The thing is, I found an index with launchers, but you want the actual /bin folder. I was told you can do the force update option, and it might revert back to 1_7_3

Force update won't revert any updates back to the previous update.

So, I heard that when they release the official version, they will allow people to download any build they choose. If the force update doesn't work, then I was wrongly informed. I did only hear that off of another forum post, and didn't get to test it myself.

EDIT: So, I think I found it. Thankfully, I have a mac at work^^ I verified that it does work (at least for single player) and I'm pretty sure it is a vanilla distro. However, at the time, I got the "bad login" error from trying to connect to a server. Not sure if MC servers are down or not. You can try though.

I uploaded the jar on mediafire for you. If you need it please PM me.

Please tell me if it works or not. As far as I know, it is 99% working^^ Unless there is some weird modification to the jar that won't allow you to connect to minerealm. Someone else please feel free to test this.

It does work, replacing the 1.8 jar file with the 1.7.3 jar reverts Minecraft back to 1.7.3. I tested it. I also connected to Minerealm without difficulty.

If anyone else is wondering, the other files of the bin folder are the base java files to run Minecraft. They do not get changed each update, only the Minecraft.jar. The "versions" file might be changed, but it is not necessary to have that to run Minecraft.

Also, Faeyn, please remove the link to download the jar file and send it to physaux directly in a message, as it is against MC's Terms and Conditions to share the jar files to the public. This is how people "torrent" the game (even though Notch doesn't really care lol).

Copy the bin from your old pc onto your mac

-.-

Thanks, I didn't think it would cause an issue since you need a username and password to be able to login; however, I removed the link.

Alright thanks guys, I got mine to work by reverting to an old backup of the folder through "time machine"
