While it's possible to manually install Minecraft modpacks, the process is a bit complicated. For this reason, it's recommended to use a mod launcher like CurseForge, MultiMC, etc. to install Cute Craft.

Here are the steps you can follow to install the modpack using the CurseForge mod launcher client:

Head to https://www.curseforge.com/ in your web browser and click on the "Get CurseForge App" button. Scroll down to choose the appropriate download method for your operating system. Run the installer and ensure that CurseForge is installed on your device and recognizes your Minecraft installation. The grass block icon should appear on your game list to the left of your CurseForge client's main window.
On your web browser, head to https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/cuter-minecraft to reach the Cute Craft CurseForge page. Then, click on the orange Install button. This should open CurseForge and create a new instance for the modpack, which will then be downloaded to your client under the "My Modpacks" section. From here, you can tap the Play button on the modpack's icon and enjoy the modpack in its own tailor-made instance of the game launcher and client.

Getting started with the Cute Craft modpack for Minecraft

There's no defined storyline, tutorial, or guidebook for Cute Craft, so players are free to do as they please right from the moment they spawn in their game world. However, if players want to get an idea of what kind of content they'll be experiencing before diving into Survival Mode, it's worth starting a world in Creative Mode to sample the new blocks, items, mobs, and more.

It's also worth noting that with so many new resources and items/blocks, it's best to keep a very sharp eye on one's recipe book. As new materials are collected, new crafting recipes will appear, and these can be crucial for finding one's way through the modpack. Exploration is also encouraged, as new biomes and mobs can be discovered this way, which is well worth keeping in mind.

All in all, this modpack is created to enhance players' Minecraft Survival Mode experiences. This means simply playing through Survival Mode and performing the usual tasks should lead to new discoveries every step of the way.
