Minecraft Profile Switcher is a small implementation of switchable Minecraft profiles that allows you to quickly switch between bin folders and jar files.

ModLoader mods such as Millenaire will be available to all profiles. This will be changed in the next major release.

Requirements

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0+ or Mono
  • Cross-platform (works on Windows and Linux/Mac OS X). Only tested on Windows though.

Workaround for Minecraft.exe on other platforms

To be able to bypass the Select Minecraft.exe message box on other platforms:
  1. Write a shell script that launches Minecraft.
  2. If your file system allows it, make sure you set that script to be executable.
  3. When asked for Minecraft.exe select that script instead.

Bug reports

If you find a bug, please post a reply clearly stating the actions to reproduce the bug and the result. If it is a .NET Framework exception, please paste it entirely.

Linux and Mac OS X testers needed

Please contact me if you're willing to help. You get a cookie for every version you test in return.

And please before you start flaming me because as many as x similar programs exist, I mainly started this project to gain more experience in C# and Minecraft and I don't care if there's a lot of similar tools out there.

I would be more than wiling to compile and test. o:
(Assuming there aren't any depandancies that I can't get on Linux.)

It's coded in C#, so you can run it natively or compile it on any platform that supports Mono or .NET.

It would be nice if you added something like level.dat switching.

I have been using it together with my sister for ages, we have had separate characters for singleplayer, and some bash scripts did the work. But GUI would be cool.

looks very useful for things I do, will try now.

EDIT::: Does not work for mac, due to the .exe file. Unless I am missing another link from somewhere.

You'll have to download Mono (mono-project.com) for this to work on other platforms.
