How to update? I click on Minecraft 1.7.2 but it takes me to a website with all the updates instead of the update.

Being a nerd is noting to be ashamed of. Who made the internet? Nerds. Who made computers and tablets? Still nerds. Who made every game you played in your life and ever will? Nerds, nerds, and more nerds. I am a nerd and I'm proud to be one.
My client auto loaded to 1.7.2 but I dont want to use that version at this time.. how do I revert back to 1.6.4 without the launcher auto installing 1.7.2
My only complaint though is they moved sprinting to another button... :/ I was really use to it double pressing W.
But anyway, I guess I will have to try it and see what its like.

Have fun, and good luck!
Anyway, thanks for giving us this news.
I put the rival in the rival rebels mod :D.
Try it without, I was getting excellent frame rates without optifine on the snapshots. An HD texture and animations were working.
And still no API!
This is a nice update though I have to say.
1.7 WILL BREAK BIOME COLOR MAPS IN MOST RESOURCE PACKS!
(unless they were smart and simply painted a gradient across the map rather than the dot technique used in Misa's biome template)
Please be patient. Your local texture artists are on the job.
Quality control looks like more and more like Microsoft....
