I recently saw DanTDM's video about Minecraft 2.0 (version from 2013's 1st april jokes) so I wanted to try it on my own. I remember installing custom/older versions on old launcher (the one before 1.11) so I thought that it should be easy. But I have problem, on this new launcher, when I transported the jar file to .miencraft/versions, launcher won't recognize it. Help please?
Did you put the folder containing the .jar in the versions folder? It should appear on the list of versions when you're editing a profile.
You should be able to select the version you want to download from that that menu. I don't know why people think you download the jar from a separate source. I would suggest you scan your pc.

Roughly 95% of Minecraft players hate Villagers and would be very happy if they were removed. If you are one of the 5% who actually like villagers, copy this into your signature and hope it never happens. ~EnderDude124

You must also delete some lines from the json file, as shown in the attachment in the link or the launcher will just redownload the jar according to the version specified in the download URL, regardless of the actual name (this also applies to any mods, though most of them have installers that do this for you).
Also, Mojang has updated various libraries over time and not just any version's json may work; for example, 1.6.4 uses LWJGL 2.9.0 while 1.11.2 uses 2.9.4. The closest match to 2.0 would be 1.5.1, which was released about a week earlier:
Here is what the part that must be removed looks like; you can see that the URLs refer to 1.5.1 (I don't think the server links matter but I'd just delete the whole section):
I got Minecraft to detect it properly but it crashed upon starting and the modified .jar is still intact. I used 1.5.2.json because that was what I had at the time. Well, did you get it to work?

Yea, I did.
The .jar file is called minecraft and not the version name. Here's what you need to do:
I got Minecraft to detect it but it crashed. I'm not sure how to fix it.
He wants the 2.0 joke version.
That will not work; the launcher will simply replace the jar with the "proper" version:

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?

Here is the download.
Here is the tutorial.
Detect what? ModLauncher the 2.0 is Mojang or not cos the current version works flawlessly.
