Hey! Me and my friend would make a server. We found a mod we would use, but it's only 1.2.3 so is it possible to find minecraft_server.jar 1.2.3 anywhere?

Thanks!

poor guy.glad that I still have a copy of minecraft1.2.3.jar ...

Edit:N/A

Ohh is it illegal?? Dammit... :-P

Considering minecraft.net has the server.jar download right at the download page available to people who haven't paid for the game, are you sure it's illegal? I can see linking to a minecraft.jar as being illegal, not the server.jar though. Notch needs to put a repository for older server.jars on the website...

Yes, considering how much of the community uses mods that are *nudge nudge wink wink* supported by Mojang, I don't understand why they don't have older server jars on the website. I, too, am looking for a 1.2.3 server file, because none of the mods I play with have been updated to 1.2.4 yet. Alas...

peace

I find it odd that MojangAB will "allow" MCNostalgia for downgrading client jars, but not allow us any kind of access to downloading previous server jar's. I am myself setting up a server for friends and I need a 1.2.3 server jar (as 2 of the mods we use is not updated to 1.2.4 or now 1.2.5)

actually, heres a quote from the ToS

The One Major Rule

Do not distribute anything we've made. This includes, but not limited to, the client or the server software for the game. This also includes modified versions of anything we've made.

Does that mean that these mods that are made and distributed illegal? They are modified versions of the .jar.

Hm that's interesting. I believe they just put this in so they have control over modding (ex: tell people making hacked modded clients to stop distributing them?). They haven't really hammered down on any harmless mods as far as I've seen.

Ah that makes a lot of sense. I was thinking of the technic modpack at the time of writing, but when I think about it it doesn't distribute the jar. Instead you log in.. and from there the jar's are downloaded from mojang (I think?), and the technic files. Also all the modded stuff is is modpack.jar anyway, which mojang didn't make.

Oh well, I guess I was just not thinking when I wrote that. Also this post/thread is getting thrown off topic. This will be my last post here.

If you want to use 1.2.3, try this little program called MCnostalgia. It downgrades Minecraft legally.
Here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/800346-tool-mcnostalgia-212-now-works-with-132/

does it work with the server jars

Very true... MCnostalgia isn't 1.4.7 AND I REALLY want a 1.2.3 CLIENT.
Better go somewhere else!

I FOUND IT! OMG OMG OMG I FOUND IT! It's 1.2.5, BUT I installed the Hack/Slash server to it, AND SO FAR, it WORKS! Here's an REAL link, that's NOT a virus! http://www.mojang.com/2012/03/minecraft-1-2-5-prerelease/
Oh, and if you don't believe me, just look around for the 1.2.5 prerelease on the Mojang Website. !!! CHEERS MATE!

EDIT: Oops, I put up wrong link. THERE WE GO!

you could always use the mvc "minecraft version changer" if you need any of the old updates
