I need help from someone who actually knows how the launcher works.

(Note: For you stupid ass people who comment: "No idea " or "You probably did something wrong". Don't waste my time and shut up. It is really annoying. For those who actually know what they are doing, Thanks, a lot. Seriously xD)

Okay, so on my fourth attempt, i finally decided to consult for help.

This has flustered me quite a bit.

Here is the short version:

I downloaded all the files i needed into the four necessary folders within the mod pack folder (minecraft forge, player api, and render api). and all that junk. But after i uploaded it to dropbox, pasted the url into the Host url box. I downloaded the modpack onto my launcher and ran it, and a normal vanilla minecraft game came out as a result...

Why didn't the launcher input the mods?

So, here are my specific steps i took (i'll make it as short as possible)

1. Made a folder and named it.

2. Put four folders within the folder (mods,coremods, config, and bin)

3. Put all the mods i wanted into the mods folder.

4. went into the bin folder, created a .jar name "panda pack"

5. Opened the archive for My '.jar' folder (pandapack.jar) Render-api, Player-api, and Minecraft Forge.

6. Drag and Dropped all the files into the Panda-Pack.jar (MF, R-api, P-api)

7.Turned my modpack folder into a .zip

8.Made sure that the .zip didn't have a modpack folder inside (that the folders inside were bin, etc.)

9. Uploaded to dropbox

10. Put The URL into the "Location" url thing on my "create a modpack" window.

11. Started up the launcher.

12. downloaded my modpack,

AND FINALLY: when i started up my mod pack, non of the mods were in there, it was just a vanilla minecraft game.

So, what did i do wrong? Please and thank you for your help ^.^

Is your download location a public folder? Also, try changing the www. to dl.

I went onto my Dropbox account and went to settings, but i didn't find anything there that told me if my link was public or private, i'll check some more :/

Well, i'm just about done with this. I'll just post the actual dropbox and give instructions on how to download, thanks anyways ^.^

Problem found

Rename your bin jar to modpack.jar

Only your server jar should be named after your pack

Also, Forge first unless specified otherwise AFAIK

Well, i have another question, i searched up a video and what should i put in the .jar? All the minecraft stuff? or just forge, and the 'Api' -s

a link to download your pack plus a platform link would help here.
