i decided to document this.

i have documented some of how i did previous n00b ed itions but this one will be start to finish. maybe ill post on thissitedown and wbb tried new launcher. could not login. minecraft.net seemed to be down minecraft.net came back up later. tried the inbrowser applet. worked. let it dow nload minecraft update beta 1.3_01 noticed new lighting, new logo, name save files, etc ideas for n00b edition: modify and build as applet then make custom launcher to load said applet. i always want to make my own launcher but am always too lazy. probably will just use existing launcher from my prev versions applet url: https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/launcher/MinecraftLaunche r.jar?v=1298470263000 why the ?v=... ?? maybe not important. left it there anyway. doubt it matters java decompiler: http://java.decompiler.free.fr/?q=jdgui decompiled minecraft launcher. looks like applet and launcher are one in the sam e. cool. has main method and extends applet still cant log in from launcher. only from applet. my problem? minecrafts proble m? does not matter- have minecraft files C:\Users\Matthew\AppData\Roaming\.minec raft\bin (i did delete old files before starting) looks same as previous versions. no big difference. GameUpdater has links to all the files. i redownload them without minecraft to p revent it from tagging my account name or anything http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/windows_natives.jar.lzma http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/linux_natives.jar.lzma http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/macosx_natives.jar.lzma http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/solaris_natives.jar.lzma http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/windows_natives.jar http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/linux_natives.jar http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/macosx_natives.jar http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/solaris_natives.jar http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/lwjgl.jar http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/jinput.jar http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/lwjgl_util.jar http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/minecraft.jar when the GameUpdater downloads minecraft.jar, it passes it more info about login . but you can download it without passing it anything (notch not impliment yet?) decompile minecraft.jar too many files, very hard to search. cat all to one file cat *.java > mcall notice: class kb string http://www.minecraft.net/game/joinserver.jsp?user= needs to be replaced to something i can control so can work online. needs to rep ly "ok" to everything class sy and cc (why in two classes?) string http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftSkins/ needs to be replaced to thissitedown so works with custom skins class eh string Minecraft Beta 1.3_01 needs to be replaced to add n00b edition branding string Copyright Mojang AB. Do not distribute. needs to be replaced because well... ditto strings like Happy birthday, Notch! need to be replaced class qf string Minecraft Beta 1.3_01 it sppears twice. it looks like with coordinates to paint on screen. replace the m to nothing that it? does not look like much.... use minecraft.jar in rar to extract files, edit them externally, and archive the m back

delete all crap but MANIFEST.MF from META-INF edit MANIFEST.MF to remove SHA1-Diges of each file (because i will edit some, an d dont want to re-calculate it) edit splashes.txt in title. replace all stupid messages to just n00b edition for branding use java class editor http://classeditor.sourceforge.net/ to edit strings in cla s files done the edits noted in notice created files on server to match with changes in classes test... wow! works perfectly! i decided not to make a new launcher. so i just editted the 1.2 launcher to laun ch 1.3 and changed update number to +1. repoint everything to 1.3 dir upload bin files rar it up and post on wbb! enjoy!
