When i first installed forge everything was working but i forgot to put my mods in the mod folder before launching the game and all that was in the mod section was the 2 or 3 things that i was guessing naturaly went in the mod section so when i realized i forgot to put my mods in i relaunched minecraft so they would work but when it launched and i went back to the mods section there was absolutely nothing in it and i tried relaunching the game multiple times and still there is nothing there not even the base stuff i saw before. Please help me fix this i would appreciate it and would love to try out mods for the first time
