HI I would really need some help you see I downloaded a minecraft forge on my minecraft for 1.8 and I wanted to download golem world mod and damage indicator mod and when I put them in the mod folder, I closed .minecraft and I clicked on the launcher whenever it launched the forge and I clicked the Mods tab on the screen and they don't show up I would be really nice if someone would help me with this. this happens with many mods
There are no forge mods yet for 1.8 so loading this forge is pointless at this time for you as an end user.
Figure out what latest versions are for the mods you want to play, and then decide what game version you can load in order to play them.
