I'm new to minecraft and had some questions about getting mods to work in 1.7.5
1. What's the best way to get the mods loaded into minecraft? I've tried the Minecraft Forge loader, but it says that I need to run 1.7.2. , the magic loader also seems to fail (it always says "no mods found" after i select the mod files), and modifying the minecraft.jar file doesn't seem to load the mod.
2. Do minor versions matter on a mod? I know a 1.6 mod won't work on 1.7.5, but will a 1.7.2 mod work in 1.7.5?
3. Is there some way to troubleshoot why the mod didn't load?
The best way to get mods to work in Minecraft is to downgrade to 1.7.2, first and foremost. There are way more mods for that version than for 1.7.5. After you've downgraded, you can install Forge.
Mods are not cross compatible with versions no matter the minor/major version relationships. This is why.
Chances are you're trying to install mods for an incompatible Minecraft version. If not, read through this guide on identifying and solving common crashes.
There are mods (is a mod) for 1.7.5, but since there are no usable coding tools for modders for that version yet, it'll still take a while before we see more of them.

I AM NOT YOUR PERSONAL MINECRAFT MOD SUPPORT AGENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT PM ME ABOUT PROBLEMATIC MODS THAT ARE NOT MINE. If you're having trouble/crashes with a mod, you'll have better luck resolving it in this forum section than PMing me. If you already made a topic, be patient about responses. If you have troubles with anything non-Minecraft related on your PC, I might be able to help, though, but no promises. Even though I could wish to be, I'm not a wizard.
