Installing mods on a mac

[sam-the-man]

hey its don. I have a mac and I basically found how to install mods for SSP by trial and error. Here are the step by step instructions on how to do it;
1. Go to Library>application support>minecraft>bin.
2. Compress minecraft.jar to get file called minecraft.jar.zip.
3. Delete minecraft.jar so you are only left with minecraft.jar.zip.
4. Download 'The Unarchiver' at www.the-unarchiver.en.softonic.com/mac
5. Open minecraft.jar.zip with the unarchiver (you should be given another minecraft.jar)
6. Open the minecraft.jar folder with the unarchiver.
7. Now you should have 3 things; minecraft.jar, minecraft.jar.zip and a folder called minecraft.
8. Delete minecraft.jar and rename the minecraft folder to minecraft.jar.
9. When you have minecraft.jar.zip and a folder called minecraft.jar, you should be good to go!
10. NOTE: This doesent work for ALL mods. I have installed toomanyitems and singleplayercommands without breaking my game.

If you get a black screen or your minecraft doesent work for any reason, do step 1 again, then delete minecraft.jar and minecraft.jar.zip and force update minecraft. Thanks -don
