I have a technical issue here that will require me to re-install a number of things, including possibly MineCraft. How do I go about downloading it again but not being charged for it. Also, if I re-install it, will it erase everything on the multiplayer server I play on ?

I wanted to re-install it because over the past year I'd downloaded this mod or that mod, made this sub-folder, etc etc etc. I just wanted to start over with a whole new clean slate on my computer. I don't have any creative servers I play on. Only time I go there is to test an idea out on how to make something on my multiplayer server. So yeah, just wanted to clear out all the junk. My only worry is that I would lose all the stuff I have created on the multiplayer server I play on.

I updated to the 1.5 minecraft today but the problem is, my multiplayer server hasn't updated yet so I can't play it and I'm starting to get the shakes ...

I need to download and install the 1.4.7 jar file but I have no idea where to get it from. Also, I'm just no good at working with jar files and that kind of thing. I have no idea where to put it in my .minecraft folder or how to get it to replace the 1.5 I updated to earlier today Can anyone lead me by the hand thought this really scary tech maze lol ?

First of all, I am sorry that you hade to wait along time for a response. Hope I help!
