Minecraft server updated to v1.8.1Slightly different install with this one. The MinecraftSP.exe is what you will use to launch MC now:1. Copy the "lastlogin" file from your "\_minecraft beta 1.X n00b edition\" folder into your .minecraft folder (in appdata/romaning). Easy way to find this folder is to launch your current MC, go into texture packs, and then "open texture packs folder".
2. Open up the zip file and you will see two files: MinecraftSP.exe & minecraft.jar.
3. Run MinecraftSP.exe, let it update, and then close it.
4*. Copy the minecraft.jar from the zip into \.minecraft\bin
5*. Run the MinecraftSP.exe launcher and play MC
*Steps 4 and 5 are for those using the custom texture packs. Minecraft v1.8.1 Beta Download --->
