• Extend/resize/move partition

Fix 3. Disable Minecraft Mods

Mods help you have a better experience when playing Minecraft. However, when there is a conflict between the mod and Minecraft itself, the mod may cause Minecraft to become unresponsive. Therefore, you need to disable the mod:

• Add .disabled to the end of the mod filename.
• Move the mods folder from the Minecraft directory to another directory.
