Are you tired of waiting for mods to be updated? Did you accidentally updated minecraft without a backup? Want to temporarily "visit" older minecraft versions? I introduce you to the new downgrade tool, MC Downgrader. This tools uses binary difference patch files and does not touch any of the core jar files other than minecraft.jar. MC Downgrader is easy, painless, and simple to use!
There is no support for servers, please use Bukkit.
System Requirements:
Internet Access
Any operating system that supports Java 1.7+
Features:
Easy download of patches
Simple Patch/Unpatch
Multiple Backups
Tutorial:
Additional instructions for manual way:
1. Download the Patches.zip here.
2. Choose your patch, each patch file will be named 'minecraft.patch' and will be placed in folders, the first letter of each folder represents the type of Minecraft revision (a = alpha, b = beta, f = full/final).
3. Copy the 'minecraft.patch' file to the same directory as MC Downgrader is located.
4. Run MC Downgrader and just click patch.
This tool is hosted by me. I am paying for the server fees out of my own pocket. As a student, it is extremely hard to come by spare money to keep this tool alive. So, please consider donating.
Legality:
I share the same viewpoint as CyborgDragon.
A lot of people question the legality of this. Well, it is not directly redistributing the minecraft jar files. It is the differences between the latest jar files and older versions. The difference("patch") files will not work without the files that need to be patched, in this case, the latest version of Minecraft. They will not work with anything else. Now, this clears it of one part of the forum rules, but not the illegality. Well, to clear that up, I've contacted Mojang multiple times, and they have been made aware of it at least twice, their response wasn't much, but I take it as a "do what you will." If they ask me to take it down in the future, I will.
Disclaimer:
This modifies the minecraft.jar binary file. By downloading and using this tool you understand the risks of damaging your minecraft.jar file and that 68x will not be held accountable for your actions!
This tool is awesome. I still remember the huge amounts of lag that were generated from leaf decay back when Alpha transitioned into Beta. I wanted to downgrade back so badly, but I couldn't find out how. Awesome job.

When life gives you a potato, wonder why the heck life just gave you a potato. Why not something else? Like money? Or a combustable lemon? No, you get a potato. Nothing else.
Extremely helpful, was able to downgrade legally to 1.4_01 without issue. Good for modders that want to revive or continue older mod projects that weren't updated. for you, sir.
