Minecraft Forums

So, I downloaded Orespawn, and I tried to get Minecraft working, but when I click "Play", the screen just refreshes back to the news letter section. You know, the one before you go into Minecraft? Please help, I'm confused.

How did you install it? Is it the correct mod version for the correct Minecraft version? Are there any conflicts with other mods? Any crash logs would help, if any.

Well, a crash log didn't come up. I have the type of Forge needed to download Orespawn, and it said to take the zip files and put them in my mods folder. I didn't quite understand that part, but I took the files from Orespawn, turned them into zipped files, and put them in the mods folder...did I do something wrong?

Remove the mod and try running Minecraft again, if it runs then there is something wrong with the orespawn mod.

I checked with the orespawn site and it only requires you to move the zip file you downloaded into the mods folder, try that and see. There should be only 1 zip file.

No, there's two. One is one named "assets", and the other is "danger". And a READ ME post it note.

Oh, those are the files inside of the zip you downloaded, those don't need to be zipped into their own zip files. Download the mod as a file, don't open it on download. And that mod should be only 1 zip file. I think the one currently on the site is called orespawn164v18.zip. That's the file you want to move to the mods folder if the installation guide is correct.

Ohh...well, I feel like an idiot...well thank you so much, I was completely lost. If you didn't already notice, I'm kinda new to the whole mods thing. I only have two installed, Battle Gear 2 and TooManyItems

Wait, it's still not working. I tried removing some of the mods, but now it isn't even reading the mod I put in there. What is going on??

Well, I'm using the version labled as "1.6.4-Forge9.11.1.965"

How do I find that?

Here it is

You're running a 1.7.2 Minecraft Forge version apparently. If you look on the bottom right, where it tells you which version you selected. Orespawn looks like it's only for 1.6.4.

Oh wait, forgot to change it. I tried doing it again on the Forge 1.6.4, and I got a crash report. Here it is-
The last time I got a crash report, I just put in Animation API for 1.7.2 (mutant creatures mod), and it worked. Will that solve my problem here?

OK, where can I download 1.6.4 version? Or whatever the appropriate version is?

OK, got 1.6.4 installed, and I have the Orespawn mod inside the folder...but it isn't showing up, It's a zipped folder, is it supposed to be like that?

It's working now...at long last. I've literally been at this for days, I can't thank you enough. It's...finally...over...
