Title: 1.8 is out
Post by: optical on September 14, 2011, 10:53:14 am
If you wish to play on our current server, do NOT update to 1.8.

It will most likely take a week or so to upgrade to 1.8. Until then the 1.7.3 server will remain up.

If you update, you'll have to play singleplayer till the servers all catch up

It's funny I thought I had updated my beta to 1.8 on my desktop by mistake but I still have 1.7.3.  I can try and post this "minecraft.jar" file for those who need it (unless its against the rules).  I'll try to do it in 3hrs after I get out of my physics class.  Can someone tell me what files exactly I need to post and where they're located?

Type %appdata% in your start menu. Click on the 1 folder that comes up. Then go to .minecraft
Click on the "bin" folder.
Minecraft.jar is there.

Heh I bet you're using windows vista or 7, I have XP but I managed to figure it out.  Here's the link for people who still need the 1.7.3 minecraft.jar http://www.mediafire.com/?rbcy9xdmbe2s90y

Edit: File no longer available

But I thought it was ok to create "back-ups" of games and as long as you owned/bought that game it's ok to use the "back-up" of that game from someone else. 

Kinda like roms as long as you own the game, you can download its rom legally.

Yes, you can create backups, but you are not allow to distribute them.
