I have been trying to get this mod to install and it either crashes, does nothing, or some odd response like simply restarting the launcher.
It has been unclear if I have to have a profile selected for the latest version, or a specific version. (As in, does the mod only work if I add everything to a 1.6.2 copy, or do I need to use 1.7.4?)
The frustration has been overwhelming. I follow directions but it leads me nowhere. In each video I have viewed, each problem I have seen resolved on a forum takes me in a promising direction, but they are in another version, not as new as 1.7.4. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I have tried adding everything into 1.6.4 mods, as it was called. I did again with 1.7.4 mods, both with identical results: nothing happened. I took every file, folder, and piece related to mods and dumped them all in, to no noticeable change.
I need modern directions to installing this mod. This is what I have done so far:
-Made a proper copy of version (i.e. 1.7.4 mods). Including renaming files and adding "mods" after "1.7.4" in the.jsn file.
-Download and extract mod files to above.jar
-Delete META-INF (this seems to be a popular thing to do)
-Made new profile that uses the above mod version
-Launch Minecraft
-Play with newly installed mods, or at least this is what is supposed to happen.
I need a map to follow. One that works with the newer versions that are out. People who have had trouble installing were in older versions and those are the only answers I find.
1) Do I need to install mods to the newest version, or one that they mention (as in, 1.6.4)?
2) Is there a step I'm missing?
3) This really should seem simple, yet I'm getting no successful results.
