Minecraft PC - Is It Worth It? / Traincraft Mod Screenshots

'Which program do you want to open this in'.

None, all you have to do is to place it in the mods folder.

@Doomotron If you prefer to use a gamepad, you can use your DS3 with your PC by downloading and installing XInput Wrapper.

 

[Doomotron]

None, all you have to do is to place it in the mods folder.

But when I click on the download on the bar at the bottom, it has an Internet Explorer icon and doesn't open. When I right-click, no 'Open with' button appears.

Also, when I look, there is no mod folder.
Here is my list of folders:

• assets
• libraries
• recourcepacks
• saves
• server recourse packs
• stats
• versions

No mod folder in sight. Do I need to create it?

It is a minecraft mod loader, which often uses a older version of minecraft. But it comes preloaded with tons of mods of all types. It is an easy way of playing modded minecraft on PC, without the hassle of having to add the mods yourself. FTB is also heavily tested for compatibility.

Doesn't include Traincraft, I don't care.

Open it with WinZip or Winrar, then extract it. It appears as jar for some reason.

Also, while you copy, install ModLoader for Minecraft first. Search on Google.

Rest of the steps are here:

Here are the steps I took:

No WinZip on here!

So I searched another app. Here's Winzip:

Wait, what? What are these?

So I looked on the WinZip button. What do these do? Why can't I just download it and be happy? Why does the internet hate me?

Most of what everyone has said here has either:

• Not made any sense
• Isn't there
• Doesn't apply to me
• Is completely off-topic

Can anyone give simple, clear instructions which make sense and apply to me?

If you have that little experience using Windows, you shouldn't be messing with mods in the first place. Especially if you're going to get nasty with people when they do try to help.

@Doomotron

Youtube is your friend, so is google.



That is an older video, but it still shows what you need to do with that .Jar file.

 

[Doomotron]

What do I open it with. It just shows Internet Explorer and doesn't work.

 

[Ialyrn]

Copy and paste into the mods folder, just like is shown in the video I have embedded in my last post.

But on the download bar, it opens as internet explorer, and immediately goes to a download list. The only option is to copy the download link, and when I do that, it goes in to IE again. All I am asking is which program do I open it with? That's all I want. Nothing more. Nothing less.

 

[Ialyrn]

Ignore what that says, just right click on the .jar file that you downloaded, select "copy", so to the mods folder in the minecraft folder, right click and select paste. That should be it, assuming you have the correct version of minecraft, the correct version of the mod, and any mod loaders/injectors you may need; such as Forge (is that even still used).

Seriously, just use feed the beast. It may not have train craft in it, but it does have railcraft. It doesn't offer as much content, but will save you a headache.

 

[Doomotron]

It worked! Yes!

There's only one song to celebrate: The Chain Gang Of 1974 - Sleepwalking

Huh?
I told you the exact same thing as the video showed.

I didn't think you wouldn't know how to move a downloaded file into a different folder and I thought it's clear that a folder called "mods" has to be in the Minecraft directory.

Well, at least you got it working now.

I am trying to start Minecraft with Flan's Mod version 4.1.1 for 1.6.4, but it always crashes the game. Any help?

EDIT
Even after deleting it, it crashes for Traincraft. I need help.

 

[DQuaN]

Were these modpacks or jar files?

 

[Doomotron]

.jar files.

 

[DQuaN]

If you ran them to apply the update, you have modified your core Minecraft files. Best thing to do is create a new profile in the Minecraft launcher and that will install a fresh version of the minecraft jar.

Would downloading another version of Flan's Mod for 1.6.4 work?

 

[DQuaN]

If the original Minecraft.jar has been modified then I would say no. Start with a fresh Minecraft.jar and apply the Flan's mod to that.

Is there a plane mod for 1.6.4? I just want the planes, not the guns.

 

[DQuaN]

Probably. I don't know any off the top of my head though.

 

[Doomotron]

Guys, would you like some screenshots of what I've got to in Traincraft?

Can we assume that you have the correct version of Forge installed?

 

[Doomotron]

I've got the last version for 1.6.4 installed.

EDIT
For the no people who wanted screenshots, I've got some but I can't double post, so can somebody reply so I don't get a warning point?

 

[DQuaN]

You could always edit your post.

 

[Doomotron]

You could always edit your post.

Yes, but I cannot upload files when editing.

Anyway, here is what I've got up to in Traincraft:

My first station - Snowton Beach:

The station building:

My second station - Snowton Bridge: (Looking out onto the actual Snowton Bridge)

An aerial view of the current network and it's two stations:

Where Welesley-Snowton Airport will be:

Wait, these aren't trains!

I'll get more photos uploaded soon!

EDIT
Should I make a seperate thread for the pictures?

 

[dr_slump]

Should I make a seperate thread for the pictures?

No, the mods would probably merge it with this thread anyway: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/minecraft-news-and-discussion.280697/page-453

You can posts such things there.
