How to download the game, maps and mods.

How to download minecraft.

Go to minecraft.net and if you are buying it for the first time click on 'Get Minecraft' or if you already have it just under it there is a link saying download now, click that.

When you are making your account make sure you put in a password you will remember. As your age put it in as if you're 18 if you are a child so you can pass otherwise it will say you are too young.

For your in-game username (preferably) make sure you don't put in your own name as this username will be seen by thousands of random people, and its cooler to have a username than your own name. Also try to avoid putting numbers in your username so it looks more genuine.

Once you have chosen your username, buy the account, and proceed to the download screen.

Download minecraft.exe. (note this version doesn't need jawa)  

Once the installer is downloaded install minecraft and agree with all the terms and conditions.

And done you have gotten minecraft!!

How to download maps.

Search the map you want to download and download it. Preferably use minecraftforums.

After its downloaded copy the file. Then either use windows search (the start menu search) or Cntrl+R (Run) and type in %appdata% and press enter. In that folder find .minecraft and open it.

Go into saves and paste in the map.

Open minecraft pc and the map will be there in single player. But if it is a multiplayer map you can download it on your server and then you can play with your friends 
                       
                      Or
Keep the map in singleplayer and see if your friend can come to your house and then you can plaw on  LAN (both people using the same Wi-Fi).

How to download mods.

There are two ways to download mods.

Either download a modpack launcher or download mods and put it in the minecraft files.

To download a modpack launcher  go to the next paragraph (more convinient for multiple modpacks)(A)

To download mods separately (easier) go to the paragraph after (B)

A

To download the modpack launcher go to this link and download accordingly http://www.technicpack.net/download 

(windows, Osx or linux)
Now once the installer is downloaded install technic launcher.
Now download jawa which is required for the modpacks to run.
https://www.java.com/en/download/
After jawa is downloaded open the technic launcher and from this point its really simple.
Just search the name of the mod/modpack you need and it will come then all you do is download it.
This is 100% safe :D
Sometimes you may run in to this problem that the mod/modpack isn't starting in this case follow these steps
Go to the link Jawa fix and download the fix. Once its fully installed either use windows search (the start menu search) or Cntrl+R (Run) and type in %appdata% and press enter. Then open .technic. Then open modpacks. Then open the modpack you need to fix, then open mods and paste the file in there. This should fix it.
Thanks to NitroFox0 for the fix.
