I made this tutorial so that you can downgrade your client quick and easily. This is especially useful when Minecraft is updated, so that you can play on the server until that is updated.
To downgrade, you first need to locate your Minecraft data folder.
Windows 7:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\
You then should backup the bin folder. Rename it to bin_b, or anything similar.
Download one of the zip files below, and extract the folder to the Minecraft data folder. Rename it to bin.
Once this is done, you then need to open up the bin backup folder, and copy the file named 'version'.
Copy this across to the bin file you extracted. Click yes to overwrite the one already there.
Please note, you will still need a Minecraft account that has purchased the game, to login with.
These are NOT cracked files.
List of Minecraft clients I have available:
Alpha 1.2.6 (http://www.mediafire.com/?t4x8yqa1icxxl8d)
Beta 12 (http://www.mediafire.com/?y8426h87k59x6k7)
Beta 13 (With debug item code) (http://www.mediafire.com/?u95nijs3ja5y57u)
Beta 13_01 (Fix to remove debug item code) (http://www.mediafire.com/?89r4660dad7jid2)
Beta 14 (http://www.mediafire.com/?4hqjhr242r224qp)
Beta 14_01 (http://www.mediafire.com/?tnlr4qdh4ubjvf8)
Beta 15 (http://www.mediafire.com/?fza6iq42j2ce468)
Beta 15_01 (http://www.mediafire.com/?dwe9ucldkuifd1c)
If you have any other clients not already posted here, I'd be grateful if you could upload them somewhere for me to include here.
I would also like to know the locations of the Minecraft data folder on other OS', like Windows XP.
