Hi all,

 

Sorry if it sounds silly, still not quite familiar with the bounds of Forge, but I was wondering if you would be able to install a mod which doesn't need Forge into a Minecraft (or tekkit) already configured with Forge. Can you just place it in the mods folder and fulfil any other necessary requirements? Or does it not work like that?

 

Thanks

It kind of depends on which mod, and what you mean by "does it not work like that". Basically, mods built with ModLoader should work that way, since Forge has FML. However, mods which edit base classes or for some other reason require that they are installed in the Jar usually won't work by just dropping them in the mods folder. We've come a long way, but it seems like there are still a handful of mods that still go back to those archaic roots :D
