How to get Minecraft mods to work

[jamesy505]

I am having little success getting Minecraft mods to work.

I do the usual, download ModLoader, follow the instructions and two mins later I get either a black screen or I get a flash of a error log before Minecraft closes.

The mods i've been trying to get to work are..

Animal Bikes
Portal Gun
Tornados


to name but a few. My kid watches all these cool videos on Youtube then I epically fail to get them working for him.

Any definitive instructions for these three mods to get working.

I didnt add this to the Official Minecraft server as didnt think it was the right place and would get lost in the server talk.

Any help appreciated. Think i'm running v1.25 just now.

Deleted the meta inf file?
block ID conflicts?
Cirrectly placing the .jars etc. in the correct folders etc.?

It'll be a bit tough to troubleshoot sadly, I'd recommend doing one mod at a time, testing and seeing if you still have issues.

I'm sure the Official OcUK Minescaft server thread would be your best bet. As said, make sure you are putting the mods in the correct folder, and the mods are upto date. Otherwise they will not work

if he likes the technic pack then thats a piece of cake to install, just get a clean installation of minecraft then run the launcher
(you need to have bought minecraft for it to work)

the technic pack has ~98264589723645 mods installed, so i'm sure there's something on there he'll like

Make sure the version of modloader, modloadermp, minecraft forge or any other mod support tools you have are the same version as your minecraft. The same goes for the mods too.
