Minecraft 2.0

An amazing job by the Mojang team for an April Fools joke, and awesomely fun to play at times when Minecraft 1.6.4 with the Dalek mod is not silly enough.
Note that 2.0 is Mojang's version of an April Fools joke!
Now all the tutorials on how to install 2.0 are mostly for older versions (e.g. before minecraft 1.6.1), so i thought to myself: "how can i do this?"

One day (i.g. Today) I experimented on downloading minecraft 1.5.1 in the new launcher and installing 2.0 in that directory. And it worked! so here is how to do it:
Step 1
Start by downloading 2.0, because it isn't supported by Mojang it's free! :D But also for the same reason, it isn't on the Minecraft website. D:

Not to worry though, that's what YouTube is for!

If you want the different versions here is the information for all of them. Like maybe you want the super hardcore mode!

Step 2
so now that you have downloaded it go to your launcher select "Edit Profile" and download 1.5.1.


Step 3
Now exit minecraft and get to your versions folder in .minecraft (please watch a video on YouTube if you do not know how).
Copy the folder called "1.5.1" (without quotes) and call the copy "2.0" (without quotes).


Step 4
Open the 2.0 download zip file and put "minecraft.jar" into the new "2.0" folder (both without quotes)

Step 5
Delete "1.5.1.jar"
Rename the files so that:
"minecraft.jar" becomes "2.0.jar"
and
"1.5.1.json" becomes "2.0.json"
(all without quotes).

Step 6
Open "2.0.json" with notepad++

and edit line 2 like so:

  "id": "2.0",

it should originally be:

  "id": "1.5.1",

All you should change is the numbers between the quotes. and leave the quotes this time!
Save and enjoy!

Have fun with minecraft 2.0!
