awesome guys
probably a dumb question but does this work with 1.7.2?
of course not!
Another dumb question…….the description says it is available for 1.7.4, but in the download area it says “Update for 1.7.4 is progress:40%” what does that even mean???
Not so easy is easier than a-easy! e_e’
question: does this work with 1.7.5?
There is no 1.7.5 version available…it’s incompatible with this version. Please update the description!
I did the “hard way”, everythings nice, then i click play, and it CRASHES, and start the launcher again. What now?
i dont have 1.7.5 ? folder ?
