Rookie help! Magiclauncher support?

[KingDingbat]

Hey there,

 

Usually my husband helps me with the mods, but we're not speaking at the moment so I am on my own

 

I use a mod (ZansMinimap) that requires Modloader, which we add into MagicLauncher, but since Modloader has not been updated to 1.6.4, I have heard that I can use Forge instead? I'm not quite sure...

 

However, I was wondering which version of Forge I have to download to use in Magiclauncher? Universal? Source? Javadoc? I did try the Universal .jar and it seemed to be successful in Magiclauncher, but ZansMinimap did not load (even though it says "OK!" in Magiclauncher after I add Forge.)

 

The only other mod I have installed right now is OptiFine, but I've tried without that installed to and get the same thing.

 

What is the newb missing?

Don't use MagicLauncher, just use the normal MC launcher and Forge's Installer.
