Before I update, I would love to know if anyone has copied and saved the old minecraft .jar and then updated and then reverted back to the old one and it still working. Simpler version of what I'm saying: 1. Copy the minecraft .jar 2. Paste it on yo desktop 3. Update to 1.6 4. Move the 1.6 minecraft .jar to the desktop and put the 1.5 jar back in the minecraft folder where the 1.6 jar was 5. Works? Back to 1.5?? Thanks Minner Also if anyone wants to sell me 54 heads, you can pm me ( preferably player heads )
You can just run the new launcher and play 1.6 as normal. Then, you can run the old launcher and play 1.5 as normal, they don't interfere with eachother. That, and the fact that you can easily switch between versions with the new launcher.
The 1.6 launcher has downgrading built in. You will have to reinstall your mods if you use this method but it is a lot easier. I posted instructions here.
For people having issues with downgrading/upgrading I use Magic Launcher: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/939149-launcher-magic-launcher-116-mods-options-profiles-news/ It helps people download mods, really easy to use, and it looks a lot nicer, it even has interesting things to search into ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Downloads For Magic Launcher 1.1.6 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Windows: http://adf.ly/404181/magiclauncher.com/adloadx.php?f=MagicLauncher_1.1.6.exe For Mac: http://adf.ly/404181/magiclauncher.com/adloadx.php?f=MagicLauncher_1.1.6.zip For Windows/Mac/Linux: http://adf.ly/404181/magiclauncher.com/adloadx.php?f=MagicLauncher_1.1.6.jar ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ I hope this is better for you, any problems just ask.
With magic launcher? It's ok if you don't install mods into it, it's just a fancy do-it-all launcher. Lag issues never happen with it. If your not talking about that then I apologize :3
