I'm trying to mod Minecraft (specifically 1.6.4 with launcher 1.2.5) so I can even install mods.

I followed the tutorial on here, where I have to copy the version folder, rename it, and rename the jar and json (and edit json). I did all that.

I even tried just renaming the original 1.6.4 and files to see if it had to do with modifying the jar, which it didn't.

Then I loaded the launcher, and the version just does not show up on the list. How can I get it to show up on the list?


Specs:
OS X 10.9 DP8
Minecraft 1.6.4
Launcher 1.2.5

Edit: I noticed this in the dev console:
Ignoring: versions/1.6.4.360/1.6.4.360.json; it contains id: '“1.6.4.360”' expected '1.6.4.360'
Refreshing remote version list...

One of the renamed ones was 1.6.4.360 (For 360 support). Why is it ignoring them?

Had the same problem. When I saw this, I decided to remove the quotes from the id name. It worked.
So instead of: "1.6.4.360"
Try: 1.6.4.360
