I Think People Should Be Allowed To Do This With Older Versions As Long As It Is Just To Construct And Play And Have Fun. No MultiPlayer Of Course But Up Until 1.3 Version There Should Be No Other Links Other Than From Minecraft .Net
I know there is that mod to revert back. But you have to find it, download it, read the readme, remove all mods and then hope for the best. Thing may be obvious to us, but not for everyone. It is just that much easier to download the version you want from a torrent site then go through all those steps. That's why i also support the idea that if you have paid for the game, you should be free to DL any version you want from the original site.
People will find the easiest way otherwise, and that is using a torrented copy (which, if you own the game, is also legal to use, no matter what all those biased Eulas say)
The easiest way is to backup your .Minecraft folder.
I keep 2 copies of my .Minecraft folder on my computer. I make a copy of it whenever there is an update. It only takes a couple of minutes and I can always revert back to any version that I have at any time I want.
Making backups of your files is a good practice no matter what.
What I don't understand is why people are saying that Mojang should be hosting the older files/versions. They're trying to get a game built and released and we've decided to buy in to be able to play as well as be beta testers.
If everyone's playing old versions, how can they be beta testing the latest features to find the bugs to help improve and move towards the final product?
And, like many others have said...back up your files if you're not wanting to update or are wanting to be able to go back. If you're savvy enough to search and find 'illegal' copies of older versions, you're savvy enough to right click on a folder and copy it to another location on your hard drive.
Thanks for posting this. Most of the people who upload them say it is the "This also includes modified versions of anything I've made." part, well it said ALSO, so yeah, plus, first it said "Do not distribute anything I've made."
which means minecraft.jar. So thanks.
One day, there will be finished Minecraft.
And instead of this kinda thread, there will be complaints about how there is nothing new to look forward to in MC!
Yes, Mojang should make a site allowing paid up Minecrafters to down load older versions of the Game. Good idea, go suggest it to Mojang. Hey, if you paid for it, you should have access to all versions of the game.
Given the popularity of Mods and Pluginz, and the time period between updated MC and updated Mods and Plugins, it is nice to be able to revert back a version while you wait.
Yes, we all should make backup copies. Alas, humans are a fallible species, and mistakes are made. Hardware may die, and leave you with no backup...
As to the matter of us all being paying Beta Testers, MC is a game. It's supposed to be fun. Being frustrated by the tech side of it is no fun at all. If MC wasn't so dammed addictive, it would easier to be patient about bug fixes.
Looks at SteveCo chest. Very funny. If dogs weren't so dammed useful, I would be real tempted to tentacle smack Notch sometimes...
I just use my backup jars if I ever want an older version back.
All you people with problems with 1.4 should have done the same as I did, it's perfectly legal and it's the best way.
Also, uploading the older versions to a page where only paid members can see it would be a great idea, but people who want to pirate the game would just ask a friend if they can borrow their paid account so they can see the page.
This does bring up an interesting idea, that perhaps maybe Mojang should continue to host the previous version alongside of the current version, so that people that wish to go back to the older update (and didn't think to back it up) can log into the site and download it.

An Excellent Idea
The question is why though, why waste valuable memory (and risk detrimental high traffic) because somebody doesn't want the newest version, doesn't back up the jar and then says "Yes I'd like to update"?
It was a patch that downgrade Minecraft 1.4 to Minecraft 1.3. It don't contains any Notch file. Only a patch, a .dat file of 600KB.
The thread good deleted by some moderator!.
----
So my mod got deleted, and MC Nostalgia that do the ****ing exact same thing (technologically) is not deleted. viewtopic.php?f=1022&t=113094
This made no sense.
I'd just like to remind the forums of this post. It makes very much sense to actually listen to it, WHY isn't Cyborg Tools removed? It down-grades the Minecraft, and so if this person's mod got deleted. I don't see why Cyborg's shall still be up. Even if it's for other mods as well, at least remove his Download for downgrading.
On-Topic: I can see why you can distribute files, but if it's between friends that have the game bought, does it make any difference? I mean, they bought the game, but they can't download it because internet is down. Is that a reasonable situation?
Maybe you should consider uploading older versions. There is no harm in it, the game is unplayable without an account (or crack). And by baning users for sharing the older version on your forums you will only send them to other download sites like piratebay and such that actually let you download the cracked version so you dont even have to pay for an account.
Think about it!
Actually a better idea would be that when you have bought the game, you can choose which version to download.
Hate to quote myself but it would love to get an answer to this :smile.gif: Thanks.

Retired StaffNo, it's ridiculously easy to install a mod. People asking for a .jar are most likely to be attempting to pirate the game.
