Today's quick tip: What i do to make the modding process shorter in case you have an epic fail with your mods.

first you will want to copy your executable jarfile named minecraft.jar in the bin located in your .minecraft file in your roaming file located in the start menu by searching %appdata%

next paste that sucker on your desktop and rename it Backup
Now you should have a backup jar with all of your working crap in it in case a mod crashes your minecraft
