+#### Installing Mods
+
+Mods can be installed client- and server-side.
+For client-side mods most [up-to-date clients](#client) feature an easy installation process.
+Especially [MultiMC5 and its derivatives](/wiki/games/multimc5.md) have an easy way to achieve
+this.
+For the installation of server-side mods the process can vary slightly depending on the
+[server host](#server).
+For the [itzgs minecraft server](/wiki/docker/itzg_-_minecraft-server.md) running on
+[Docker](/wiki/docker.md) visit the
+[mod section of that entry](/wiki/docker/itzg_-_minecraft-server.md#installation-of-mods).

+#### Installing Datapacks
+
+The installation of datapacks is to be done for a specific world or a specific server.
+This section will describe a process that works for both single-player worlds aswell as multiplayer
+servers.
+First navigate to minecrafts folder that corresponds to the world you want to add the datapack to.
+Then place the `.zip` archive containing the datapack inside the `datapacks` folder.
+The resulting path is either `world/datapacks` for multiplayer servers like 
+[itzgs minecraft server](/wiki/docker/itzg_-_minecraft-server.md) or `saves/<world name>/datapacks`
+where `<world name>` is the name of the single player world.
