Putting the downloaded jar file in a mod folder i created didnt seem to install it for me

Distant Horizons does not appear to work for me after adding the downloaded jar file for the minecraft version 1.21.1 while using minecraft version 1.21.1 I think its possible it is working but it is set to minecraft's default rendering as a default, and I would need to adjust the settings in either the setttings button to the left of the FOV slider or the config file as an alternative i saw in an FAQ, however I dont see the button, and im not sure how to get to the config file. But i dont know if any of this is the case.

Have you already installed a modloader like Fabric or Neoforge?

You should send your latest.log file to provide additional useful information. Logs are usually located in the .minecraft/logs directory. On Windows: %appdata%\.minecraft\logs On Linux: ~/.minecraft/logs On Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/logs Please upload the file to mclo.gs instead of sending the raw file. This makes reading the contents of the file a lot easier and improves the chances of you getting the help needed. After uploading the file, click on Save and send the link.

I only know of one official non third party minecraft launcher, and i use it. Is that enough information? If not, how should i go about specifying which one it is?

Well, yes it is. Mods have to be loaded in some way, and Minecraft isn't going to do that itself. If you're worried about file space, I recommend using Fabric. Its very lightweight and modloaders in general don't use much file space. /logs isn't a windows command. Its a discord bot command, that makes the bot respond with a certain message

right in the bot message it says to look at appdata.minecraft.logs

Yea, thats enough The log you sent is definitely not a minecraft log, but the cause of your issue is found anyways, so theres no use for it now
