Today I've spent some time preparing my Mac OS X patch as a new Minecraft update will soon come. When it does you just use this OS X patch option 7. If the patch has been released yet it will download it and make it available for playing via option 1. However I'm not certain if the Minecraft update will break online play or not yet. As for now if it does, you must use the patch option 2 to connect to the Digiex server.
Those of you who are using Mac OS X can now
download that patch here. It is very simple to use, just extract from the zip and run the Minecraft file. It will do the rest for you. You may also place that file anywhere you wish!
Quick Update: I just added also uninstall and texture pack / mod support. To use the mod / texture pack support you must have a minecraft.jar file with the mod / texture pack applied. Thats very simple to do / get. Then you need to place those minecraft.jar files in /Library/Application Support/minecraft/patch_install/mods/ *THEY MUST* be named to go with the script.
Such as, if i had a modified Minecraft.jar with a HD texture pack which was beta version 1.1_02 then I would rename it to minecraft.beta.jar and make sure its placed within the mods folder.
If its an alpha mod / texture it must be named minecraft.alpha.jar
if its a newer beta version (higher than 1.1_02) then rename it to minecraft.beta.new.jar
This is allow you to load up those fancy texture pack mods / map mods while using this patch.
Those of you who don't know how to rename a file in mac you can do it from terminal will this command
mv "/DRAG/YOURE/FILE/IN/TO/GET/LOCATION/minecraft.jar" "/DRAG/YOURE/FILE/IN/TO/GET/LOCATION/minecraft.beta.jar"
