The Mod Won't Open! What do I do?

Posted July 23, 20178 yr

Now that I fixed the last problem there is another. I have never done a mod before, so I don't know how to install and make it work and stuff. I am on MacBook Pro by the way. What do I do after I download the mod and forge? I tried opening the mod on Safari and on Chrome. On Safari it says:

"(numbers and letters).jar" can't be opened because Safari is not allowed open Java JAR files.

Maddie > Downloads > (The Mod).jar

When I do it on Google Chrome I Open it and it says:

The Java JAR file "(numbers and letters).jar" could not be launched.

Check the Console for possible error messages.

There will be Images for these too.

What do I do?

Please Help.

If you know the whole process, might as well just tell me.

Don't open the JAR files, copy them to the mods directory in the Minecraft game directory.

Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.

You can open the Minecraft game directory by selecting your profile in the "Launch options" tab of the launcher and then clicking the "Go to folder" button next to the "Game directory" option.

What? I'm not that good with computers and I don't know what this means.
