I am new to the modding community and have been using Technic packs for a few months. The packs are not updated and there are certain mods I would like to be playing the updated versions of.
So I decided to just try installing mods myself with the original Minecraft as opposed to using Technic.
It went well at first but then I kept getting black screens and not knowing what to do, I've been deleting the whole .minecraft file and redoing it over and over again in attempts at finding what I'm doing wrong. Most of the mods are 1.5.1 and while some of them work, others don't. I tried finding the 1.5.1 minecraft,jar, thinking perhaps the mods weren't compatible with 1.5.2, but that isn't working for me either.
I'm incredibly frustrated and I've already spent about 4 or 5 hours trying to figure this out. I just want to play with these mods.
Is there a way to manually update the packs in Technic? That may be easier, but I'm not sure how.
Either way, this is a list of what I've been trying to install(most of which are just mods pulled from a list I found online that are included in the Technic pack I have been playing):
ArmorStatusHUD
DirectionHUD
FloatingRuins
StatusEffectHUD
BattleTowers
BetterDungeons
CustomMobSpawner and Mo'Creatures
Millenaire(which seems to be the only one that works)
KeepInventory
MoreXP
InventoryTweaks
TreeCapitator
EnchantingPlus
I have also downloaded GuiAPI, as stated needed for Mo'Creatures.
I followed all of the instructions, and I've even started up the game after each "install" to make sure it is being added to the list or to see if the loading screen goes black.
I apologize in advance if my mistakes are blatantly obvious, but I'm very new to manually installing and running mods - previously having relied on just the Technic launcher to do it all for me.
I also would appreciate ANY help or advice, or if someone was even able to install it all for me and send me the folder(if that's even possible!).
Alternatively, grab the old 1.5.1 JAR from http://assets.minecraft.net/1_5_1/minecraft.jar and replace your 1.5.2 one in (assuming you're using Windows) %appdata%\.minecraft\bin. Make sure you use the 1.5.1 version of Forge and 1.5.1 versions of all the mods you are trying to install should you do this.
