So you're telling me you know exactly where and what to put things for Minecraft mods as soon as you started?
I was unable to find any tutorials.
I sure did. Granted I didn't download mods until a few months ago, but I did go into minecraft folders where everything was stored, opened the .jars and found minecraft.jar to hold the .class files and everything else. From there when I downloaded mods, I saw ".class" and figured out where to put it, and was confirmed by everyone else. It's not that hard if you are computer savvy.
