• What do I do if I don't have a META-INF folder or minecraft.jar? 1 answer

I have been playing Minecraft for a while, but I recently decided to try mods.

I managed to bypass the bin folder, since everything I needed could apparently be found in the versions folder.

I am being told that I need a minecarft.jar folder, which isn't in 'versions', and I have no bin folder either.

I enabled 'show hidden files', but nothing showed up.

I am trying to install Tinker's Construct. Am I doing something wrong

Grab a copy of forge at http://files.minecraftforge.netThen grab Tinkers' Construct from http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/1287648-tinkers-constructMake sure it's for the same version of Minecraft as the version of forge version of Minecraft.

Run the forge installer (you need to have downloaded the vanilla version of Minecraft before you can run the installer)

Run Minecraft using the new profile named Forge. This should create a mods folder in your minecraft directory

Mc directory is in %APPDATA%/.Minecrafton windows and on Mac it's in ~/Library/Application Support/Minecraft

Drop the Tinkers' Construct file into your mods folder, start up Minecraft using the forge profile again and then you're done

You are probably in the wrong folder, to access the minecraft folder type %appdata% in the searchbar, open .minecraft, open versions, game version number, and the .jar should be there. If it isn't, this might have to do with the fact that you aren't using the newer version of the minecraft launcher (or if you're using the pirated version)

Got a mod that isn’t compatible with the latest version of Minecraft? Don’t worry, fixing that is nice and simple. Some mods require you to roll back to an older version of Minecraft, and some require you to install older legacy versions of Forge. Here's a quick guide to doing both.

Rolling back the client

If you can't wait for your favourite mod to make the jump to the latest version, you can easily rollback the game client to previous versions, such as the widely supported 1.2.5.

1. Download the 1.2.5 Jar file from the Minecraft servers.

2. Type %appdata% into either the Start Bar or the Run command prompt.

3. Open the .minecraft folder and, inside it, the bin folder.

4. Back the existing Minecraft.jar for when you want to upgrade back to 1.3.2, then copy and replace the 1.2.5 jar file into the bin folder.

Installing legacy versions of Forge
