Im so confused. my versions folder isn't a folder its a file with nothing in it and my minecraft.jar is gone. I can play the game, but i want to get some mods on there. I spent the last 3 hours tring to figure this out. Halp plz.
Hey guys I'm going to explain step by step how to install Forge for 1.6.1 for people who don't want to wait for them to finish the installer.
In this tutorial I'm going to refer to the minecraft folder (.minecraft,Application Support/minecraft, etc.) as [minecraft]. For example, the saves folder is located at [minecraft]/saves.
1. Open [minecraft]/versions.
2. Duplicate 1.6.1
3. Rename to Forge-1.6.1
4. Open Forge-1.6.1
5. Rename 1.6.1.jar to Forge-1.6.1.jar
6. Rename 1.6.1.json to Forge-1.6.1.json
7. This step is do-able in to ways. Use 7a or 7b to accomplish this.
7.a Open Forge-1.6.1, delete all text, and paste in the following:
When I do this i go into the launcher and the only option it gives for what version to use is "Use Latest Version"?
When i tried with a clean (no saves, no nothing i just deleted my minecraft and generated a new one, i didnt even play it at all) minecraft it worked. Still i wonder why it didnt work the first time.
Now ILOVE YOU, iPixeli !!! Thank you so much !!! I am no stranger to modding minecraft, but this new launcher is just absurd. I was up till 2:30 in the morning, trying just to install forge. I read tutorials,watched them, and nothing worked. Your method of creating these folders and what ever that .json file was worked the first try !!! I'm soooooo glad I stumbled upon your thread....You better link this to everything and I will too, LOL....This new launcher is going to cause MAJOR grief for a lot of users... Thanks again iPixeli, for you---painter
So if you want to run both 1.5.2 and 1.6.1 clients (say your favorite server is 1.6.1, but you're playing a massively modded single-player game, too), is there some way to split up mods and coremods by version? The 1.6.1 Forge-modded client gets very unhappy if there are 1.5.2 coremods in the coremods folder. Anyway to fix this?
Hi, thanks for the step by step for installing forge to the client but i've had a few problems, i followed the route through '7b' and when i try to use that profile i get 2 errors, i will post the thread from the development console and maybe someone can help

Job 'Version & Libraries' finished with 2 failure(s)!
I was having this issue too. Tried twice and even deleted my .minecraft folder for a fully fresh install (since there were leftover old launcher stuffs in there). No go. Found another tutorial with this same info. It would appear the json file text given here is outdated already and the other site had a newer file. http://cl.ly/Q0YR. This one works for me.
Edit- After changing to the json I linked, be sure to update the launcher profile again to point to release fml-1.6.1. The version gets unset when the json changes and points to a blank version, which causes the launcher to hang.

When I go to the page where all the Minecraft Forge files are, I only see up to 1.5.2, no 1.6.1. I think there is a connection problem with me or something. Im just wondering if anyone is having the same problem.

Their website appears to be down from all the traffic.
This is a major update so no, older versions rarely work.

I agree about the new launcher.
Ikr. I think they're mostly trying to do away with third party launchers/installers. Funny how this new update makes everything harder.

The installer installs it almost instantly. I beg to differ.
