So i wanted to edit a mod file and i did. let me walk you through everything i did.
1. Downloaded the mod
2. us a decompile for java
3. Extracted the zipped decompiled folder
4. made copies of a custom recipe file and edited to make my own custom recipe
5. Saved it
6. made it a zip file
7. renamed it so it was a .jar file
Then it had the same look as all the other mods, the icon was a coffee looking thing.
when i loaded up forge because the mod was originally a forge mod it says its not a valid mod.
Now keep in mind that originally the mod worked and all i did was add a extra piece and then remake it into a .jar.
before when it wasn't a .jar and it was the extracted it just crashed my Minecraft. The new .jar looked let me load up forge Minecraft but just now says its not a valid mod file. please help.
