1. Backups.
2. Backups.
3. Seriously! I even got old 1.6er vanilla jars sitting around.
4. There's a tool called MCNostalgia, capable of reverting jars back to older dates.
5. Minecraft Version Changer: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/746856-m…ly-easy-to-use/
This is the simplest way, how to you downgrade minecraft if you don't have backup.
8D! ((Alblaka responded to me, yay!))
...XD I died laughing on that. I'll start backing up today! ...There we go; 1.2.3 is stored. Thanks for the advice! And the links. 
Since Forge looks stable, im just waiting for ic2 and redpower

Ditto. Plus Buildcraft for me.
After MCNostalgia, some deleting and repeating, some swearing over the META-INF folder, and a good several attempts at getting the right MCForge build...
I'm no longer worried overmuch about the 1.2.3 update.
Huzzah!
Now to look into Metallurgy... 
Thanks for the help!

Was lurking here and registered just to tell you that Buildcraft already a 1.2.3, not sure if it's some sort of beta or a actual full release, but i'm using it and it seems to work fine.
Besides that i'm on the same situation as you, if you are the kind of person that will just not play until it's all 1.2 compatible i recommend you do like me. Go do other stuff, play other games (i'm taking the time to play Mass Effect 3, very good game) and just come back from time to time to see how it's going.

It's a beta crowd-sourced by SirSengir, one of the new maintainers of Buildcraft alongside Krapht as well.

You just described me :p If IC2 and RP didn't alter world generation, I'd start playing now and just do other stuff, but I really don't wanna start all over again because of the world gen. I don't even know if it's possible, but it'd be awesome if mods could release like a world-gen version of mods, that just takes care of the world generation, so you can start mining etc.

I think that there is no point in making this, the work they would have to put on it they could put on improving the mod. You just need a little patience. It's not that hard.
Eloraam is working on porting RP2. I finally got around to set up a coding environment and fix some bugs.

Good to hear Richard. We look forward to the release with baited breath.
Hoping its out in the next week, people on my server got to mad about staying on 1.1 and one guy couldn't downgrade to 1.1 so his anger was worse, they blew up everything then said they quit until I could get the mods on 1.2 
so they would rather have all thier preciouse mod equipment get deleted in the new map format than keep with the status quo? sounds like trolls and preteens to me(preteens with tnt now that is scary 
)

Wow, bunch of idiots there. Sounds like you should just not let them back on if they're going to do stupid stuff/griefing like that. "Gimme! Gimme! NOW!!" self-entitled idiots.
spare a thought for us bukkit users
we have to wait for :
1) a rb of minecraft 1.2.3 (no one seems to want to port to the beta build)
2) modloader modloadermp forge to be ported (they are all 1.2.3 already)
3) mods to be updated to 1.2.3 (so far ic2/froestry/redpower are the sticking points for us as they all add terrain gen stuff)
4) said mods to be ported
1.2.3 came out, our server population went to 3 or 4 online if your lucky peak time im now on holiday too lol
im using the down time to
a) whitelisted creative server for players to build us a new spawn and server town
b) play mass effect3
c) tweak some bugs in the server code we use and look at new plugins
d) streamline our procedures
e) play some of the single player only mods and wish we could have them (have you tried version 3 of build craft....pure awsome) or the zepplin mod? sooo cool.
....tbh though ...i just want to play minecraft on our server again lol lets hope notch stops with the major changes! (thouigh at some point he actualy needs to add the 4096 block id limit)

You seem to be so involved with Minecraft and yet you don't know Notch is no longer the main developer of Minecraft. It's Jeb who's doing all the main work now.

i have been running a minecraft server since the hmod days, i keep forgetting its not notch but jeb, though im sure notch still has a hand in it, lets face it if you created a game of this magnitude could you walk away from it?

Yes, a little information please. How goes the fight with the code?
MLMP has a bug where ore generation doesn't work server-side. SDK or Forge has to fix it, cpw already sent Forge a patch to fix it and it's to be approved.
