Forged 1.7.2 not reconizing mods added to mod folder

[ExcalaberReaper]

I have successfully loaded mine craft forge, ran it and it let me know I had 3 mods running.

However any other mod  i add to the mod folder is not recognized, at all.

Am I doing something wrong , or is there a problem with the 1.7.2 forge version?

I am using 1.7.2 mods !!!!!

If you're using 1.6.4 mods on 1.7.2 you fail.

The mods I download come from planet mine craft and are 1.7.2 mods.

Hmm... could you name the mods you're trying to get to work?

In fact- never mind. There's only one Forge-compatible mod out ATM on Planet Minecraft that I can see- all other mods are actually Bukkit plugins. Unfortunately, due to several reasons,  Forge and Bukkit mods don't play nice without a special environment, such as ForgeEssentials(?) and BukkitForge.

 

As far as I know, neither of these have taken the leap to 1.7.2. Yet.

 

Long story short- use Forge mods with Forge, and Bukkit with Bukkit mods. At least for now.

Careful.  Some external sites like to advertise a given mod as being for a version of Minecraft it actually isn't rated for.

 

I found Mystcraft for 1.6.4 once (already aware that it hadn't been updated, as I stalk the dev on his forums) and the download link supplied the 1.5 version.

minecraft-mods.org, minecraftdl.com and planetminecraft.com

 

All three of these sites tend to say the mod is for X version of minecraft when it really isn't. I recommend not downloading any mods from these three sites and instead finding the actual site that posts the mod you wish to download.

Flat rule: NEVER download mods from anywhere that's not the official mod thread or webpage.

When you actually have LEGIT mods from the LEGIT sources, and still run into errors, make another thread.
