I have spent probably a total of 7 hours so far trying to figure out how to install the Jurassic / Archeology mod. My son is 10 and he just bought Minecraft and he desperately wants the dinosaurs installed on it. I have searched the internet trying to figure out how to install the mods, I have downloaded numerous things (video downloads, Forge, I think the Jurassic zip file, 7zip). I have followed the instructions that I have seen when I google "How to Install Mods for Dummies" I thought I did it all correctly, but it didn't work. Can someone PLEASE help me I am at my whits end? I am particularly having difficulty trying to find the actual download of the mod.
They have instructions on how to install it in the first post.
I'll just give you the basics...
Download Forge (latest ver. I'd say) and install it
- Go to "Start" type in %appdata% and click on roaming
- there should be a folder called .minecraft> go to bin> open minecraft.jar with 7zip > and delete META_INF
- Now use 7zip to extract files from the Forge folder you downloaded > then copy and paste the files you extracted into the minecraft.jar > after you've done that run minecraft once then exit it.
Now download the Fossils and Archeology Revival mod
- now in your .minecraft there should be a "mods" folder created by forge after you launch minecraft once with it installed > copy the mod you downloaded into that folder.
