open the bin folder
Inside you'll see a minecraft.jar file along with others that have versions numbers
copy the pre-release jar into this folder and replace the one that is in there when it asks
If you want to return to the current release you can force update from the launcher or just copy the .minecraft folder you backed up before to it's original location.

[QUOTE]Listing of new features in the 1.9 prerelease. So far:
Nether specific:
Nether blocks: Nether brick, Nether Fence, Nether Stairs [url]http://i.imgur.com/lswAA.png[/url]
Nether brick is flammable, it will stay on fire regular than a regular stone block but not indefinitely like Netherrack. Nether fences cannot be lit on fire.
Nether Terrain Features: Strongholds & bridges of Nether brick (can be MASSIVE complexes) [url]http://i.imgur.com/DMso1.jpg[/url]
Blazeman- Nether mob, A sort of Fire Elemental that comes from spawners and shoots fireballs [url]http://i.imgur.com/U94ZX.jpg[/url]
Magma Cube- Nether mob, look like a slime but upon jump they uncoil like a spring. They also will split apart into smaller versions of themselves when hit like slimes. [url]http://imgur.com/a/xYgp9[/url]
Nether items: Blaze Rod (dropped by new mob), Nether Wart (new crop) , Ghast Tear, Gold Nuggets (dropped by zombie pigmen)(put 9 of them together to craft into a gold bar)
Farm-able Nether crop (Nether Warts), only plantable on soul sand.
Ghast fireballs do not damage new Nether materials. (might be bug?)
Other features:
Swamps: darker colored water and lily pads [url]http://imgur.com/tRSB4.png[/url] [url]http://mc.jarryd.net/prettynewswamps.png[/url]
NPCs in villages, one main model with different colors for different "jobs." Pics here: [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/knx1o/minecraft_19_pre_out/c2lrg2m[/url]
Red flowers and Snow Biomes are back!
Mushroom Biome! purple tinted grass and large mushrooms growing
"Mooshroom" cows appear in Mushroom biome, can be sheared to get mushrooms and then turn into regular cows
Snow "Golem"- can be crafted by placing two snow blocks vertically on the ground, and then placing a pumpkin head on top of them. NOTE: They are crafted by block placement not a crafting square! [url]http://i.imgur.com/Vx4OW.jpg[/url] [url]http://mc.jarryd.net/littlebabbysnowman.png[/url]
Rain is re-textured.
Water and Lava leak through adjacent blocks. [url]http://i.imgur.com/KQL09.png[/url]
Chests now make no sound at all.
Holding space no longer allows sustained jumping; must tap jump key for each jump.
When flowing lava falls on top of water, smoothstone is created. When flowing water hits flowing lava, cobblestone is created
Bug Related:
FIXED- Stair lighting issues
Experience bar changes every time the player jumps (Jeb tweeted that it's not a bug, it "is to test SMP exp orbs... ;)"
Swamp water and regular water appearing side by side for bad visuals. [url]http://imgur.com/tRSB4.png[/url] (left side)
Reports of a lot of players having major FPS problems. Lag spikes of death are not yet defeated :(
Bow appears to have extra-long melee range?
Swamp Grass blocks have improper grass coloring on their sides.
Shearing "Mooshroom" cows gives the "getting wood" achievement
Shift clicking items when you craft doesn't add anything to your stats
Preexisting light sources (lave, flaming netherrack, etc) might not give off light properly.
Add in the comments any other new discoveries!
