BaM's Grave for Minecraft 1.7

You might find yourself saying "Gah! I've died again, lost my items and most if my XP! Now I need to find all my items before they despawn." Anyone who has played Minecraft will know the feeling of much hard work being destroyed. Fortunately, there is a mod that helps alleviate the pain associated with dying in Minecraft. This mod is BaM's Grave mod. This mod makes it so that your items and XP will be stored in a chest after you die as long as you have at least two chests in your inventory. The graves will have a sign with your name and your time of death. This will prevent your items from getting lost or despawning.

ComputerCraft for Minecraft 1.6.4

ComputerCraft is a really cool mod for Minecraft that adds programmable computers and Turtles (a type of robot) which you can build. This adds many new possibilities to automate and create things in Minecraft. It also adds modems and monitors to the game.

Quiver Bow for 1.7.2 and 1.6.4

Quiver Bow is a weapons mod that will expand the arsenal of any player with rocket launchers, harpoon guns, something similar to the half-life cross bow, etc.  It has over weapons 25.  Anyway, the mod has a lot of uses for some of the worthless items in game and is a good way to spend those resources for boss fighting uses. I recommend this mod for lovers of fps mods and games (tf2 woooo).

These blocks include  a potion shelf for up to twelve potions, a tool rack to hang four different tools/weapons, a general shelf that can display any four items, a display case for a single fancy item, and a wooden label that can display up to three items in small scale for tasks such as indicating what is in a chest. The newest edition includes the wooden Desk that can hold up to nine books.

How to install Forge Minecraft mods on Windows - The always up-to-date guide (with screenshots)

This tutorial will help you install most any mod in Minecraft. There are some mods that will require additional steps but this guide should work with pretty much any mod. This guide assumes that you already have Minecraft and Java installed on your computer.

You may want to watch our video tutorial:

Part 1 - Installing Forge Mod Loader

1. Download the most appropriate version of Minecraft Forge from here.



Note that Forge takes a while to support new updates to Minecraft sometimes. Forge currently supports Minecraft 1.8. If you are running a newer version than 1.8 or want to run a Forge mod which is not updated for the latest version of Minecraft which is supported by Forge you should read our tutorial on changing your Minecraft version.



2. Open the downloaded file and if you are asked to give it administrative privileges press "Yes". Something that looks like the screenshot below should appear.

3. Make sure that you select "Install client"


4. Press OK and wait for it to install.


5. A new profile called "Forge" will now appear in the launcher. Select that profile and launch it.


6. Minecraft should launch up looking like the screenshot below. Note that yours will look different as you won't have any mods except Forge installed.

 

Part 2 - Installing the Mods

Now that you have Forge installed you can start installing mods in Minecraft.

1. Navigate to the directory where the Minecraft files are stored.

You can do this by going to the start menu and entering %appdata%.

Alternatively, you can get to it by entering %appdata% in the navigation bar in Explorer.

2. Once you have navigated to your appdata folder go to the folder named ".minecraft"


3. Now navigate to the folder called "mods"


4. Copy the mod file of your desired mod into the mods folder.




Tips:

• Some older mods are coremods and should go in the "coremods" folder rather than the "mods" folder. If a mod is a coremod, it will be specified on our site. You will only need to do this with old mods and old versions of Forge.
• Mods are typically either a .jar file or a .zip file. These mods can be copied into the "mods" folder unless they are a coremod (in which case, you follow the previous tip). Sometime a mod file is stored within a .zip file. In this case, you will have to extract the mod file from the .zip. We will specify when a mod file is stored in a .zip file. If you are not certain, you can always open up the .zip in your favorite archive manager and check.

5. Launch Minecraft with the Forge profile again.

6. When it launches o the menu, click on the mods button.

7. Your mod should now appear in the mod list.

Download Forge Mod Loader

Forge Mod Loader is a mod for Minecraft that allows you to load other mods on top of it. Most mods require Forge.

How to change your version of Minecraft

This tutorial will show you how to change your Minecraft version. There are multiple reasons why someone would want to change their version of Minecraft. These reasons include needing compatibility with a mod that hasn't yet been updated for the latest version of Minecraft, wanting to feel nostalgia for an older version of the game or simply wanting to try out one of the pre-releases to see what new and cool features are in it.

(Note: Although Microsoft Windows is used in this tutorial, the process of changing the Minecraft version is the same throughout every operating system that supports Minecraft.)


1. Launch Minecraft.
2. Go to the "New Profile" button on the bottom left of the launcher.

3. Select your desired version. If you want access to snapshots select the snapshots check-box. If you want access to really, really old versions of Minecraft (alpha and beta) select the appropriate check-box.

4. Give the profile a name and press the "Save Profile" button at the bottom right of the profile editor.

5. Press play. The launcher will now download all the required files for that version and you will be able to play it separately from your other versions of Minecraft.

Get GLSL Shaders Mod

Installation instructions:
1. Navigate to your .minecraft folder. If you don't know how, read our guide on how to navigate to the .minecraft folder.
2. Create a new folder called shaderpacks (without capital letters) if it doesn't currently exist.
3. Download the shaderpack.
4. The put the shaderpack in the shaderpacks folder. Valid shaderpacks must be either an uncompressed folder or a ZIP file. To enable the shader, launch Minecraft, go to Options > Shaders, and select your desired shader pack. (Note that valid shaderpacks include .fsh and .vsh files. These files tell your GPU what to do during runtime.)
6. Now, in Options > Shaders, enable "tweakBlockDamage", and disable "CloudShadow".
7. Then, in Options > Shaders, make sure that "OldLighting" is off.

This mod currently isn't available for the latest version of Minecraft. You will have to be running 1.7.5 to run it. If you need to downgrade, read our guide on changing the version of Minecraft.
