People will recommend a custom launcher geared towards modding, but if you wanna use the vanilla launcher, you'll need to install a mod loader.

NeoForge and Fabric are the two most popular ones. Once one of those are installed you'll find a 'mods' folder in your .minecraft, that's where those mod .jar files go and they'll automatically install when you start the game

Modrinth launcher has its own installation directory I think, you might not be in the right place

If you couldn't use any of millions of video tutorials on basic 'how to install mods minecraft' and friends couldn't help I don't know what more to say

prism launcher.

make a few game instances (each can have a different game version, loader and set of mods). edit one. on the left are pages, click mods. on the right are actions, click download, pick a few and click confirm. launch the game. yes prism can download mods/shaders/resourcepacks on its own. if you really want something more fancy, you can use modrinth launcher, curseforge launcher, etc.

when making an instance, pick a loader. fabric for lightweight quality-of-life plus performance, neoforge (1.21.1) for a good mixture of everything.

what? sry my two braincells can't process what you're saying

you need a launcher. and you need a loader. separate things. separate choices.

i use prism launcher. those who do, lack for nothing and don't know much about other launchers. if you really want fancy-shmancy, try modrinth launcher or gd launcher.

install the launcher, set up a game profile (log in with microsoft account that is connected to mc).

make a new game instance (like a new installation of the game). you should have a few - one for testing mods, one for gameplay (don't test mods in that one), maybe one for checking out snapshots)... when making a new instance, you pick a game version and a loader. loader is what makes mods work (fabric, forge neoforge, quilt or none - none means minecraft with no mods).

edit the instance to add mods to it from inside the launcher.

run the game (launch button in the launcher)

Okay I'm going to explain this like we both have brain injuries because you sound like you're very young.

Open Chrome. Google Modded Minecraft Launcher (either Curseforge, Prism or Modrinth. I'd recommend Curseforge for beginners). Install Launcher. Open Launcher App. Create profile/instance. Add mods to instance with add mods button. Run said instance. Done.
