Ok, your wondering what does Universal means. It means how to install any mod in many ways. The first way:
Manual (excluding Millernare, and other mods that require other steps will be explained later)
1.Spill the contents of the mod into minecraft.jar
2.Make sure everything is in.
3.Delete the META-INF, and double check.
4.Close the application you used to open minecraft.jar
5.Open up minecraft.
6.If the Mojang logo shows, and the menu shows after, have fun!
Manual (For Millernare or some other mods that require a special installion)
1.Make sure that the folder that has the mod/mods that it gets into the folder it supposed to be in (Such as the folder name is "PUT IN MINECRAFT FOLDER")
2.If you need to put some files into minecraft.jar follow steps 1-3 above. (If not just skip this step)
3.If you haven't already delete the META-INF folder in minecraft.jar.
4.Make sure that everything is right.
5.If the Mojang logo shows, and the menu shows after, have fun!
Troubleshooting:
Q: I get a black screen!
A:You most likely didn't delete the META-INF folder in minecraft.jar.
A:Some mods REQUIRE modloader, even if your not running multiple mods.
Q:My game/computer freezes when I play multiplayer!
A:This rarely happens, but it does. Some mods are ONLY meant for multiplayer.
Q:When I spill the contents of my mod into minecraft.jar it says: "Multiple files where dropped, and one or more is an archive"
A:Happens sometimes, just press yes if you take this risk.
Q:What do I need to install a mod?
A:7zip or WinZip, modloader, and audiomod, and a fresh minecraft.jar
Q:How to I get a fresh minecraft.jar?
A:Go to options when you open Minecraft.exe, and press "Force Update", then login.
