  2. Open Start Menu, type %appdata%/.minecraft/bin and press Enter.

  4. Now open the mod zip file with same WinRAR (refer to Step #1)
  5. Drag and Drag FML zip file contents (files and folders) into the root of Minecraft.jar

  • well the thing is that forge keeps updating to get the right version for that minecraft mod version. i would suggest:
    1. check to see if mod is 1.5.2
    2. check to see if your minecraft is 1.5.2
    3. delete everything that is minecraft related off of your computer then re-install it
    4. look for some videos about it

    or your just SOL

  • How to download / install(Whatever you wanna call it)

    1.Go to your minecraft and click options and click force update.(This will COMPLETELY refresh your minecraft…meaning mods will be gone)

    2.Go to %appdata%/roaming/.minecraft/bin.open minecraft.jar with winrar(its minecraft only actually)then go to ur FML(Forgemodloader) and drag all the files there to the minecraft.jar file and delete META-INF.

    3.Open minecraft and ENJOY!

  • if you are having problems getting it to work, open the META-INF file in the original minecraft.jar and only delete the two files with mojang in their name. It should work after that.

  • While i was installing the client It says “Error Downloading These libraries failed to download ora-sgalang:org scala (bla bla bla)” How can i fix this? Please help 🙁

  • Everybody, i think this may work, you just delete the META-INF in the minecraft.jar before installing Forge, then you install Forge, another META-INF will appear in minecraft.jar after you install Forge, that
    META-INF is for Forge. so just don’t replace the META-INF.

  • When ever I install and try to get on a server that requires FML it says I don’t have it installed even when I click install client and hit “Ok”
