Another bump, to note that we will NOT be updating to 1.8 until ALL of the mods are updated.
Thus, I expect a somewhat lengthy wait while everything is sorted.
PhoenixTerrain is dead, and so will not make a return when we do update.
We will require a new map at that time, because IDs will need to be redistributed, the new content will be some 1000 blocks away from anything, and there will be
horrible chunk seams between old/new.
To play on Jaycraft between the release of 1.8 and our own update, you will need to maintain a 1.7.3 JAR with the mods.
To do so, make sure you have the launcher with the update text display, as the old one will NOT allow you to play an outdated JAR.
I don't know how anyone would still have that fossil, but...
If you still want to play 1.8 too, you must have two copies of the JAR.
There are several ways to accomplish this:
1) Of course, simply backing up both sets of JARs and copying as needed.
2) You can use a batch file to temporarily change the game's 'installation' directory.
Copy your .minecraft folder twice, in two separate locations. One for 1.8, one for Jaycraft.
Make two batch files in the directory containing your launcher. One for 1.8, one for Jaycraft.
setlocal
set APPDATA=PATH/TO/DIRECTORY/CONTAINING/.minecraft
Minecraft.exe
endlocal
IMPORTANT: That, as it mentions, points to the directory CONTAINING .minecraft, not the .minecraft directory itself!
ASIDE: Note that that %APPDATA% variable also works for instantly getting to the location of the standard .minecraft directory.
Just type it into any explorer window address bar.
3) "Michael Joseph" (I think he's a goon, but I'm not sure) made a GUI for the above.
It creates named 'profiles', which are just containers for the .minecraft folder, as above.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2941534/Jaycraft/MinecraftProfileManager.zip4) Minecraft Portable creates standalone copies of the .minecraft folder as well.
This one is either slightly more or slightly less convenient than the other options, depending on your mood.
It simply creates an "mcp_data" directory where it's located, which then contains the .minecraft folder, so you have to then have each copy of the executable separated by a folder as well, which makes for a somewhat unnecessarily large directory tree.
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/37311-/ (Note that it says it's compatible with 1.7.3; that's a bit of a mislabel, as it, as well, is just a wrapper for the same basic idea above, and thus fully version-independent.)
