So, I'm sure we've all had this problem before. You have some really cool mod that you want to play but it isn't compatible with some of the other mods that you have. Or maybe you don't wan't to be temped to cheat on a world that you PROMISED yourself you wouldn't cheat on. Anyway you get my point, but the thing is my idea would fix those problems.
So what this mod/tool would do is, essentially, extend the launcher to allow you to switch .jar files. When you click "Login" in the Minecraft launcher it loads what looks like a normal main menu but what it really is, is an extended version of the launcher. By default when you go to single player or multiplayer it would load your main .jar. However if you click on the new option at the bottom it will allow you to go and select a DIFFERENT .jar file to run Minecraft off of. Simple!
Would it be possible to change the jar on the menu screen? Since the jar is being used I'm not sure, but it would be helpful, otherwise it's not a big improvement, if I have to close to change jar.
I am constantly switching jars for testing my own server, and playing others, I have 4 jars I use regularly.

What I'm saying is it doesn't load the default .jar until you click on single player or multiplayer. That's why I'm saying (now at least) that it's an extended launcher.

Well as long as I don't have to quit Minecraft, then it sounds good. If I have to close Minecraft in order to get to the .jar choice screen, then it entirely defeats the purpose. I was hoping for something where you can change the .jar like you change texture packs.
