To run CreativeMode mods you must have the Fabric mod loader installed. Download the Fabric Installer from fabricmc.net, open it, choose Minecraft 1.21.5 and Loader version 0.16.14, then click Install. Finally, start Minecraft once with the new “Fabric” profile so it can finish setting up.

folder (explained below).4
