1. install the fabric mod loader
2. on your computer navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
3. find/make a folder called mods and open it
4. paste the mod (.jar file) into the folder
5. open the minecraft launcher and run the Fabric Loader installation
6. Enjoy!
(btw i recommend also installing the Sodium mod for omega fps improvements)

ew mac?
ok then
go to https://fabricmc.net/use/
download the .jar
get Java 8
run the jar installer
just click through directories, select the version and whatnot
after the installer does its job, create a folder called "mods" in the directory Fabric is installed in
*make sure to download the Fabric API*
drag the fabric API .jar into the mods folder
now create a profile for Fabric, and select the directory.
get your mods, drag them into the "mods" folder, and run the game.
ok that's it bye

Actually, Lithium (and its family of optimization mods) do not need the Fabric API to run. And seriously, we mac users are often stuck with it against our will. Apple the company has been doing really bad things recently, but their products, especially older ones, are still quite good.

Minecraft's data contains a folder with a program for each version you play. In order to install a standalone mod (optifine) or a modloader (forge, fabric) you must run a program that takes a vanilla minecraft file for that version and makes a copy with the mod's (or modloader's) changes. Because Minecraft is built in Java, these are Java programs (.jar) which can be opened using the command line (terminal app).
Because newer systems use graphical interfaces and menus to do everything, most people do not need to learn how to use the terminal anymore. However, it gives you direct control over what you do and how you do it. In order to execute a jar on a mac directly, I think you need to install the java developer kit (JDK) and then type the command
where <file name.jar> is the name of the program (for example Optifine_1.16.2_HDUG3.jar) and you can use tab to autocomplete it.
Then, for fabric and forge, you can create a folder in your minecraft folder named "mods" and put any mod files (jars for example) in there and they will be compiled when you start the game.
