How to install Forge, install OreSpawn, and how to make a Minecraft server with OreSpawn!

Here is some help with installing Forge and OreSpawn. You can use this new knowledge to install other Forge-based mods as well! In any event, once you locate your .minecraft directory, MAKE A BACKUP COPY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE. If you're having more problems or other problems after installation, please visit the Technical Help page.

If all else fails, SkyDaz has a one click installer you can try. Simply download it, and run it.
AtlanticCraft also makes a mod pack that includes OreSpawn called Crazy Craft that has a one click installer.
We do not guarantee that they have the latest version though. Good luck!
