How to install Forge Minecraft 1.6.1
How to install Minecraft Forge in Minecraft. As Mojang released Minecraft with new and advanced launcher, everyone is excited to try out the new version and of course install their favorite mods. But, before doing so, you need to install the dependencies (API’s) like Minecraft Forge or ModLoader first. Since the new launcher came up with a profile system, installing new mods is a troublesome process and many are stuck. So, here’s a little guide to install Forge to make your life easier.

How to install Minecraft Forge (by ezekielelin):

In this tutorial I’m going to refer to the minecraft folder (.minecraft,Application Support/minecraft, etc.) as [minecraft]. For example, the saves folder is located at [minecraft]/saves.

Open [minecraft]/versions.
Duplicate
Rename to Forge-
Open Forge-
Rename .jar to Forge-.jar
Rename .json to Forge-.json
Delete Forge-.json and download this file: http://cl.ly/Q0YR. You will need to open the zip, then put it in [minecraft]/versions/Forge-/
You should now have a folder looking like this:

1.6.1 forge

Open [minecraft]/libraries
Make a folder called cpw and open it
Make a folder called mods and open it
Make a folder called fml and open it
Make a folder called 5.2.29 and open it
Download the latest 1.6.2 Forge and rename it to fml-5.2.29.jar
Put it in [minecraft]/libraries/cpw/mods/fml/5.2.29
Open the Minecraft launcher
Make a new profile, set it to release Forge-1.6.1 as the version.
Play.

You’ll have to follow the above procedure to install Forge in Minecraft or unless Lexmons/Forge team comes up a installer application. If you’re still having any trouble, post a comment below.

  It did that for me the first time, but I did everything again, and made sure it was actually the version of forge and not the installer for forge I put in the fml folder. And I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

      All – you need to extract
      minecraftforge-universal-1.6.1-8.9.0.771.jar
      from
      minecraftforge-installer-1.6.1-8.9.0.771.jar
      (or whatever may be current) – then rename
      it to fml-5.2.29.jar and place it in
      [minecraft]/libraries/cpw/mods/fml/5.2.29
      
      The other thing that may not be clear (and not pictured)
      is the directory structure:
      
      [minecraft]/libraries/cpw/mods/fml/5.2.29
      
      cpw, mods, fml and 5.2.29 are NOT sub folders of [minecraft]/libraries

        what do you mean about them not being subfolders, i don’t understand.
        can you show us how it supposed to go?
Dave July 02, 2013

Rename 1.6.1.json to Forge-1.6.1.json

Delete Forge-1.6.1.json and download this file: http://cl.ly/Q0YR. You will need to open the zip, then put it in [minecraft]/versions/Forge-1.6.1/

why Rename somthing and then delete it ?

I have a mac and I followed your steps perfectly two times. When I open my luncher and try to make a new profile, the forge option does not show up.

Yhea umm, I know alot of people are complaining about this… but I think I show the console as well. I followed each step carefully (even back tracked multiples times.) And I still found the launcher would refuse to accept the jar/files.

Thanks for the try anyway! (im going to see what I could do different and report here.)

Console:

  Ok it seems like most people in the comments (me included) are having the same problem. That is that when you open Minecraft and go to the launcher then switch to the profile for Minecraft Forge and click play the launcher starts up the when you get to the end of it you get this message. “Finished with 1 (or 2) failure (s)! So if anyone has a solution to THAT problem please post it it would help a TON of people.

Works!!!!! Just do exactly like he said. (without this retarded thing of renaming a file and then deleting it. just download his .zip). It will give you the common error that everybody gets if you don’t rename the .jar.

Never mind. I got it to work. Do everything that he says except for the renaming of the modloader zip and don’t download his JSON file. Just open the existing JSON file and rename the text to what you called your files where it says “1.6.1”.

To get the actual FML jar, run the installer, select Extract, pick the location, and click OK. Then move it to the 5.2.29 folder and rename it per the instructions.

Hi guys. You don’t have to do what he tells you. Go back to the forge he made you download. Once you find it, open it. It should open and ask you to install client and whatever. What you want is client. Then, press install. Once it says successfully “bla bla bla” open the launcher. then press new profile. make the version forge 1.8.etc. then login and play. IT WORKS!!!!

damn Bros… its easier if you
-download correct forge with (“installer”) from http://files.minecraftforge.net/
-open minecraftforge-installer-1.6.X-X.XX.X.XXX.jar (you may need to wait 1min)
-then click ” Install client “. it’ll install automaticly
-open the game check the profil rewrite your name and its must be okay
