MCPatcher is a bytecode-level patcher for Minecraft. The main use right now is changing the hard-coded texture sizes, but it is eventually intended to apply arbitrary patches.
Features:
- Better Glass! More transparency options for glass textures.
- Better Skies. Add your own textures to the day and night skies. Many options for fading and blending.
- Custom Colors mod. Texture pack authors can now customize many colors in the game including swamps, lighting, and more. See Misa’s texture pack for examples.
- HD texture pack and font support.
- Custom terrain and item animations for any tile, including water, lava, and portals.
- MrMessiah’s BetterGrass mod.
- Balthichou’s RandomMobs mod.
- Connected Textures mod.
- Ability to load other mods like ModLoader. See “Installing other Mods” for details.
- Ability to save and load mod profiles and switch between them easily. Also organize your mods by the Minecraft version they go with.
Notes and Recent Changes:
- Brighter, less muddy-looking fireworks.
- Custom compass needle.
- Mipmapping.
- Biome- and height-specific Random Mobs with weighted randoms.
Basic Instructions (Installation):
- Download the correct version of the patcher for your OS.
- Double-click the patcher. You should see this:
- If you would like Better Grass (full grass texture on the sides of grass blocks next to other grass blocks), check the box next to Better Grass.
- Click Patch. You do not need to select a texture pack at this point.
Start the game. - Click Mods and Texture Packs.
- Click Open Texture Packs folder. If nothing happens, just go to the texturepacks folder in .minecraft instead.
- Copy all your texture packs into that folder.
- Enjoy switching between texture packs without repatching the game!

Changes in beta4:
- New CTM format as described here. The easiest thing to do is run your old (1.4.7) texture pack using the converter again. However, if you have made changes to your pack in the beta3 format and need to keep them, you can convert manually by moving each /ctm/xxx.properties file into the /ctm/xxx/ folder. (There should be nothing but folders directly under /ctm.)
- Fixed rendering bug with ender and single chests.
- Fixed CTM orientation so that quartz columns connect properly using method=vertical. Log blocks should be unaffected by this, but check and make sure.
- Some fixes for folder-based texture packs.
- Output .properties using native line endings so that Notepad can display them correctly.
- Prevent potential NullPointerExceptions when running the converter.
