Putting In Minecraft 2.0 In The Brand New Launcher

An incredible job by the Mojang workforce for an April Fools joke, and awesomely enjoyable to play at times when Minecraft 1.6.Four with the Dalek mod shouldn't be silly enough.
Word that 2.Zero is Mojang's version of an April Fools joke!
Now all of the tutorials on how to put in 2.0 are mostly for older versions (e.g. before minecraft 1.6.1), so i thought to myself: "how can i do that?"

In the future (i.g. Today) I experimented on downloading minecraft 1.5.1 in the new launcher and putting in 2.Zero in that directory. And it labored! so right here is how to do it:
Step 1
Start by downloading 2.0, as a result of it is not supported by Mojang it's free! :D But also for a similar motive, it is not on the Minecraft website. D:

Not to worry though, that is what YouTube is for!

In order for you the completely different variations here is the information for all of them. Like perhaps game servers want the tremendous hardcore mode!

Step 2
so now that you have downloaded it go to your launcher select "Edit Profile" and obtain 1.5.1.

Step 3
Now exit minecraft and get to your versions folder in .minecraft (please watch a video on YouTube if you don't know the way).
Copy the folder known as "1.5.1" (with out quotes) and call the copy "2.0" (with out quotes).

Step four
Open the 2.0 download zip file and put "minecraft.jar" into the brand new "2.0" folder (both with out quotes)

Step 5
Delete "1.5.1.jar"
Rename the recordsdata so that:
"minecraft.jar" becomes "2.0.jar"
and
"1.5.1.json" turns into "2.0.json"
(all with out quotes).

Step 6
Open "2.0.json" with notepad++

and edit line 2 like so:

"id": "2.0",

it should originally be:

"id": "1.5.1",

All you need to change is the numbers between the quotes. and depart the quotes this time!
Save and enjoy!
