Hi there.

I made a mod and drop the mod into "mods" folder. But it doesn't work.

Why does not it work ? How can I make it work ?

Thanks..

This is because the mod needs 'Forge' to run (link to Forge files). Vanilla Minecraft ignores the 'mods' folder.

Another possibility is that you're using Forge for Minecraft 1.11+ (and thus running the mod in 1.11+. In 1.11 (I believe snapshot 16w32a), using lowercase names was made mandatory and mixed-case names, such as 'CustumMod:SomeName' (where 'CustomMod' is the mod id and 'SomeName' the technical name of the block/mob/item/etc.), will be ignored completely (for it to work, it has to be 'custommod:somename' or 'custommod:some_name'). The same is for texture packs and the files which are within it.
