What are mods?
Mods modify the game. Mods will only work with a certain Minecraft version so be sure that the mod you want works with the version you have. If you really want the mod but it's for 1.3.0 and you have 1.9.0 then you could download 1.3.0 from the launcher.

What are forge mods?
Forge mods only work with Forge. Forge processes mods differently than Modloader, so only certain mods can work with the two.
