I cannot figure out how to install mods into Minecraft! So far, it seems to require "jailbreaking" and is a pain in the head just to think about. But I so wish I could. I use software called "WinAce"(from Windows 95), and followed all directions for the ModLoader, ModLoaderMP, and mod itself. What I got was, in MC 1.8.1, a black screen, and in MC 1.0.0, a (very pretty - good job Notch!Smile ) a crash screen. I did delete the META-INF folder. PLEASE HELP, someone knowledgable!

You just need to download something like MC Patcher or ModLoader.

If you need help with the steps just post where you get lost or stuck.

The two mod loaders could be conflicting, try only installing one at a time. Also, why aren't you using 7-Zip? Try installing a different, simpler mod to figure out how to do it (TooManyItems is pretty good for this), and install the mod you want later.

Edit: Autocorrect sucks

What sort of mods are you trying to install? I'm assuming that you have a legitimate copy of Minecraft; if so, you should join us on the Evocat.us PvP/Build server when we get it up and running with MC 1.0.0 in a week or two.

What Kerm said. What mod are you trying to use? Are you sure you are using the right files? Etc

I am trying to install the ChristmasCraft mod, and I have no idea how to install it. It didn't come with a readme. Has anyone else installed the ChristmasCraft Mod?

I just figured WinAce should work as well as 7-zip, which I would prefer not to download unless neccessary because we have a 3G network w/ limited data.

I would think that you do thing

1. Install modloader
2. Delete meta-inf
3. Install chrismascraft mod, be sure to move/replace correct files/folders into the right place of the minecraft.jar...

How in the world do I install modloader? Also, how do I know where to put the ChristmasCraft Mod? (It is a .jar file + a "resource" folder.)

You just download it, and run it.

Download ChristmasCraft 1.0 for Client 1.0.0 here: Adf.ly MediaFire
1) Risugami's ModLoader and ModLoaderMp are required for this mod! Install and run them once first!
2) Unzip the ChristmasCraft download, and you will find ChristmasCraft_client.jar file and a "resources" folder
3) Copy ChristmasCraft_client.jar into your ".minecraft/mods/" directory
4) Copy the "resources" folder into your ".minecraft/" directory, merging it with the existing "resources" folder
5) Spread some Christmas cheer!
18 Dec 2011 12:52:31 am by CalebHansberry Quote
@qazz42: I did all that. What I got was the above, NOT Christmas cheer!
18 Dec 2011 12:59:45 am by qazz42 Quote
Did you install modloaderMP too? I think that is needed. Did you move the Christmas_Client.jar into the "minecraft/mods" and not "minecraft/mod"?

did you delete the meta-inf from the minecraft.jar?

Oh! I Downloaded 7-Zip, and it solved all my problems! Seriously! WinAce of Windows 95 fame did not work. So. Download 7-zip if you have any trouble! Thank you all for the help, especially Souvik1997! It worked!
18 Dec 2011 09:56:50 am by qazz42 Quote
Wait.. what? You were using WinAce? Psh, no wonder it was not working XD

(and also, I think pretty much everyone here using 7zip, as they are cool like that Very Happy)

Ok, so now how do I install the Walled Cities Mod? It is for 1.8.1... I have 1.8.1, if it requires it. I tried to install it, but it gave me a black screen.

Right above the section known bugs are a couple of download links.
