Illegal-Mod-Sites VS Launcher

There are a couple of sites hosting mods without authors permissions etc, sometimes claiming to have mods that don't even exist. Make sure to avoid all sites listed here: https://stopmodreposts.org/

See https://stopmodreposts.org/

Im aware of this site (https://stopmodreposts.org/) but I was wondering if any sites in the past had actually been taken down/removed, or removed specific mods upon authors requests.

Where to get mods? Most important bit first - https://stopmodreposts.org/ There's a lot of websites that claim to be hosting mods but are actually full of shit. They are lying about the mod, or worse, tricking people into downloading malware/viruses.

According to https://stopmodreposts.org/ - it is not safe.

Fighting them is kind of pointless since the owner is often in a country that doesn't care about copyright, and if they get removed from Google they'll just spin up a new site within a few hours. The best way to fight them is by teaching new members of the community to avoid them. https://stopmodreposts.org/

Yeah... stay away from whatever website that is. You should generally only get your mods from CurseForge or Modrinth. The overwhelming vast majority of other sites are illegal reposts (https://stopmodreposts.org/).

MultiMC

Here is a link to Modloader for MCb173. It needs adding directly into the minecraft.jar file, however if you use a launcher like MultiMC, which you can find here: https://multimc.org/ then there is an option to 'add to minecraft jar file' which does the same thing.

I used to have this issue lots, and it was due to my internet being too restrictive. The Minecraft Launcher was refusing to open, and I fixed it by messing with the restrictions until it worked. Hopefully this helps :) if all else fails of course, try just reinstalling it! I’m sure that all your config files don’t get affected by reinstalling it, but just in case make a backup. And if all ELSE ELSE fails, you could switch to a completely different launcher, like MultiMC! Good luck!

If you are willing to try out the launcher - MultiMC which you can find here (there is a Mac option available) : https://multimc.org/ then I have put together an MCb173 pack that has been made for MultiMC. You just use the 'import from zip' option.

Download MultiMC from their official site https://multimc.org/

Others than that, if you insist, you can take a look at the launcher which u/reginakinhi provided or find others on the internet (GitHub for example). Since PrismLauncher is written in C++, and if you are not familiar with it, you should see other launcher as well. Or else https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher is an alternate.

The best way to experience beta 173 is to play beta 173, and perhaps add some mods to it a little later. One of the better launchers to use for old versions and for playing modded is to use the MultiMC launcher which you can find here: https://multimc.org/

This will only assist if you are using MultiMC as your Minecraft launcher as it is a MultiMC instance which you can use the 'import from zip' option. MultiMC can be found here: https://multimc.org/ It includes IC2 1337 with several add-on mods which have also been back-ported to work with it, such as the Thermometer, Advanced machines, etc. You can disable the add-ons you do not wish included. There is also buildcraft and redpower added as well.
