Just the modloader.txt will probably do.

When you say it doesn't want to work, how do you mean? Does it give you a black screen, a crash ingame or does minecraft fail to start altogether?

You can't upload your .minecraft folder, it breaks copywrite law, and you may be banned.

Just follow the instructions to the letter in the readme included in the BTW download zip.

Ok maybe im the complete noob, but im having the exact same problem. Where i install Modloader followed by Forge, and then BTW. Deleted the META-INF and followed the instructs to the "t" yet i still can't play with the mod.


Is it possible that the mods don't yet work with the new 1.8 version?

Yes that's you're problem.
There are ways to go back to a previous version. I think MCNostalgia is one of them.
But to me, backups is the easiest way.

At the very least, BTW is not updated for 1.8.1 yet.

When you figure something like this out online, you should normally post your solution, so if other people have a similar problem, it might help them.
