So I've recntly decided to try and mod my minecraft, every mod says, open appdata, find the jar open with winrar add files close jar run minecraft=have fun. well everytime i try to load a mod, I get minecraft crash repot, followed my a java error. I've deleted the META INF folder, and I've only been putting them in the jar with out a folder to contain them, if this is the problem please let me know.
it seems the meta inf folder isnt replacing itself, is that problematic? also do i need to have the files in a folder or in a specific directory in the jar?
What version are you running? If you are NOT running 1.3_01, delete your bin file. When minecraft starts it will generate a new META-INF which will update Minecraft to 1.3_01. It's generally good to update. Now find mods that are compatible with 1.3_01 and install! If you don't want to change versions, just look for mods compatible with your current version. If you want a list of 1.3_01 mods, check out my sig.
wont deleting the bin file delet my jar and force me to get a new jar? in which case the point is moot, as my minecrafty jar isnt replacing the META INF folder, im up to 1.3_1, and im using the jar inside appdata/minecraft. is there anything im missing here?
download mods check
unpack mods check
open minecraft jar with winrar/7zip check
delete META INF check
stuff jar with mods
close jar
play minecraft
at this point i should be having fun playing minecraft with my mods, but after i hit log in i just get a black screen, all the mods should be 1.3_1 compliant as they say they are
Are the mods up to date? (version 1.3)
