    Hey, earlier today there was a guy who wanted to know how to install mods on a mac, using the old trick, and without any launcher nor patcher. So here it is.

    First, you need to locate your Computers Folder, with the name of the account you have:

    Screen shot 2012-03-05 at 11.03.23 AM.png

    Now that you have located the folder, get into it and look for a folder named "Library"

    Screen shot 2012-03-05 at 11.03.37 AM.png

    Go in that folder, and now you have to look for the folder "Application Support"

    Screen shot 2012-03-05 at 11.03.41 AM.png

    Next step, once you are in the folder, look for the folder Minecraft and click it:

    Once you are inside the Minecraft folder, Look for Bin folder...

    Screen shot 2012-03-05 at 11.03.50 AM.png

    Now that you are there, find your Minecraft.jar and open it with Archive Utility :)

    Screen shot 2012-03-05 at 11.04.17 AM.png

    It should pop out a folder called Minecraft, now you can delete the jar or save it as a backup

    Screen shot 2012-03-05 at 11.04.25 AM.png

    Enter the folder, and organize all the files by Kind, its gonna be easier to mod like this

    Once everything is organized, find the folder META-INF and delete it,

    After that, Go where you have all the mods

    Screen shot 2012-03-05 at 11.05.15 AM.png

    Open Modloader, mcpatcher or wathever mod enabler you are using and copy all files

    Screen shot 2012-03-05 at 11.05.21 AM.png

    Go back to the Minecraft Folder you made with Archive Utility and paste it, also hit replace all when pasting

    Screen shot 2012-03-05 at 11.05.30 AM.png

    Finally, after adding all the mods you wanted, right click the folder and select Get Info, go to the names and extensions, Write .Jar at the end ,and click Add .jar

    Screen shot 2012-03-05 at 11.05.34 AM.png

    Screen shot 2012-03-05 at 11.05.45 AM.png

    After that, you are ready to go, go and play Minecraft with your mods, Of course there are different way to mod your minecraft jar, but I use this one.
    I hope this helps for all you Mac users that dont know how to mod :)

    This is what I do too :D Although I promised I'd try Magic Launcher - so I will when all the final versions of the mods I want come out. But this is REALLY easy once you have done it 999999 times.

    If you have Magic Launcher then the only thing you need to do is to locate the mod in your downloads folder but i dont know if Magic Launcher works for mac.
