Well, we couldn't get enough people so I am not doing the league. It's a sad day for Minecraft fantasy football players everywhere.

Hello folks, its me gold!
how you may have heard, iam looking for 3 brave explorers for a challenge!
you have to beat me, kiwi and ma3ta in a adventure map that takes about 4-5 hours?!
u maybe want to use skype!?
if u are ready for the challenge mail me, or just write in the comments.
the 3 fastest will be chosen!!!

Ok. We have 4 people including me. Even though that is technically enough. I don't want to do a league with 4 people. So if you said you were going to do it, please do or if you want to join, please give me your e-mail. If I can't get 6 people. I won't do this.

I am guessing the server is down not sure so i am asking.

also here is 1.7.3 for mac bin

Ok, for those of you EVIL BASTARDS... who are using macs to play minecraft and don't know how to back up the 1.73 file, I may have the answer. Bare in mind, though, this may only work Snow Leopard and you have to make sure that you haven't updated to 1.8 yet. This might work on Lion but I don't have Lion so I can't test it. Here are the steps

1) Go into Finder

2) In the left column, click the button under "Desktop". This button should be what you named your computer when you first got it

3) Open the "Library" folder

4) Open the "Application support" folder

5) Copy the "minecraft" folder

6) Paste the "minecraft" folder on your desktop

Now feel free to update your client and, when you want to switch back to 1.7 either to get on the server or just to remind your self of the days when cows didn't run away when you hit them with a sword, just go through steps 1 through 4 and replace the 1.8 folder with 1.7.
