Minecraft Forums

I followed the instructions found here on how to install Forge,which I followed and successfully installed Forge and then I followed the instructions found here on how to install mods with forged, when I put the mod .jar files in the mods folder within the Minecraft directory, run Minecraft, click on the Forge profile, let it load, click on the mods button, but the mods I want to install aren't listed, help!

Any mod made for MC 1.8

In my opinion, Forge is very unstable for 1.8. However, I came here to help solve your problem.

Firstly, are the mods stated to have updated to 1.8? I have to confirm that this is a Forge problem

Some mods do not show up there. and as sev40 said, Confirm that all the mods are for 1.8. i recommend using forge 1.7.10 or 1.6.4 (1.7.2 is too buggy) because those are very stable and most of the mods are there for 1.7.10 and 1.6.4

Also, did you download the mods at the same site? The website you used for the tutorials is listed under the giant list of sites that have stolen minecraft mods. If you don't already, always get your mods from the Forum (or in some cases the authors personal website / if the mod can't be found on the forum).

Planet Minecraft is also a very reliable site to download mods.

I got the mods to show up, not sure what the problem was and thanks sev40!
