This was a frustrating process for me, merely I finally got it.

Watch this video. It's good and may requite you everything y'all need.

If not (there were a few extra things I needed to exercise) read on.

1. Download minecraft forge.

Goto http://files.minecraftforge.net/ and download the 'Installer' for the near contempo recommended version (1.6.iv at this time of writing).

To skip the adds, click the '*' beside the word 'Installer' on the '1.vi.4-Recommended' and download the jar file (it will save to your downloads directory).

2. Relieve former profile.

The adjacent affair nosotros are going to do is salvage your electric current minecraft configuration, before blowing information technology all away with the new minecraft forge client.

Open upwards your 'finder' and click 'Go to Folder…'

minecraft-forge-finder-goto

Then type in exactly exactly what you see below into the textfield and hit the 'Go' button.

minecraft-forge-finder-applications

This will take your to your minecraft application directory where your profile is stored (sorry, I forget to mention you will need to install minecraft on your Mac outset before installing forge).

One time there drag and drib these files and folders to your desktop.

minecraft-forge-saved-files

Then blow everything else away in the directory.

three. Create forge profile.

Now start your minecraft application. This is going to download the latest minecraft version.

Now here is where things differ from the video. If your minecraft client version (1.vii.3), is different from the latest forge version (ane.6.4), it'due south not going to piece of work (at least non yet).

We need to create a 1.half-dozen.iv profile (the same version equally forge) and then things will work.

And so if your latest customer version differs from the forge version, create a new contour matching them up.

For instance to to create a ane.vi.4 profile, click 'Contour Editor' at the tiptop of your login screen.
Then click 'New Profile'.

Then file in the contour name (pick whatever you want, perhaps put 1.6.4 in at that place and then you know the version), and and so select 'release ane.six.four' for the Use Version, and and then 'Save Profile'.

Now you have a compatible customer that is going to work with your forge!

No you tin can get back to your login screen, select your new 1.6.four profile, and login.

Click 'Quit Game' and close down your minecraft launcher (Command-Q) or right click quit in your awarding toolbar.
