HELP ME!!!sorry, forget that second bit, it was useless
okay, sorry. i need help [full stop] there are 3 problems... 1. i have archive utility in my bar down the bottom but it wont come up as an option when i open minecraft.jar! 2. i need to know where to put archive utility so it works 3. are there any other alternatives to archive utility?
EDIT: archive is working. completed all steps. minecraft not loading. HELP!!!
i dont know, i completed all the steps, but when i opened minecraft, it wouldnt open properly, it would log on, start loading then just stop...
it did the exact same thing to me? can a computer expert please show their face and explain all this. becuase ive been searching for a year and every time the farthest i get is that miecraft starts loading then just stops at that screen
Step 1: Go to the official Forge site- http://www.minecraft...x.php?board=3.0
Step 2: Click the CORRECT minecraft version. (If it is not there, then they haven't updated yet)
Step 3: Click on either Universal Adfly or Universal Direct. To use Adfly, you must wait 5 seconds and then click skip ad.
Step 4: Now in finder, unzip minecraft forge, (double click on it)
Step 5: Now take a break from forge and go to finder->your user->Library->Application Support->.minecraft->bin
Step 6: Right click minecraft.jar and click open with. Click Archive Utility or anything else EXEPT jar launcher.
Step 7: There should now be a folder named minecraft-1. Delete minecraft.jar.
Step 8: Right click minecraft-1 and click Get Info. Rename minecraft-1 to minecraft.jar
Step 8: Next you must go back to the forge folder and copy EVERYTHING. All class files, text, EVERYTHING.
Step 9: Drag or copy/paste the Forge files into the minecraft folder that we named minecraft.jar
NOTE: FOR MACS YOU DO NOT MESS WITH MEAT-INF. DO NOT DELETE IT!!!!
Step 10: Start up minecraft and it should look something like this.......
See the mods folder.
You now have forge installed.
Now you may be thinking What does Forge do?
Well you can install mods be just dragging into the mods folder.
How to install mods using Forge...
Step 1: Download your mod. Lets do Rei Minimap.
Here is Rei Minimap--
[1.4.5] [Nov.21] Rei's Minimap v3.2_05 - Minecraft Forum
NOTE: The miracle of forge is that once it is installed, you don't have to mess with the class files.
Step 2: Download Rei Minimap and find it in Finder->Your User ->Downloads.
Step 3: COPY THE .ZIP FILE,, DO NOT UNZIP IT. this counts fore ALL forge mods.
Step 4: Copy the ReiMinimap zip file and either drag or copy/paste it into Finder->Your User->Library->Application Support->.minecraft
Step 5: Create a folder in .minecraft and name it mods
Step 6: Place ReiMinimap.zip or whatever into mods
Done
