This precaution helps prevent crashes that could occur if the game tries to load while you are editing files. Next, open your Minecraft directory; on Mac, you can do this by opening Finder, pressing Command + Shift + G, typing `~/Library/Application Support/minecraft`, and clicking Go. Finally, inside the `.minecraft` directory, you will find a folder named 'mods', which is where all your installed mod `.jar` files are stored.
