Note that you will typically have to login with your real Minecraft username and password. You simply pick a pack from the list and it automatically installs the pack for you. The launchers make it very easy to play modpacks. The Twitch desktop app used to be a popular way to play modpacks, but this has been replaced by the Overwolf launcher. I recommend using the Feed The Beast (FTB) Launcher when playing modpacks made by FTB (a group of people that make modpacks) or the Curseforge/Overwolf launcher for other modpacks. Since modpacks are not included with the base game of Minecraft, you will have to download third-party launchers or manually install mod files. As you can see, the pack you pick is very important and will determine the type of game you play. In other packs, you might face fierce dragons in the main world. For example, in a skyblock pack there is no land in the game and you have to build on a floating island.
