So I've seen a lot of posts, especially about installing mods, on different sites mentioning the bin folder and plugins folder in %Appdata%\Roaming\.minecraft, but when I downloaded it, I got the minecraft.exe file and in the .minecraft folder there are no bin or plugins folders, so I can't follow mod install directions. I know this is a umodded Minecraft support forum, and that's because I can't mod it. I've tried using MCPatcher (at someone's suggestion) but it didn't help, so I cleared it. I want to install HorseModifier and HorseManager, which both are .jar files when downloaded. The HorseModifier page gives no install instructions and HorseManager page says to put the file in the plugins directory, which, as previously stated, I can't find. I've tried redownloading the Minecraft 1.6.2 launcher and making folders called bin and plugins manually, but nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Where did the bin folder go?
Since the update, the folder structure for Minecraft have changed drastically. As the launcher is capable of handling multiple versions, all the "minecraft.jar" files are now named according to their game versions and are located under the "versions" folder. There is no longer a "bin" folder.

To install mods for the new launcher,

The plugin folder does not exist in vanilla minecraft. It is only enabled through installation of certain other mods.
