Ok so I know that you can run the old snapshots for 1.8 if you have the .jar file and the .json file. I have the jar file but I have no idea where to get the son file. Anyone know?

Also, sorry if this is in the wrong section.

you can't select snapshots from 1.8 anymore

Its against the rules to obtain the files from the mojang site?

If they are on Mojang's site, then they are in the list.

Ok is it against the T&C to download the snapshot from the Mojang website?

Ok so that being the case, how do I get the son file/how do I get the snapshot to work.

No it is not. It's snapshot 14w02c. I just want any snapshot in 1.8 so I can run JL2579's Tree generator. It only works in the 1.8 snapshots.

Ok thanks just wondering.

Do you mean a copy of the snapshot json file or the actual jar? Cause the jar is on the website

The snapshots are still on Mojang's servers, just not listed in the launcher; here are the links to the jar and json for 14w02c:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/14w02c/14w02c.jar
http://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/14w02c/14w02c.json

I got those from this thread; the json files are not included for snapshots but you just have to change the version in the links:
