PLEASE NOTE IT IS NOW COMPULSORY FOR YOU TO UPDATE TO MINECRAFT 1.0.1 AND YOU MUST NOT DOWNGRADE TO 1.8.1. THIS GUIDE WAS A TEMP. FIX WHILE SERVER WAS CHANGED TO 1.0.1
Before the series of threads roll in asking how you roll back your MineCraft, I've made a guide to prevent spam.
Stickied. Thanks.
OK. If you've updated, for a start, you can't play MineTown or the majority of servers because the server update is going to take longer than the client update, so be patient.
For starters, if this works for you, please like the post and post on my wall with a thank you. Helping feels much better with a thanks!
Second, it's easy to rollback. Simply download the client from www.minecraft.net and update it. This will update to the NEWEST one, you're not finished. Once you've updated, delete the minecraft.jar from your "bin" folder in your .minecraft directory and replace with the one in step three.
Make sure it's in your download folder (just a precaution, desktop probably works too).
Backing up of your saves! IMPORTANT!
Before you continue to step three, it's best to back up your Single-player saves. This is probably the most complex part.
---Windows 7---
Start ---> 'Search Files and Folders' box --> %appdata% --> *Press Enter*
Double Left-click .minecraft
Right-click the folder "saves" and *copy* it to the desktop.
The rest is after step-two.
---Windows XP (and most other OS')--- Please NOTE: This section is written from MEMORY, I run Windows 7 and have done since January.
Go to "My Computer"
In the very top-right hand corner should be an empty box. Type: .minecraft and search for it
***If you already know how to search for a folder, just search .minecraft however you prefer.***
Right-click the folder "saves" and *copy* it to your desktop.
The rest is after step-two.
Thirdly, download my minecraft.jar from here: http://www.2shared.com/file/PToKKjYy/minecraft.html4 THANKS TO OKI FOR THE LINK!
*Morning Edit* Removed.
Finally, reinstate your saves. Copy the folder from your desktop and replace it with the one in the .minecraft folder, as discussed earlier.
NOTE: This is a .ZIP file, to unzip it, get WinRAR here: http://rarlab.com/download.htm and download the appropriate version according to your OS and specs.
When going back on minecraft, do NOT update.
PRECAUTIONS:
THIS WILL REPLACE ANY MODS YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED. YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-INSTALL THEM AND I WILL NOT HELP YOU WITH THEM AS YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW! THE ONLY MODS ON THIS CLIENT ARE:
NO BEDROCK SMOG
BUILDCRAFT
THERE ARE NO MORE. TOOMANYITEMS IS NOT INSTALLED (although traces of it's existance are still there).
DISCLAIMER:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF YOU DOWNLOADING THIS. COPYING, DISTRIBUTING AND/OR MODIFYING ANY ATTRIBUTES IS NOT PERMITTED.
