Okay so recently i started using forge for minecraft and and i have installed 3 mods that use forge already and they are working great. I just put them in mods folder and whats done is done, but the problem I'm having is that mods that don't require forge aren't working at all. I put them in my mods folder and run minecraft, and after all that, none of them are working. im trying to install: x-ray, better sprint, and show durability, but they aren't working for me. I don't know if its a simple fix or what cause I'm brand spanking new to forge so go easy on me please :3

You'll have to look at the indavidual install instructions for those mods.

However, just guessing but those sound like jar mods.

And we don't support jar mods.
