Gamemode Switcher / Version Switcher
I made these for Windows users. Just copy and paste them to notepad, then save it as  or. For  you need to change line saying   to file location of your minecraft launcher exe. If you don't, minecraft won't launch through the shortcut.

Requirements
 * Windows operating system
 * Able to follow instructions

Instructions

For gamemode switcher to work, do following :
 * Create new world, with exact same name and seed and settings
 * Go to  folder
 * Go to world folder of your world name, the one with - sign after it's name
 * Rename  to   or   depending which gamemode world you just created is.
 * Move renamed file to orginal world folder, the one without - sign
 * Now you can create shortcut icon which switches the gamemode
 * Create new shortcut, when it asks what to run with shortcut, search the  where ever you placed it.
 * Name your shortcut freely
 * Right click shortcut for properties
 * Change work directory (windows 7 says "Start in:") to folder of your world (example  replace [your user name] with your actual user name, remove [] signs).
 * Done! You can now double click the shortcut to change gamemode. But do not do so if minecraft is running and mc version is before 1.1, version 1.1 and after it's fine if you leave to main menu (menu with buttons singleplayer, multiplayer, texturepacks, etc... )

For version changer to work, do following :
 * Create many versions of  as you like (file in  ).
 * Rename them as, replace [your id here] with id you like to give that version (example  ) and place them same folder as the original jar
 * Now you can create shortcut icon which switches minecraft version
 * Create new shortcut, when it asks what to run with shortcut, search the  where ever you placed it.
 * Name your shortcut freely
 * Right click shortcut for properties
 * Change work directory (windows 7 says "Start in:") to bin folder of minecraft (example  replace [your user name] with your actual user name, remove [] signs).
 * Add your id to shortcut target (windows 7 says "Target:") (example: )
 * Done! You can now use that shortcut to start that version of minecraft. But running minecraft using the shortcut will delete your  in bin directory, so keep a backup. Also always close minecraft before running new one.

Then you might ask how you echo        know then wich is wich. Simple, world you echo        created later has "-" sign after it's folder echo        name if you have only two worlds with same name. set cba1_gamemode=unknown goto end

Update for 1.3.x...
Update for future minecraft version 1.3.x, hopefully works when it's official. Copy and paste to notepad, then save it as. I also have gamemode changer for that version, but I didn't feel it was necessary to post it, because of new feature cheats. Remember to change  location of your copy.

 * Add your id to shortcut target (windows 7 says "Target:") (example: )
 * Done! You can now use that shortcut to start that version of minecraft. But running minecraft using the shortcut will delete your  in bin directory and   in server directory, so keep a backup. Also always close minecraft before running new one.
 * Did you remember to change  from  ?

Add program?
Can I just add programs to this list? DaedalusYoung (talk) 17:01, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Minecraft Structure Planner
It was previously mentioned in the description field that this program is under active development. Upon research no evidence of further development of this app has been located and the last forum post by the developer was three years ago. A post in a different forum by the developer related to a website hack occurrence was made two years ago. Reported bugs/problems with the app have apparently not been addressed and nothing indicates this app is under active development. The assumption is that at present this app is an abandoned project and I removed mention of this app being under active development. Daltxn (talk) 20:28, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
