So I seriously just got MC a couple days ago and vanilla works just fine. Texture packs work perfectly, no problems whatsoever. HOWEVER... Forge is a different story! Had problems installing it but now it works. Supposedly? It shows up in the launcher and in-game but no mods are shown except the stock ones it comes with. I'm on version 1.12 for Forge and MC, and the mods used are updated the same, but they still won't show up? They are in the mods folder, all .zip files, all updated for 1.12. And java is also the latest update. I've watched 8 million tutorials it seems like and still nothing. I'm on Mac. At this point anything would help but I've pretty much heard it all so... thanks in advance :]
i can ask my friend if he can help he has a mac and he got his mod working..i can chat to him soon and type the information so i can help but if he doesn't remember then am sorry
Mods need to be .jar files, unless the mod author specifically makes it a .zip file. My guess is when you downloaded the files, your OS turned them from executable .jar files into safer .zip files.
My suggestion would be to install the latest version of Java and make sure all Java files are associated with Java (like .jar files).

Here's the problem:
