To install:

Do not copy the mod zip into .minecraft/mods, extract it into minecraft.jar!

Unless you are 1.7+, in which case drop it into .minecraft/mods.

Step-by-step:

Open your minecraft.jar (in Windows it's in "%appdata%\.minecraft\bin\" if you use the vanilla launcher).
Download and install the Forge Universal version for whatever version of the mod you're installing (instructions, under the section "Install Forge")
Copy the mod zip to your mods folder.
If you want quivers to render on your/other players' backs, install the RenderPlayer API too.

Also, I broke something, and now Baubles is a dependency even though it doesn't say so. An update is on the way.
