To start off with (and this may be 90% of my problem), I'm looking to mod 1.8.x since it has custom world generation, and that in itself makes my pack idea a lot easier to pull off. I realize that a lot of mods haven't been updated to 1.8.x, but if I drop back to 1.7.10, I'm going to have to figure out a completely different set of problems.
I've downloaded the Forge installer that is supposed to work with 1.8.8. Installed it, Minecraft starts up fine, loads my world and everything. Primo. Now, I start trying to add mods. I'm checking beforehand to make sure that the mod supports 1.8.8, but when I put it in the mods folder one of three things happens:

- I get a crash log:
I tried both the 1.8-1.0.5.104-universal.jar and the 1.7.10-1.0.5.120-universal.jar, thinking that perhaps the more recent upload might solve the problem.2016-07-29 20:45:17,773 WARN Unable to instantiate org.fusesource.jansi.WindowsAnsiOutputStream
