An easy way to get to this folder is by opening Minecraft, going to options and then resource packs. Click open resource pack folder. Once in this folder go one folder back to .minecraft and then scroll until you find the mods folder. Open this up, we will use this later.
Step 2: Find Forge Download
Go to http://files.minecraftforge.net/ Find the version of Forge you would like to install. If you want to play On Minecraft 1.8 install Forge 1.8. Once you select which version you want go to *Download Recommended and click Installer.
Step 3: Downloading Forge Installer
When you click Installer it will bring you to a Adfoc.us page. DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING. Wait until a red Skip button appears in the top right corner, then click it. It will open another tab. Close this tab. If you are using Google Chrome at the bottom there should be a message asking to keep or discard. Please keep. If you are on another browser something similar should happen.
Step 4: Installing Forge
Once it has downloaded run the file. A window should pop up asking you to install Client, Server or Extract. Install client. Make sure it installs to your .minecraft folder wherever that is located for you. You will have needed to run the version of Minecraft once before downloading that same version of forge. Ex. Run Minecraft 1.8 before Downloading Forge 1.8. When its done press the OK button.
Step 5: Forge Set Up
Now open your Minecraft Launcher. Go to the Profile tab at the bottom left. Try to find a profile named Forge. Click on this profile and click the Edit Profile button. Rename it Forge 1.8 and save.
Step 6: Installing mods
If you have forge 1.8 make sure all the mods you download are for 1.8. If you install a mod and it comes in a zip folder then open the zip folder and inside should be the mod. Take the mod and drop it in your mods folder.
Step 7: Mods not working
If mods aren't working then it probably means either of these 3 things. 1-Wrong version 2-Missing Required Mod 3-Mods not compatible. After your done installing mods and fixing them. Open up Minecraft in the Forge Profile you just created.
YOUR DONE!! WOOHOOO!! ALL THOSE HOURS OF HEADBANGING FRUSTRATION ARE OVER!! NOW YOU CAN INSTALL MODS. REMEMBER YOU CAN HAVE FORGE FOR 1.8, 1.7.10, 1.7.9, 1.7.5, 1.7.4, 1.7.1, 1.7, 1.6.4, ETC. AFTER YOU DO THIS A COUPLE TIMES YOU WILL GET THE HANG OF IT!! ITS SIMPLE TO REMEMBER!! SAVE THIS PAGE AS A BOOKMARK OR FAVORITES SO YOU CAN COME BACK TO IT!! I HOPE THIS HELPED!! PEACE OUT
I found this helpful, I do know how to download mods, its just it keeps crashing every time I get into a world. :/ "either of these 3 things. 1-Wrong version 2-Missing Required Mod 3-Mods not compatible" There the right versions, there is no missing mods, and the mods are compatible. :/ But here's the funny thing a week ago this worked fine, I could go on maps, I could run mods, but now it does not work. :/
Here's what it says:

Will someone help me?!?!
There is no mods folder. i made a mods folder and put the .jar files in but forge detects no mods when i run minecraft
Have you selected the Forge profile in the launcher (The one that uses version "forge<version number>") ?
yes. By now i managed to get minecolonies working but TMI and timber aren't working.
I don't know about the timber mod but I know one that does basically the same: For timber you could use the treecapitator mod. It requires bspkrscore.
If you used this TMI the page says:
"TMI doesn't show up": Press the "o" key in your inventory screen to turn TMI on and off.
thats not the problem. TMI doesnt show up in forge and is not loaded in the game. tree capitator didnt work either.
Im done with mods anyways.
.... i need to know how the **** i must put on a mod for Forge... i need help ;n;
Dude i cant find a profile that says forge i downloaded forge for 1.8.9 but it only says the one for 1.8.0 that i downloaded a long time ago please tell me what i did wrong
