Ok, the launcher downloads all of the mods. The launcher has it's own minecraft. So what you do, basically negated the reason for the launcher.i couldnt figure out how to get the launcher to install all the mods into my minecraft.jar, so i just opened all of the mod files with winzip and added them into my .minecraft... guess i need to figure out which one(s) i missed
so, if they dont go into the .minecraft.jar, how to they work? in the past, ive always had to add the mods into my .jar file
