Greetings. Wondering if I might be able to get some assistance from the community? I've setup Minecraft for my son. It appears to be version 1.10.2. The forge version is the same. After downloading Mods of the same version and then placing them into the Mod folder, starting forge the Mods do not appear...The mod folder isn't shown, either. I've tried various things I've seen online, but cannot find a solution. I have no experience with Minecraft so I'm sort of lost...Wondering if you guys might be able to lend some of your expertise to help me out? What can I provide to get the ball rolling? Many thanks!!
