i have a question,
if i paste older version mods into the minecraft.jar and select the version the mods need to run on, will the mods still work on the version it needs to run it and not run on the 1.7.10 minecraft version?

I thought META-INF was something that stops mc from running if you modify something?
There are lots of "minecraft .jar's". Check for the .jar you want to edit though the directory path:
You have updated to the launcher, correct?
As for this, and all other steps: If you simply create the profile through the minecraft launcher using the specified file as a base and naming it something else; all the json id shenanigans can be avoided.
\.minecraft\versions\<version>\<version>.jar

4. Rename the folder for the version you require to something else. In this example, rename "1.6.4" to "1.6.4_Modded".

modifying your minecraft.jar is the old way of installing mods and doesn't work anymore.
You'll need to check of the mod is using Forge (Forge is a modding API). If so, download the Forge version you need (must be for the same mc version as the mod), install it, run the newly created Forge profile once, go to %appdata% -> minecraft. -> mods and paste the mod files into there (some mods might require more steps, always read the installation guide of the mod itself).
If not, you need to modify your minecraft yourself:
1. Open the new launcher and make sure the version of Minecraft the mod requires is already installed.
2. Click "Edit Profile" in the launcher, then open the game directory.
3. Go into the subfolder "versions".
4. Rename the folder for the version you require to something else. In this example, rename "1.6.4" to "1.6.4_Modded".
5. Open the 1.6.4_Modded folder.
6. Rename "1.6.4.jar" to "1.6.4_Modded.jar".
7. Rename "1.6.4.json" to "1.6.4_Modded.json".
8. Open "1.6.4_Modded.json" with a text editor and replace "id":"1.6.4" with
9. "id":"1.6.4_Modded", save the file and close it.
10. Open the class files from the mod with an archiver such as WinRAR or 7-Zip and copy-paste the files into 1.6.4_Modded.jar. Do not close the archiver yet.
12. Delete META-INF and close the archiver.
13. Start the new launcher.
14. Click "Edit Profile"
15. In "Use Version", select "1.6.4_Modded".
16. Click Save Profile.
17.Login and play as normal.

thanks
Dont delete META-INF
Depends on the mod you want to install, that's why you always need to read the installer guide.
U never delete META-INF anymore. META-INF is a game stabilizer
XslareAs you're editing the .jar itself, make sure to edit the correct profile's .jar; there shouldn't be any cross-over issues.
what do you mean?
i have lots of older versions in profiles saved, but theres only 1 minecraft.jar
There shouldn't be any cross-over issues. Just make sure to edit the correct profile's .jar, and you should be good to go.
