Can someone please help me locate the CORRECT download location for version 1.7.4?
About a month ago, I purchased minecraft for my 9 yr old son who has become an everyday user. He goes on youtube and watches people for hours and then uses what he sees to engage and encapsulate himself into this wonderful software.
(right now we're running minecraft 1.7.4 on a PC with Windows 7 with all the current service packs)
He now has a tremendous/relentless desire to get the "toontown" pack or mod which I was able to download (after dozens of tries and having to remove bloatware galore.)
The trouble is, when I seem to find the correct link for the latest version or installer for "minecraft forge," after I click run under "client" section, I get an error message that says: "You need to run the version 1.7.2 manually at least once" There's an "OK" button that does nothing except make me start over.
The toontown mod info and videos I watched said that we would need to download "forge" and run that profile to use that modification. Is this correct?
Am i downloading the correct "forge" ?
I'm running 1.7.4 but there is no "1.7.4 forge" on the files.minecraftforge.net website, so I first chose the 1.6.2 and the same thing happened, then I went back
and chose the 1.7.2 (which had a date as recent as 2/7/14) so I chose it and I get the same error message.
Can someone tell us what to do?
Is there a way to run the minecraft program manually? I tried opening the .minecraft folder (by using the %appdata% search) to expose the subfolders and
I clicked and right clicked on the various "launcher" icons but nothing happens.
I have used every bit of computer literacy I have for several hours today before troubling you good people with this dilemma. I have an unhappy child that is dying for spongebob and the rest of the toontown characters, so I just joined this forum to reach out for some help.
Sorry for the trouble, but can somebody advise me on what to do?
If I am in the wrong place for this, then I apologize...
The problem is forge is for 1.7.2 and you have only played (downloaded) minecraft 1.7.4. You need to launch minecraft 1.7.2 at least once and then install minecraft forge. If you are unsure how to do this then follow the steps in the spoiler:
Step 1: Create a new profile.
Step 2 & 3: Choose Minecraft 1.7.2 as the version.
Step 4: Save the profile.
Step 5: Select the new profile, press "Play!", and let the game launch. Once the game launches then exit out and install forge.
