Minecraft Forge is supposed to let you install more than one mod at once.

erm...

Forge is a mod that allows certain mods to be installedand makes sure that they play nice. If none of those mods say they need forge, then you may actually be breaking it by having it included.

The iron chests mod says I need to install Forge. I'm supposed to install it by dragging over the contents from the zip file to minecraft.jar, right? It it matters, I'm using 7-zip file manager.

[Bunny of Faith]

Guys, I'm having trouble with installing some mods. I'm attempting to apply the following together to Minecraft:

Lights Out [link]
Minecraft Forge [link]
Iron Chests Mod [link]
ModLoader [link]
Timber! Mod [link]

The way I use to try and install them:
-After downloading the mods, extract them to a file on my desktop which contains all my mod files.
-Open up the zip files the mods are contained in using 7-zip file manager.
-Open up minecraft.jar using 7-zip file manager.
-Drag the mod files over to the minecraft.jar.
-Delete META-INF.

When I was just using modloader and the timber mod, it worked fine. When I added in the other mods and Forge, minecraft froze on the "Done loading" screen with the bar most of the way full. Then I have to delete the minecraft folder and reinstall it.

What am I doing wrong here?

Judging from this, it appears you are putting the Iron Chests mod into the .jar. If that's the case, you're doing it wrong. It specifically says at the bottom of the link you provided that you put the Iron Chests .zip into the mods folder.

I've tried something different. I've made a folder in C:\Users\Alex\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft called mods, put all the different mods and forge in there, and then dragged the contents of the ModLoader zip file into minecraft.jar. I also downloaded Simple Ores [link] so I could use the copper and silver chests. Now it just freezes on the screen that says "Mojang" before an error message appears and disappears before I can read it. Am I doing something else wrong, or are the mods just incompatible?

Mods are possibly incompatible, but that's still wrong. You do what each mod specifically says to do.

Modloader and Forge go into the Jar.
Timber Mod goes into the Jar.
Lights Out goes into the Jar.
Simple Ores goes into the Jar.
Iron Chests, however, goes into the /mods folder.

I was unaware that door breaking was a thing....interesting.

How far away from a village do they spawn? This could have unfortunate repercussions for my city when I populate it. That said, everything is solvable by sufficient numbers of Golems.

I find that its best to build a wall around your city. Keeps zombies and creepers out, and villagers in. Or to just move a breeding pair into a secure location in the sky. With a wall around the edge to prevent falling.

[The Bushranger]

And this is why I've avoided any and all mods that require Forge...

[Draconi Redfir]

Wait, is Matt not coming back? Can we ask him what he'd like?
By the way, I am now back from out-of-town. Yay.

He was banned remember? He was the guy behind the obsidian spread and aparently did some pretty nast things off-world.

[TechnoScrabble]

Hey, a friend and I want to make a let's play with at least three people in it, but neither of us has an internet connection good enough to host a server and play at the same time. Anyone wanna host a small server and the third wheel on this tricycle?

[Deme]

Didn't we already take down his stuff, saving those he asked us not to?

...Also, wasn't that Vknight?

He still has a small wooden house built into the side of a hill on Tale Avenue. And by Matt i was referring to his Character name.

[DabblerWizard]

Wrong thread...

[Draconi Redfir]

Grrr. Turns out installing Java messed up my Formspring acess a bit. still useable, but i can't use some of the main features. Laaame.

Assuming I don't have to use voice chat or the like, I'm interested in joining the LP.

[Togath]

Joining a letsplay sounds like it could be interesting to me as well, though I dont have voice chat either, I could also help with redstone, as I'm decent at it.

[Saposhiente]

That was Vknight, not matthias...

[Matthias2207]

I think Draconi is hoping to get my diamonds...
The wooden house on Tale Avenue is mine. Matthias is my character name. I'm not banned, I didn't have anything to do with the obsidian, except that it partly blocked the entrance to my home.

[Draconi Redfir]

... GDI sorry Matt :S

[Deme]

Right. I correctly knew who he was, so you can see why *I* was confused.

[Draconi Redfir]

Yes yes your right i'm dumb i get it now >:P

[Tome]

Hey Deme, did you get the PM with that skin you wanted?

[TechnoScrabble]

Assuming I don't have to use voice chat or the like, I'm interested in joining the LP.

That's fine, I was gonna do the recording. You can record, too, if you like.

[Maxios]

Hey Techno, is it all right if TheMagicalCake joins the LP too?

Oh, I already have that. And a moat. The thing is, my city is really, really big. So village borders may not correlate with city wall borders. Are these zombie swarms subject to usual spawn restrictions?

Anyone have any good Project Ideas? I've just finished off my Fireworks Display on another Sever, and I'm shopping around for project Ideas.

i've always wanted to see a nether village hanging from the roof of the nether.

Sounds like a good avenue of expansion for Netherheim.

[Draconi Redfir]

And if you build it right at the bedrock layer (at the roof) and someone edited the bedrock so it was only one layer thick, then it could potentually make a legit testificate village! (though with no day/night cycle or zombies there would probably be no point.)

There we go, that's my worry. That means the spawn locations will almost certainly fall inside the city, and thus, I need to consider an extensive golem defense system.
