Steps:
- Run ATLauncher.
- Click the Accounts tab.
- Create a new account with your Mojang username and password you got when you bought Minecraft. (I choose to enable Remember Password). Click Add.
- Click on the Packs tab.
- Find the Vanilla Minecraft modpack.
- Click New Instance.
- Give this instance a name. I used "My ComputerCraft World"
- Select version 1.8.9. THIS IS IMPORTANT! ComputerCraft 1.79 only works with Minecraft 1.8.9 as of October 30, 2017. (New updates from ComputerCraft are expected soon, hopefully.)
- Click Install.
- In the "Select Mods to Install" window, check the checkbox for Minecraft Forge (Recommended) (11.15.1.1722).
- Click Install.
- Now click on the Instances tab.
- Click on Edit Mods.
- Click Add Mod.
- For the "Type of Mod" dropdown, select "Inside Minecraft.jar"
- Click the Select button, then select the ComputerCraft1.79.jar file you downloaded from the ComputerCraft site.
- Click Add.
- Check the checkbox for "ComputerCraft1.79.jar"
- Click Enable Mod.
- The ComputerCraft mod will move over to the Enabled Mods side.
- Click Close.
- Click the Play button to start Minecraft, which now has the ComputerCraft mod. IMPORTANT: You do not want to update the Minecraft version, so click "Do not remind me again" after clicking Play.
Note that you can also install modpacks that include ComputerCraft, such as SkyFactory 2, Resonant Rise, or Yogscast Complete. But these modpacks contain many modpacks, and can use up a lot of memory while playing.
