so ya im probably the biggest noob ever but how do i install the mods after i have the file downloaded to access the server
Unzip 'alice-1.0-public-12w3b.zip' and then rename 'alice-1.0-public-12w3b.jar' to 'minecraft.jar'. Then put it in your minecraft bin folder, replacing the old minecraft.jar. Also, the minecraft has to be 1.0. If you have any questions i'd be happy to help.
FYI, you can get the SKCraft launcher (in the downloads section on the forums) to switch between jars. Just don't rename the Alice jar and be sure to select it when you want to play on Alice. (this lets you play on James and Vincent when you want)
Fair enough, although the launcher is 100% secure. If you wish, you can decompile the launcher or I can send you a copy of the source.
Ah, might as well. The server has a good admin, and i believe he made the SKCraft launcher, so i might as well.
Personally, there's a couple launchers that i use [but i won't disclose them through this thread]. While launchers do make it a lot easier, i highly suggest trying to install forge on your own. it's not TOO hard, i mean, a lil bit of trial and error of course, and i understand u may get frustrated, but learning how to install the mods manually does somewhat help.
