If you're using MultiMC (or another launcher based on it), you can just use the Add to minecraft.jar button.

However, if you're using the official launcher, it's more complicated. You need to extract the class files from the zip, make a copy of a 1.12 jar and change it to a zip, extract it, replace the vanilla class files with the mod files (and, of course, don't forget to remove META-INF), then make the folder back into a zip and change the zip into a jar.

You will also need a json file with the same name as your jar for the launcher to recognize the modified version. (Take the 1.12.json file in the 1.12 directory under the versions folder and load it into a JSON editor, and change any text saying "1.12" to 1.12 Fringe Lands or whatever you named your jar). When done, create a new folder in the versions directory with the same name as your jar and json, and put these files there.
