over the block to get the required information.

If you wish to improve the performance of the Jade Mod in Minecraft and add more features to it, you can install the Just Enough Items (JEI) by mezz.

Adding the JEI mod will also display the uses of a particular block or mob, allowing you to discover and unlock new recipes without stumbling across them.

Here's how you can install the Just Enough Items add-on with your existing Jade installation:

• Open up the instance with the Minecraft Jade Mod installed.
• Select the Add More Content button on the top-right section.
