Anyways, I have bought Minecraft (well, I am tomorrow -- Paypal still hasn't gone through) and I'd like to say a quick little hello, and ask for a few little pointers. (I have played the PC Gamer demo, so I know the controls quite well.) So anyways, hello everyone, glad to join the Minecraft community and hope to see some of you on a multiplayer server one day, if I chose to try them.
Now onto my question (I will be browsing for answers aswell.) How do I insert texture packs and/or mods? (Doubt I'll use a mod anytime soon, but I'd liked to know anyways.)

Hey Each, nice to meet ya!
I'm not really new to Minecraft, but I'm brand new to the forums...
As far as your question about texture packs/mods: Texture packs are easy, just launch minecraft.exe, and then click "mods and texture packs" in main menu once you log in. Open the texture pack folder and drag the zip into it.
Mods are a little more tricky, you've got to open minecraft.jar with an archive program (I use 7-zip). Then delete the META-INF file, and drag the mod files into the jar. Or, for simplicity's sake, use Risugami's ModLoader and MCPatcher, that's what I do :tongue.gif:)
