Questions About How To Install Minecraft Mods On Windows

Having trouble installing mods to minecraft?

I was playing minecraft on my windows XP computer, when i decided to try out some mods. I searched up instructions on how to install mods when i realized that I didn't have any of the extra files. all I had was a single file called "minecraft" and i couldn't do anything with it but play the game. When i first installed the game, it just downloaded onto my computer in a couple of seconds without any other screen or the option to save. Is the problem that when i installed the game, i didn't WINRAR because I still don't and can't find any way to add mods or texture packs.

admin answers:

Mods are installed in .minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar. Use 7zip to open the .jar drag the files into minecraft.jar and delete metainf. Some mods require other things such as the flying mod requires a folder be placed where bin is.

Minecraft problem? help please?

well i installed minecraft on ubunto cause for some bizarre reason it just wouldnt work on windows,

so i tried to play multi player but it just ends up crashing, then on single player it was fine so i thought id download a few mods to make it more fun and it was great but then i downloaded Humans plus
and my frame rate was terrible and it crashed after an hour or so...
so i read up online on how to remove the mod and it says "delete bin, then force update and bin will come back, and it will work" yeah well i did and i forced update but still no bin so i manually got the bin back with mods and all but when i log in, under play offline it says not downloaded,
and i dont know what to do should i just uninstall? if so how lol ive never had to uninstall minecraft before.

admin answers:

You can go to My Computer and search in the box %appdata% and then you will see a file called .Minecraft you can delete that file and then re-download minecraft also you should back up your worlds if your going to do that
