So I have learned that there are no longer any bin folders or .minecraft folders on in the versions of minecraft 1.6 or higher. I still want to add mods though. Is there a way to add the mods of my choice without using Magic Launcher or the bin folder (since it doesn't exist)? All help is appreciated. Thank you :)

There is a .minecraft
folder, it's just hidden.
Everything that starts with a dot is hidden in Ubuntu (or any other Linux/UNIX OS).
To get in this folder:
- Open your file manager
- Click on
Home
- Press CTRL + H
- Search for
.minecraft
and open it - Press CTRL + H again to hide hidden files and folders
However there is no minecraft.jar
anymore. You can now install multiple versions of Minecraft at the same time, so JARs have moved to versions/1.7.9/1.7.9
for example.

Yes I understand that there isn't a bin folder any more or a minecraft.jar folder. Is there another way to add the mods? I'm kind of confused on what you mean by the versions and what not.– BelaMay 15, 2014 at 10:59

Yes,
minecraft.jar
has just moved. For example, if you're using 1.7.9, the location would be.minecraft/versions/1.7.9/1.7.9.jar
. You can mod this file, but you can also just run the mod installer which will do this for you. May 15, 2014 at 12:05 -

This question isn't really related to Ubuntu anymore, but anyway. I assume you're using Forge Mod Loader. After you've installed Forge Mod Loader into the
.jar
, mods will be shared between all versions en should be placed in.minecraft/mods
