5 Open your minecraft launcher again (Make sure you've set up your Forge profile If not go through Part 3 again). Click "Play" and you'll need to wait to download additional libraries. Once it's done, you can play the game that has been modified! It loaded and everything is up-to-date. All I see is the launch screen. What can I do to improve it?

You can allocate more RAM, and if that fails, delete your system32 files (even when it warns you that there might be corruption). Then, restart your computer. Thanks! Yes No Not Helpful 22 Helpful 5

Some mods require core mods (e.g. CodeChickenCore) therefore make sure you go through the mod's website before downloading as it won't function if it doesn't have its required core mods.
