Im new to minecraft modding, so forgive my noobness. 

I decided to test out my forge by getting what i think is a small mod, Useful_Backpacks, and did as it directed.

1. download the mod,

2. go to Run, go into %appdata%\.minecraft\

3, put the .zip file of the mod into the "mods" folder.

4. done.

but, after it, nothing but the default mods are showing up in the "Mods" Tab

Did i miss something? plz remember that im new to this, please try to put 300 IQ explanations in as simple words as possible.

Pretty sure the mod needs to be a .jar file. Try extracting the zip in the mods folder?

Modders don’t usually zip their .jar mod files in a zip. I’m suspecting that OP downloaded an outdated mod or downloaded from a repost site.

 

@asdfghjkl; Mods do not come in zip files nowadays. Please make sure you only download your mods from CurseForge or the official site of that mod.

Some tips:

Modder Support:

1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code.

2. Always post your code.

3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that.

4.

Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere

5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger.

The "picture that's worth 1000 words" only works if there's an obvious problem or a freehand red circle around it.

Support & Bug Reports:

Spoiler

1. Read the EAQ before asking for help. Remember to provide the appropriate log(s).

2. Versions below 1.11 are no longer supported due to their age. Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.
