I seem to have the worst luck with mods! I tried years ago on my old laptop to download mods and it didn't work. I figured it was just because my laptop wasn't powerful enough to run them, so I just gave up. I just got a new MacBook Pro so I decided to give it another try. Once again, no luck. I have tried everything. I swear I've watched every video. When I watch the tutorial videos I swear I follow it to a tee. The first thing I tried was using forge. I downloaded the latest version of forge for the Mac, I downloaded the latest version of Java, and I installed all of it. Forge seems to be working fine, but when I tried installing Pixelmon my server crashes every time. So I tried a more simple mod, 'Not Enough Items". When I put it in the mods folder it doesn't even show up in the mods tab when I load the game. So then I tried to download mods through Twitch. It seems to work fine until when I press play. Then it runs the mod with an old version of the Minecraft launcher. I tried changing the 'jar launcher' in the settings to 'native launcher' but it's grayed out. I don't know what to do at this point, and will try anything.

The twitch launcher sucks, you want the legacy mac FTB launcher, much better: http://ftb.cursecdn.com/FTB2/launcher/FTB_Launcher.zip
