This is a list and guide of how to install and use commonly used mods that can be used for 1.8 versions of Civ.
== Modloader Installation ==
If not already downloaded, install [https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=8 Java version 8]. Make sure and scroll down in the options and change "Java version" to "Java 8 (LTS)" and select the install method for your system (usually an <syntaxhighlight inline>.msi</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight inline>.dmg</syntaxhighlight>).
=== Launcher Install (recommended) ===
Use [https://prismlauncher.org/ Prism Launcher] to install different versions of Minecraft and modpacks concurrently. When creating an instance, make sure to select <syntaxhighlight inline>1.8.9</syntaxhighlight> and also select Forge (or Liteloader) as the installer. [https://prismlauncher.org/wiki/getting-started/create-instance/ For more information, click here.]
When downloading mods, you can install them directly from Curseforge within Prism Launcher's client. [https://prismlauncher.org/wiki/getting-started/download-mods/ See here for how to do so.]
=== Manual install ===
'''Forge''' is the primary modloader available for this version. [https://files.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.8.9.html Install it here.]
'''Liteloader''' can also optionally be installed for mods that don't require changing game mechanics. [https://www.liteloader.com/download#snapshot_1890 Install it here.]
== Mod List ==
Please note: this is not an exhaustive, nor approved list of mods; this is merely a list of mods that are widely used within Civ. '''Please make sure you comply with the server's rules before installing these mods''', you are downloading and using these mods at your own risk.
If you're using a launcher system, you may be able to directly download these mods from the launcher itself. You can find all of these mods on Curseforge.
