Welcome to MCJars, the Minecraft modified launcher that lets you choose the jar to load. It can be used to have no mods when you load the default jar, or a variety of mods when you load any other jar for the game. Anyways, it is uber awesome and now you can play your version backups, or mod backups, without editing the ".minecraft" folder.
--- Menu ---
When you first open the launcher, you will notice there is an extra text box, with the label "Jar Name:". This is the name of the jar you would like to load, minus the extension. If you had a backup labeled "back.jar" in the bin folder, you would enter the name "back" into the text box.
--- Command Line ---
As opposed to using the gui method, you can load the jar via the command line using the syntax "java -jar MCJars.jar <username> <password> <JarName> [server[:port]]". The server function is optional, but the rest of the options are required or the game will not load.
--- Bugs ---
Known bugs as of v1.1:
1) Updating without "minecraft" as the jar name causes a fatal error.
2) In linux, the minecraft files are stored in the "minecraft" directory not the ".minecraft" directory.
Known bugs as of v1.0:
1) Updating without "minecraft" as the jar name causes a fatal error.
2) Minecraft files are stored in the user directory, not the appdata directory.
Please comment about any unknown bugs on the forum thread.

This modified launcher was created MiningCrafter. I do not hold rights to the original launcher. If you use this launcher, for anything other than launching (e.g. filming, modifying, redistributing), then please include a link to the forum page associated with this readme.
P.S. If you do not trust the authenticity of this modded launcher, then so be it, but you can personally decompile and examine every line of code if you are that paranoid.
i was just testing it, and it seems that it uses the saves, and resources form you appdata folder, but the lastlogin and the downloads go to the user directory
MiningCrafter, if this is real,then I apologize for the general suspicion of this, but y'gotta remember that these things tend to be a trap. If it is real, though, awesome idea. If it works right, it'll be a cinch to switch from one id/sprite gobbling mod and another.

If English is your first language, please have at least a basic understanding of how it works.

why dont you go ahead and decompile it and check for anything?? i dont think there is anything in it, but, it will make the over suspicious people stop being... over suspicious haha. if you could decompile it, just let us know if theres anything wierd in it. hopefully people will listen. :tongue.gif:
:| You've touched on the one sadness in my life right now. I haven't managed to learn anything about java, so even if I could decompile it I'd be totally lost. :happy.gif:;

Edit: I would distribute the source, but 1) Includes alot of minecraft launcher code, 2) people might not believe its authenticity. and 3) I would prefer to make a tutorial on modding the launcher and how to change what it does.
This is amazing!
If it is real that is. It looks real though, I will wait for someone to decompile it first, and tell us. :biggrin.gif:

Instant Blocks Mod - 17 new blocks that generate structures upon right-click. Includes: Farm, Rainbow Skydive, Grinder, Escape Ladder, Water, Lava, Suction, and Statue Blocks.
If Mojang had better account recovery, I would totally just test this out myself. I seriously doubt that it is malicious, but can never be too sure. Looks very nice though!

Hm... It looks like our chances of finding it... *sunglasses* Just went up a Notch.

No Screenshot. No Download.
What do you meant there is no download? There is totally a download there.
Of course it wants your password, ITS A LAUNCHER. A modded launcher, not a modded game.
Oh, and nice icon.
but read the bugs first, the directory thing is messed up

You should do that.and if you do please make a video instead of just a bunch of c/p codes.
Well could you... Post a more detailed report?
