This can be a simple way for people to get started with a new pack or to try out adding mods to Forge for the first time. I still use this to quickly set up packs from folks who ask for help in these forums and this makes it super easy to switch around to different versions of Forge/MC.
Current Forge Versions:
1.4.7_6.6.2.534
1.5.2_7.8.1.738
1.6.2_9.10.1.871
1.6.4_9.11.1.1345
1.6.4_9.11.1.1345_LL (has LiteLoader installed)
1.7.2_10.12.2.1147
1.7.10_10.13.2.1307 "Recommended"
1.8_11.14.1.1337 "Latest"
I would be happy to add older/other versions of Forge if anyone expresses an interest.
Note: The 1.7.2 version now includes Lexmanos' Legacy Java Fixer mod. The 1.6.4 #1345 update integrated the fix so it has been removed from the 1.6.4 pack builds.
The file named "_4_l-= Insomnia _c_l[Ragecraft II] _4_l=-.DIM0.points" in modsrei_minimap is causing the launcher unzip process to fail. Really, you shouldn't be including the rei_minimap folder at all but you MUST delete at least that file.
