Ive spent two days and countless hours trying to figure this out, so I'm just going to ask for help here.
I like the following types of mods in minecraft, and I dont care which I use if they do what I need, so keep that in mind.
1. a tree chopping mod ( timber/treecapitator)
2. a minimap mod with markers
3. a larger inventory
4. a way of keeping items on death without setting it in the launcher on world creation.
5. optifine
Thats about it.
I am trying to use minecraft 1.7.2 or greater for play.
The mods I have found all seem to want me to use forge, and using the latest version of forge, if I put anything in the mods folder, the game either ignores them or crashes.
Using the forge installer is relatively simple - so I can run the game with it and have it show that its loading itself, but from there on out, its pure frustration.
I can also set the profile to load up optifine ok, but again only running itself.
Any ideas of which mods might be best in this scenario or what I might be doing wrong would be helpful.
