    I'm going to put this in the tutorials section because I know tons of people have been struggling with this.
    1.6 changes the way you install mods entirely and this is a tutorial on how to install them if you can't get a launcher that does it for you to work correctly. :)

    Nice video. Also if you use Forge (its 1.6.1 not sure about 1.6.1) it has an installer and all you do is put mods in the mod folder it makes.

    That's the same amount of sections, harry.
    It's just one click for me to add a mod.
    You seem particularly in love with MultiMC. Any reason?

    I don't know if I did this wrong but I think this way to install mods only works on windows 7+. Mabey I just didn't listen to the video right but I did it on my laptop the same way and it worked first try so idk why it isnt working for windows xp. If somebody knows how to can you please help me :)

    There are a lot of steps to mess up on. o_O
    I use magic launcher also but it is good to know how to install them manually just in case since it is completely different now.

    I did it the same way I did it to my laptop. The only thing that will not work is when you make the new profile and choose the new version.

    I use MagicLauncher for all of my mod needs. I did try out the new launcher from Mojang for a little while, but I was not a fan of the process to install mods that I wanted in the game. MagicLauncher just lets me do it with a couple of clicks.

    Why exactly doesn't it work for you? Everyone I've talked to and myself use it daily and it never skips a beat.
    Maybe I can help you to get yours working?
