Minecraft 1.6.2 - How To Install Mods [Mac/PC]

FAQ:

Q: The title says x.x.x not 1.1.0!

A: Yes, calm down, that's true. These two tutorials were made with earlier versions of Minecraft, but the installation process is exactly the same, so there would be no point in making a new video for every new patch.

Q: I got black screen/crash/the mod(s) didn't work for me

A: Try "cleaning your minecraft.jar" before modding by going to your Minecraft launcher > "Options" > "Force update" > "Done" > login.

    Also make sure the mod(s) and MCPatcher* are up to date (with the version of Minecraft you are using). Some mods have "unique" installations, so be sure to always read the "Installation" part on every mod's official Minecraft Forums page.

Q: I downloaded the mods, but didn't get any .zip files

A: It is common for OS' and browsers to have a "decompress on download" feature, but most of them ask you on download wether you want it to perform this action - when you download, be sure to choose "Save".

    If it's too late and you've already decompressed the file (with no .zip/.rar files left), you can always re-compress them with 7-zip (Windows) or Unarchiver (Mac). <- compress the files INSIDE the folder.

Q: Why didn't Optifine didn't work?
A: Optifine has some features in common with MCPatcher, so if you want to install Optifine, be sure to "uncheck" the following in MCPatcher: HD Textures, HD Fonts, and Better Grass.

Q: Can I install x (paste mod name here) with this?

A: Yes, indeed you can! Just remember that some mods have unique installation processes, such as placing some files in the minecraft (folder) > mods folder. Some mods also depend on one or several others. <- always read the "Installation" part of the mod's official thread.


More info:
- Some mods are incompatible with each other, which means that when installed together, they might crash your minecraft/corrupt your saves. Mods such as Modloader, Forge and Vault enhance the compatibility between mods (some mods even require one or more of these, but this is explained on the mods' official Minecraft Forums thread page).

Minecraft First Day/Night Survival Guide

This guide was intended for the 1.8.1 BETA release version of Minecraft, but supports all older, and possibly even newer versions of the game, including Minecraft 1.0.0 (Full Release)
This guide will tell you (one way) how to survive your first day/night in Minecraft, what items to create (and how) and how/where to build a shelter for your first night.

"This guide requires the minimal knowledge over video games, including the usual controls: WASD for moving, SPACE for jumping, etc... If you wish to learn more about Minecraft's controls, please go read this page on Minecraft Wiki."

--> Remember that you can (and should) play the game in the way YOU want to and feel comfortable with. <--

Let's begin with the actual guide, shall we?

After your world fully loads, take a quick look around yourself and try to get an overview of your surroundings. All information is useful, but focus on mountains above all, as that is where we are going to make our first shelter in order to survive the first night.
