Please help if you can. My six year old is fascinated with Minecraft and now mods (he could watch the video reviews endlessly). I've got some mods running, but they're all for Minecraft 1.7.2.
Here's the issue. I know in launcher how to run different versions of Minecraft. We have Forge for 1.7.2 installed and we also have Forge for 1.6.4 installed. On the launcher, as long as I pick the 1.7.2 version and ONLY have 1.7.2 mods in the mods folder in my .minecraft directory, all is well and the mods run. Currently, we have the Lord of the Rings mod and the Twilight Forest mod.
When I put a 1.6.4 mod in the folder, then try to choose minecraft 1.6.4 and forge 1.6.4, I don't get the "mods" button on the launcher. It acts like no mods are there, even though there is a 1.6.4 mod in the mods folder. (The one we tried with is Orespawn 1.6.4).
Also, if I have just one mod that is not 1.7.2 in the mods folder (the orespawn mod), when I go back to play Minecraft 1.7.2, I get this error (see below). To make my 1.7.2 mods work again, I have to delete anything that is not 1.7.2.
So my question is, how do you make the different versions of mods work? Are you supposed to put them in different mods folders? If so, how does it know where to go to get them?
Sorry if these are dumb questions. I appreciate any help.
