i try to follow tutorials on how to install mods via mcpatcher on youtube , now i want to install mod that requires forge and i can't even install the forge.

that's all

thanks before! 

MCPatcher and Forge are not compatible. If you don't want to do it manually, try MultiMC or Magic Launcher. Direwolf20 made a video spotlight of MultiMC 4.0, so give that a watch on how to work it. It's pretty simple.

 

Again, MCPatcher is not compatible with Forge at all. Also, if you previously used MCPatcher to install HD textures, you'll have to use Optifine instead. (I personally like Optifine better, and it works fine alongside forge)

 

wow i didn't even know that its incompatible .. thanks Zero! i'll use MultiMC and optifine! instead 

No problem.

To be more specific, the MCPatcher's "HD Textures" mod and Forge are not compatible.

 

If you disable that mod in MCPatcher, everything works perfectly. Also, I use HD textures without using OptiFine at all.

Either way, it's not recommended to use MCPatcher with Forge. See this post for  one reason why.

Ah, guess i'm just lucky that it works for me. Nevermind, then.

I think the main reason most people use MCPatcher is due to its UFI (User Friendly Interface) and its connected textures / as well as the fact it loads most mods (that don't require extensive modifications like tons of additional weapons that do nothing special and look quite silly / new items that also are useless) and rarely crashes. It tests for problems, gives you an exact readout on the problems, and is generally more texture improving based.

 

Optifine is about making Minecraft run faster, not really helping it look nicer. Plus its more jumbled to use Opt/Forge instead of just MCPatcher - no idea why the owner of Forge can't just give the fans something so simple. Its not hurting anyone except his damn pride which he's displayed in multiple threads (I've seen the guy cuss people out for being polite, its unprofessional and rude).

Optifine also installed very easily in MultiMC, and MultiMC will also even set up forge for you just by clicking the MCForge button.

Its not my problem that MCPatcher does things wrong and does things it shouldn't be doing. And its not my fault that Forge and MCPatcher are incompatible.

It's MCPatchers fault.

 

Get your facts straight before you act like a dick.
