Finally something that worked! Will this forever be a problem or do you think that when Minecraft updates that they will update these.... things.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
NP! This will be a problem as long as Mojang Specifications doesn't include an updated version of lwgl with Minecraft.

After the update I had to delete my .minecraft (backed up saves) and had to do this all over again.
I was getting the black screens again.
Indeed. Every minecraft update re-downloads ALL files in the .minecraft/bin directory, thus eradicating the fix. A solution would be to have a directory outside with the files ready to go, and a quick bash script that you can run each time you redownload an update so getting back into MC isn't as painful. I'm thinking like:
[*:1osm6e25]Extract lwgl files to a directory like ~/minecraft-engine. NoviceTip: in command line the tilde character ~ is a shortcut for the currently logged in user's home directory. Usually /home/[username]. So making a directory called ~/minecraft-engine would in reality mean create /home/[username]/lwgl
[*:1osm6e25] Make a text file on your desktop or whereever you can have easy access when you need to overwrite the game engine called 'fixminecraft.sh' or whatever the hell you want to call it (name doesn't matter) and copy/paste the following into the file:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Fixing minecraft engine! ACTIVATE LE FIX"
cp -fv ~/minecraft-engine/jar/{jinput.jar,lwjgl.jar,lwjgl_util.jar} ~/.minecraft/bin/
cp -fv ~/minecraft-engine/native/linux/* ~/.minecraft/bin/natives/
read -p "might be fixed now! Who knows? Go test it out! Type any character and hit enter to quit: "
Save and quit.
[*:1osm6e25]Then open a terminal and run:
chmod +x ~/Desktop/fixminecraft.sh
to make it executable
[*:1osm6e25]CONGRATULATIONS you should now have an easy script that quickly fixes Minecraft after an update. (Hopefully)

Does this happen to work with any other types of comptuer? Such as Windows 7? I'm looking for a solution everywhere...
It can't hurt to try. Since it's java you can actually use the same download that linux would use except instead your minecraft folder is located in %APPDATA%\.minecraft\ (just hit windows key +R and copy paste that thing into it and hit run... it will open the minecraft install directory. Also (very important), instead of copying the stuff out of /native/linux in the zip you would copy the .dlls out of /native/windows (or whatever its called.. the only windows-related directory in the /native directory!) and put them inside you .minecraft\bin\natives folder. This will effectively upgrade your windows engine version. If it doesnt work or something breaks, you can delete the .minecraft\bin directory and re-run minecraft.exe. It will re-download the default program files.
So if i change the settings like mentioned above, using my IP not an external IP, it should work right? I dont need to give anyone my external IP for them to connect?
and is my IP the IPv4 address in "ipconfig"?
My ip = the ipv4 address from ipconfig on your computer.
I'm not sure for minecraft classic (might just show up in the list... i havent played classic in a while) but in alpha you would need to give your friends the external ip that you get from http://whatismyip.org
yes. you probably haven't even downloaded the game yet. What you downloaded was the authenticator/game launcher/game updater. The actual game files aren't even on your computer yet.

In layman's terms: a hacker is being a jerk and making it so no one can get to minecraft.net

minecraft.net is getting hammered by a ddos attack.

there's nothing you can do unless the attack stops.
