Download Minecraft.jar

[Jesper Sahu]

Youmust open minecraft.jar in a program which can edit .zip files (such as 7-zip), then delete the META-INF folder as you would anything else. This should not require administrator privileges, as minecraft.jar resides inside your home folder, over which you have almost total control. On Windows, you can reach the correct folder by pressing Win+E (the Windows key is the one that looks like the Start menu) and typing %AppData%\.minecraft\bin in the text box at the top of the window which appears.

If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, you might ask someone with more computer experience to help you. A program or script could be written to do it for you, but that would require the installation of additional software on your computer (which typically does require administrator rights).

As a .jar file is just a .zip file under another name, and if you are using Windows, which can now open .zip files as if they were directories, you can just rename minecraft.jar to minecraft.zip. You can now delete META-INF without installing any further apps. After this, be sure to rename the .zip back to .jar.

Linux should also have native zip readers, depending on the distro, and the minecraft data directory is in your /home/[usr]/.minecraft directory, which may be hidden from your file explorer UI as it starts with a dot.
