Simple Mod Installation: For Windows
Step 1: Locate your .minecraft folder and make a copy of it!(Type %APPDATA% into the Search bar on the start menu)
Step 2:Go to the Folder in the .minecraft folder named "bin"
Step 3:Download WinRar or 7-zip (Search on google)
Step 4:Open the file with WinRar/7-zip in the bin named: Minecraft.jar (Not minecraft 1.2.3/any version.jar! Just minecraft.jar!)
Step 5: Locate the "META INF" folder and delete it! (It blocks mods!)
Step 6:Now just Drag and drop ALL of the required mod part files into the minecraft.jar,If you have to install more than one DO IT IN THIS ORDER! Skip the mod part if it is not required! EX: Sdk's mods requires Modloader, Modloader MP so you skip Player API, etc..
Modloader
ModloaderMP
Audio Mod
Player API
turbomodelthingy
Anything other API!
Minecraft Forge
Always install MC Forge last!
Step:7Now for the mod itself, just drag and drop ALL of the files into the minecraft.jar
Step:8 Play!
Please note for some mods, they have to be put a folder named "mods" in the .minecraft folder.To do this, simply go to the .minecraft folder, and create a folder called "mods", and drag and drop the mod into the "mods" folder.
Useful tips:
Create a back up of the CLEAN .minecraft folder somewhere you can find it.
Don't use MC patcher to install mods, as it can install some mods incorrectly
Create a folder on the desktop to put all of your mods (WARNING:Delete all of the mods that you have in there every time minecraft has a new update!They wont work anymore!)
Install Optifine!
Make sure you only download mods from the Minecraft forum, and the planet minecraft forum,Only from trusted sites!
Read the entire forum for the mod you're downloading, for more installation steps, more info, etc...
Troubleshooting:Q:I got a black screen!
A:Delete META-INF
Q:I deleted META-INF and still got a black screen!
A:You are either missing a mod required to run the mod, or a mod is incompatible
Q:It says Minecraft has crashed and i cant play!
A:Go to the MC launcher and select the options tab and select Force Update, and start the game, or Post the crash report onto the topic where you got the mod.
Q: I force updated and it still doesn't work!
A:Clear the mods folder, and if that doesnt work, then copy the saves file to the back-up folder and delete your .minecraft folder and copy and paste the back-up .minecraft folder where the old one was.
Q:My mod wont work!
A: Delete META-INF! OR make sure you have the right version of the mod!
Q:Tutorial for Macs/other computers?
A:No I will not make a tutorial for computers other than Windows! Get Windows 7/Windows Vista!
