I'm trying to install Rei's Minimap as well as Biomes-o-Plenty in my minecraft folder and seem to have run into a snag. I've installed Forge (version 10.12.0.968 for Minecraft 1.7.2 to be exact) and after reading a bunch of tutorials and watching videos, I've realized you're supposed to drop Rei's Minimap (as well as Biomes-o-Plenty) inside your %appdata%/.minecraft/mods folder - which I've done, but for some reason, when I load up Minecraft, it's not reading the two mods!
I know that Rei's Minimap latest version is 1.6.2 and Biomes-o-Plenty is set up for 1.6.x (any version of 1.6) but does that mean I should be using 1.6.2/1.6.4 Forge to install these mods?
You need to match the version of your mods to the version of your Minecraft. So if you are using Minecraft 1.7 you need Rei's minimap, Biomes-O-Plenty and Forge for 1.7 (which proabably aren't released yet)
If you are using Minecraft 1.6.4 you should use Forge for 1.6.4
Ok I fixed Rei's Minimap, but I'm now having trouble getting Biome's-o-Plenty to work - it's not recognizing the .jar file that I downloaded. Should I be using the universal, api or deobf file?
