Hello there. I'll be more than happy to help you install Minefantasy. I myself installed it last week, and love it so far.
First off, make sure you've run Minecraft version 1.5.2 at least once. You can switch versions in the launcher by going to "Edit Profile" (Located to the left of the giant play button), then halfway down the new dialog box that will pop up will be a "Use Version" drop down menu. Scroll down and select "Release 1.5.2", then click save.
Once you've done that, you can go and download Forge, as Minefantasy does not use Modloader. It is recommended that you download the launcher for build 738, which should be the second line on this page. You can run the installer from wherever you downloaded it to, there's no need to move it. The installer will copy the minecraft.jar and minecraft.json, and install Forge for you, so there's no need to open up the .jar and .json and mess around with it (But for future reference, open up your .minecraft folder, then find/open the "versions" folder. All the versions of minecraft you've run will have a labelled folder there containing the .jar and .json). It will also create a new profile for you in the launcher( it will call it "Forge"),which will be set by default to the Forge version you just installed. Once you've done this, launch the game using the "Forge" profile. You don't need to go into a world, just let it load to the main screen,then close it out.
Let me know when you've done this, and I'll give you further instructions from there. c:
so i dowloaded the 738 build you suggested and thats a file called setup_odm.exe what do i do with that? if i open it its chinese or something that i have no clue what it means.
from the link synth provided, i clicked installer for the 738 build on the page that took me to and it was some adfly thing
Hmm..that's strange. Clicking the install download link should take you to an ad
Ah! Got it. You need to click on the "Skip Ad" button in the top right corner to get to the download. The setup.ODM.exe that was downloaded was because you clicked on the Ad.
i went into the game under the forge profile and it has a whole new button for mods, yay!so now i guess i just need to figure out how to install minefantasy, i found one page that claimed to tell you how to install it but i think i did everything it told me to do and went in game again but it didnt do anything
Excellent! I'll give you the rest of the install process then.
As I said before, once Forge installs run the game using the "Forge" profile it will create. You only need to let it load to the main screen, no need to go into a world, then close it out. Seeing the "Mods" button is a good thing!
Now open up your .minecraft folder.( Easy access by going into the "Edit Profile" window, and down in the bottom right corner the button "Open Game Directory" will open it right up). There should be a new folder called "mods". Open that up and plop the Minefantasy mod file in.Then..
…that's it. Launch the game (always using the "Forge" profile), and enjoy! The bottom left corner of the main Minecraft screen should now say "4 mods blahblahblah" in white text, and Minefantasy should now be listed under that new "mods" button.
If you have any more problems with this or any other mod you are trying to install, feel free to message me and I'll do what I can to help out. c:

Have fun hoarding Cow and Pig hides. xD
I'd also highly recommend penning up and breeding cows/pigs as soon as you can(instead of flat out killing them all).
