Hi everyone,

So I really want this mod cause I think it is SO awesome and I really want to be a part of the server.
The thing i though that I can't get the mod to work. I went on Minecraft forum to see if others had the same problem as me and one did.
When i install the mod I just get a black screen. It shows very fast after the mojang logo, even faster than normal.
Does anyone know how to get it to work or what I have to do? Please help me, because I really want it to work on my minecraft.
Thanks.

yah, I had this a while back.

Question: are you using the Modloader version?

if you are, or want to, I have a modloader tutorial that may help.

its for PC and links are in the description. sorry for crap audio, need new mic.
basically, the META-INF folder in the .jar is usually the problem, even if it doesn't seem like it.

once you do that, just put the minelittlepony mod into the mods folder that should pop up after starting minecraft.
after unpacking into a folder. :)

Okay, let's start afresh. Open the Minecraft launcher, then instead of clicking 'Log in', choose 'Options' then 'Force Update'. Then log in (it'll take a little longer than usual).

Now download the non-modloader version of the mod. Open the zip with WinRar and minimise it for now. Now go to the Start menu and open My Computer, then in the bar at the top type %appdata% and go to .minecraft. In here you'll find a file called minecraft.jar. Open it with WinRar.

Now bring up both the WinRar windows and drop all the .class files from the zip you downloaded into minecraft.jar. Then open the folder called mob in the zip file and drop all the .png files from there into the folder called mob in minecraft.jar. Delete the folder called META-INF in minecraft.jar. If you did all that right, you will see everyone as ponies next time you open Minecraft! (Assuming you're on PC.)


Sorry if that was a little wordy, I felt the need to include as much detail as possible so you wouldn't get confused.

Three Things to Check:
1. Are you using v1.0, the most recent version of MLP? (Probably, but just to be safe.)

2. Have you made sure you extracted the files into the right places within minecraft.jar?
You should not have a Mine Little Pony 1.0 folder within the .jar. All of the .class files should go directly into main file, and the mob folder should combine with the original mob folder.

3. Have you deleted the META-INF folder within the jar?

Also note that updating Minecraft reverts the mod, so you need to reapply it after updating.

Abridged version:
1. Put all the .class files into minecraft.jar.
2. Put all the .png files (bpony_1.png etc.) from the mob folder into the mob folder in minecraft.jar.
3. Delete META-INF.

All non-modloader mods are installed the same way (with some exception to step 2).

When you boot up Minecraft it checks to see if there is a minecraft.jar and if there isn't, it downloads a new one.

However, now 1.1 is out all this will become a lot more complicated if you don't have a clean, working, 1.0 minecraft.jar so you're probably better off waiting until both the server and the mod are updated before trying again.
