I haven't posted much in a while...and I thought I'd post a blog for downgrading.

This is a Guide for how to downgrade your Minecraft to any previous version. *Like Beta 1.5,Minecraft Alpha,Indev,etc.*



Guide:

Get the MCNostalgia downgrading tool from MinecraftForum.(Google it.)

Then make sure you have a fresh minecraft.jar *No mods installed in it.* If it has mods in it all you have to do is delete your bin folder then run the game for a fresh new one or just goto the launcher then goto options then click Force-Update.
*Also before using MCNostalgia make sure your Minecraft is closed.*

Then.....in the MCNostalgia archive you downloaded.*Probably a folder if you don't have 7ZIP or winRAR.*
Run the MCNostalgia.exe then read what it says.Press enter to see all versions you can downgrade to.

Type the number beside the Minecraft version you want then press enter.It will change your minecraft.jar to a previous version.

Then you can have fun playing old-versions of Minecraft.

NOTE: To go back to the regular version.*The most-up to date version.* Just force-update in the launcher or delete your bin folder in the .minecraft folder then log-in to the launcher*


There's also a digiex launcher that lets you play other minecraft versions...though it doesn't change your minecraft.jar so you can play versions without having to change your regular .jar.Un-like MCNostalgia though...there's no Indev...but also un-like MCNostalgia it has Survival Test.

I read on a different mc downgrader tool that any modification of the .jar or anything in .minecraft is illegal.. has anyone been arrested for it? Also if we've paid for a game, surely we should play different version that were sort of included in the purchase!

I'm sure this isn't illegal though because it might search for the minecraft.jar in your .minecraft/bin folder, and if it finds nothoing it probably won't work.(So like it re-places it, doesn't add a new one.)

 

I'm sure this is probably it though because when you use it, it does change it and there isn't a new one.(So you woud have to delete bin or just force-update to get the most recent version again.)

CyborgDragon...a MCForum moderator. *Actually retired now so he's retired staff.* has a link to MCNostalgia thread.

And if it is illegal there's no other way unless Digiex Launcher isn't illegal.

I've never used a mac......but I'm sure its kind-of the same way just have to get MCNostalgia and if you don't have mods installed into minecraft.jar you should be able to run it.

*And if you do have mods installed just delete the bin folder like you would on Windows I guess.*

And there's actually a YouTube tutorial for MACs on the thread thats linked by CyborgDragon on his tools thread. *Basicly sonicrules1234's MCNostalgia thread.*
