My Mod does not show on the mod list.[SOLVED]
I've been trying t learn how to mod, but I can't seem to get my mod to show up on the mod list once I launch the game. If someone could help, it would mean a lot to me. I've attached my little test mod. (Virus free)

If it doesn't show up that's a problem with info.json in 99.9% of all cases. Because that's the only thing that doesn't throw an error. (Well, unless your mod is in the wrong directory or something :p).

Some of the info.json errors can be found in the log file.eradicator wrote:If it doesn't show up that's a problem with info.json in 99.9% of all cases. Because that's the only thing that doesn't throw an error.

Re: My Mod does not show on the mod list.
Oof. I feel stupid. It turns out i had the mod inside of an unneeded folder. i as looking at other mods to see how they worked, and i saw they were in an extra folder, so i thought that's how they were supposed to be structured. but in reality, it was just winrar putting them in an extra folder when i extracted them. It's working now. Thanks for trying to help!

Zipped mods are in a "extra" folder inside the zip, but extracted mods are directly in the folder:
ModName.zip\ModName\data.lua
vs
ModName\data.lua
ModName.zip\ModName\data.lua
vs
ModName\data.lua
