THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
-WinRAR (Or any other program that can extract and open .jar files
- The mod you wish to use (if it's in an archive, extract the files and get them ready)
BACKUP YOUR .MINECRAFT FOLDER BEFORE ANY MODDING
OR YOU COULD LOSE YOUR DATA!
STEP ONE:
Read the mods instructions carefully,
To open your .minecraft folder:
In Windows 7: C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
In Windows Vista/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\*your user name*\Application Data\.minecraft
Linux: /home/Your User Name/.minecraft
Mac OS/X: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
.minecraft Folder
The .minecraft folder looks something like this:
-bin
-resources
-texturepacks
-saves
-options.txt
What's inside the bin folder is what we need:
-natives
-lwjgl,jar
-minecraft.jar
-jinput.jar
-lwjgl_utility.jar
-version file
Open the minecraft.jar file with WinRAR or the program of your choice.
STEP TWO:
Now that you have your .minecraft.jar open, you can follow the instructions of the mod you got. Most instructions are like this:
-Extract the contents of the mod to a temporary folder
-Drag and drop the contents of the mod into the WinRAR window that has minecraft.jar open. If the mod has any folders in it that are the same name as any in the minecraft.jar (such as armor or gui, don't worry, WinRAR will merge the contents together)
-Make sure you delete the META-INF folder inside your minecraft jar or the mods will not run.
-Finish any other instructions, If there is a PROPERTIES file then it would go in the .minecraft folder along side bin etc...
-If the mod you want requires modloader then usually all you will need to do it make a folder in the .minecraft folder called mods and place the rar file in there!
