I was screwing around with some modding, which I had never done, inside the 1.6.4 folder and 1.6.4.jar, and of course, I deleted META-INF to get the mod working. Half an hour later, I had a ruined 1.6.4.jar missing META-INF, no bin folder, and even if I restored the 1.6.4 in versions, I can't access my single-player worlds or resource packs. I even needed to fix my controls, video settings, and my list of servers.
My mom said that even if she did System Restore, it wouldn't do a thing.
PLEASE HELP I FEEL REALLY WORRIED AND I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT ANYMORE!
(Any feedback[even if you say my mom is wrong] would be AMAZING!
For one, that is correct - System Restore is useless.
I would hate to break it to you, but from the information you have given, nothing is wrong.
The new Minecraft Launcher alongside Minecraft versions 1.6+ completely changes the way the game stores it's data.
There is no more 'bin' folder, it has been replaced with many, more organized folders.
The JARs are stored in versions/<version>/<version>.[jar | json] .
If you simply change '1.6.4.jar', it will not do anything for a number of reasons:
If you edit a default version, it will reset the next time you start the Launcher.
If you edit a JAR and not update the JSON, it will cause the game to ignore the version, and skip it.
I know you have no idea what I'm saying, so the point is, the launcher will reset the JARs to default if they are broken, unless you manually made them.
If you want to see a guide on how to install modifications on the new launcher, see this topic, or youtube video.
Anyhow, you can reset your game to default by following these instructions:
You may need to reinstall the locally installed files that Minecraft puts into place.
To do so, press your Windows+R keys, type in %AppData% at the dialog, and press Enter. In the window that appears, open the .minecraft directory, and delete everything except for the saves directory that you see therein. Then, try running Minecraft again.
