WITHOUT FORGE Making a Modpack?

[Omega212]

Well I'll keep this short. I know how to make a modpack that uses forge, that's easy. HOWEVER, there is a tiny pack I want to make that uses a mod that doesn't use forge (Christmas Festivities from 2012 for 1.4.5). I know how to manually install this, but can anyone tell me how to make this work on the launcher? (to install manually you delete META-INF from the minecraft.jar and drag in the mod contents afterwards) Thanks in advance!

A.) why wouldn't you want forge?

b.) 1.4.5 mods won't work on 1.7.X (i assume you know this?)

c.) you just drop them into the mods folder wherever your instance of MC is.

A.) The mod literally does not work with forge

B.) Yes, I know. You can still use old versions on the technic launcher though

C.) No, that is not how it works. It goes DIRECTLY in the minecraft.jar because there is NO FORGE. Plus, that isn't how you distribute through the Technic Launcher.

Put the mod in modpack.jar

However due to how the launcher works it probably won't work

Dumping it in modpack.jar is how I assumed it would have worked as well, but I would be interested to know if this worked out for you.  I've been working on some Forge-less stuff myself and it would be nice if there's a launcher which easily supports it.
