How to switch back to 1.6 to play on our server

[staticfactory]

While we wait for our plugins/mods to be updated to 1.7, the server will continue to run version 1.6.

If you try to connect and you get an "Outdated Server" error message, the following steps will help you connect:

WINDOWS Users:

1) Exit Minecraft completely.
2) Download the 1.6 Minecraft.jar file HERE
3) Go to START > RUN > type %APPDATA% > Click OK.
4) Navigate to the .minecraft\bin folder. (roaming\.minecraft\bin for XP users)
5) Rename minecraft.jar to minecraft1-7.jar
6) Move the minecraft.jar file you downloaded in step 2 to this folder.
7) Launch Minecraft (say NO to any update prompts).

MAC USERS:

1) Exit Minecraft completely.
2) Download the 1.6 Minecraft.jar file HERE
3) Go to: Your Hard Drive > Users > (your user file) > Library > Application Support > minecraft > bin >
4) Rename minecraft.jar to minecraft1-7.jar
5) Move the minecraft.jar file you downloaded in step 2 to this folder.
6) Launch Minecraft (say NO to any update prompts).

Help! I think I must have messed up somewhere when trying roll back, because when I run Minecraft it freezzes at a " done loading" screen. Does anyone know what happened/or how to fix it?

When you download it, it is saved as a .zip file. When you save it the extention must be .jar. You may have to redownload the file to do this. I think to save it as .jar enter the name as "minecraft.jar". Hope this helps!
