So I have learned that there are no longer any bin folders or .minecraft folders on in the versions of minecraft 1.6 or higher. I still want to add mods though. Is there a way to add the mods of my choice without using Magic Launcher or the bin folder (since it doesn't exist)? All help is appreciated. Thank you :)

There is a .minecraft folder, it's just hidden.

Everything that starts with a dot is hidden in Ubuntu (or any other Linux/UNIX OS).

To get in this folder:

  1. Open your file manager
  2. Click on Home
  3. Press CTRL + H
  4. Search for .minecraft and open it
  5. Press CTRL + H again to hide hidden files and folders

However there is no minecraft.jar anymore. You can now install multiple versions of Minecraft at the same time, so JARs have moved to versions/1.7.9/1.7.9 for example.

  • Yes I understand that there isn't a bin folder any more or a minecraft.jar folder. Is there another way to add the mods? I'm kind of confused on what you mean by the versions and what not. – Bela May 15 '14 at 10:59
  • Yes, minecraft.jar has just moved. For example, if you're using 1.7.9, the location would be .minecraft/versions/1.7.9/1.7.9.jar. You can mod this file, but you can also just run the mod installer which will do this for you. – Louis Matthijssen May 15 '14 at 12:05

    So what folder do I add the mod folder into? – Bela May 15 '14 at 12:21
  • This question isn't really related to Ubuntu anymore, but anyway. I assume you're using Forge Mod Loader. After you've installed Forge Mod Loader into the .jar, mods will be shared between all versions en should be placed in .minecraft/mods. – Louis Matthijssen May 15 '14 at 12:24
  • I can see the mods folder, but there is no .jar folder. – Bela May 15 '14 at 19:45
  • The .jar is not a folder... it's the file you should mod. See this screenshot. I suggest you just download the installer here. First make sure you've Minecraft 1.7.2 installed, then download and run the installer called 1.7.2-Recommended. – Louis Matthijssen May 15 '14 at 20:07
  • I just got it to work. Thank you for your help! – Bela May 15 '14 at 23:40
