Need some help - mods for 1.8

[dmc1967]

I am attempting to help my son install mods for his minecraft installation.  Is the Forge installer for version 1.8 available?  How do I install mod packs for V1.8?

 

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Thank you very much.  With that said, is it possible to downgrade from 1.8 to 1.7.10, or any other earlier version?

Once again, thank you so much for your help.  One last question, where would I find out information about installing Forge for version 1.7.10?  I have looked online, but, have not found a source that seems reliable.  Is it is this forum?

 

Once again, thank you for your help!

One last question.  As someone who has clearly spent a great deal of time with Minecraft, in your opinion, where is a credible site for mods?  We have successfully installed a couple, and, one of them is a little wonky.

 

Once again, thank you for all of your help.  I can see why this is such a great community.

Minecraftforum, make sure its .net, .com and others are bad.

We host a bunch of modders here, there is also curseforge which more and more modders are switching to.

 

Basically any othere "collection" site is bad. Anything with a number in its name like 9minecraft is usually bad.

 

When it doubt hit the forums and find the original authors thread.
