Thanks! I've been looking to install some Beta mods and the newer launcher just doesn't work with mods before 1.0.0. I don't know why. But this really helped! Now I can make the mod-pack of my dreams!

In order to manually install mods with the current launcher (this goes for Forge mods as well, when Forge did not have an installer, and Optifine) you have to rename the version you are modding, e.g. from 1.9 to 1.9_mods, including the folder, jar, json, and the "id" inside the json - as well as remove the "downloads" section from the end of the json file; otherwise, the steps should be the same.
The Wiki has more detailed steps, although simply renaming the jar to zip and extracting it with Windows's built-in zip utility will not work for many older jars, since they have a file named "aux.class", which is an illegal filename (I use WinRar to mod the jar), and they do not mention the need to delete the "downloads" section from the json file, which was added a few weeks ago and causes the launcher to redownload the jar even if it has been renamed:
Hi!
Do anyone happen to have the old Minecraft Alpha launcher?
This is how it looked like:
The only launcher I found that looked like this was AnjoCaido's Cracked Launcher, but I dont want a cracked launcher.
UPDATE:
I found it, you can get it if you want:
Go to this archived webpage from Archive.org: Minecraft 2010 and click download .EXE

Why do you need the old launcher when you could just click Edit Profile, then click enable beta, alpha, click use version and scroll down?
Two words: Nostalgia Value

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?
I'd rather just use an old launcher,
