Part 2 of 2: Troubleshooting For Forge Mod Loader Installation
Step 1. Try updating the version of Minecraft installed on your computer if the FML installation fails
If you are using an older version of the game, you may run into problems installing the recommended version of FML.
Step 2. Contact the developer who created the mod in order to get specific instructions to have FML automatically integrate mods into Minecraft
In some cases, in order to use a certain mod, you may need to install a version of FML other than the one indicated that you can download from the URL
Step 3. If the mod you selected doesn't integrate properly into Minecraft, try using another mod or changing the FML configuration
In some cases, the cause of the problem could be a malfunctioning or outdated mod.
