I'm really happy with this new "Mods and Textures" button Notch added, making textures way easier to add, but there's one problem. I have no idea how to correctly add mods without making the whole game mess up. I insert them right and everything, but when I load up the game, right before the Majong logo appears, the browser goes black, and won't do anything but let me exit it out and move it around the screen. Have anyone experienced this?
Much appreciated.
Unfortunately, the "Mods and Texture Packs" are only for texture packs at this point. To add mods to your game, you must add them to the minecraft.jar file in the bin folder. You can find the bin folder by clicking the "Open texture pack folder" button in the "Mods and Texture Packs" menu. Then, go up one folder, and the bin folder should be right there. Go into that folder and open minecraft.jar with 7zip, WinRar, or a similar program. Drag the downloaded mod files into jar and then delete the META-INF folder in the jar. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Once you do that, you can load up the download client and your mod should run. Mods currently do not work in-browser. I am not sure why, but maybe someone more technically inclined would be able to tell you.
Much appreciated.
Minecrafter is a more efficient and time saving way of using mods.
Use it.
