  1. I cannot download the modgician program, all it downloads is a internet link to the program. It is in a jar extension. How do you download the program?

      Yes the Modgician program has a .jar extension. If it doesn’t launch when you double click on it, then there may be a problem with Java on your computer. Please ensure that java is installed https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp and then try launching again. If you still have problem, please log a support request in the members area on the site and we’ll help figure out what the problem is.
