Hellooooooo,
So I just got the latest version of forge, V: 1.8 Forge 11.14.1.1338, today.
Installed the mods correctly, I hope, by dragging and dropping them into the mod folder.
I run minecraft and realize that only the 3 base mods that come with forge are loaded and active, none of the 16 other mods I have show up at all, even when I click "mods" in the client they don't show.
I was wandering why not? I just downloaded all the mods yesterday, and installed them today when I got forge.
As a point of note, I do not know how to read logs, or even what they mean. So if there is an error... I have no idea how to fix it unless it comes with a handy "heres step by step fix" along with it. So if you see any errors, please point them out along with a solution on how to fix said error. =3
Oh.... this is also my first time modding ANYTHING, so I have no idea what I am doing and just followed the steps in a youtube video on how to get and isntall forge, then how to install mods by dragging them into the mods folder.
Here is what I think is the correct log, it was the newest log, also funnily... it says nothing about the mods I have in my mods folder from what I can tell...
