Some Help with .jar files. Google Didn't help

I've downloaded a patcher for Minecraft. It's meant to change some elements in the game from SD to HD. Sadly, the patcher was corrupted and when I used it, the program messed up the game.
When I downloaded it a little over two hours ago, it DL'd as a simple .zip file, and as I unzipped it, it was a .jar that right as I clicked it, it ran. Now it only shows a .jar file, but in the form of the folder. Thus I can't run it.
If you're wondering why it changed now, is because my instinctive decision was to delete and redownload everything having to deal with MineCraft.
I'm on the latest Mac OSX update, and Java update by the way.
Thanks.

I have no clue how crazy mac works, but I'd guess its similar to linux.
So...
Open up a terminal, in Utilities - Terminal i think.
then do
"cd /home/YourName/Downloads(Or where ever you put it)" after you've typed the first letter or two of a path, hit tab and it will auto complete.
This changes the working directory to the folder your .jar is in.
then,
do "./File name here...jar" Type the ./ then the first letter or two and tap tab, and it should auto complete.
or maby "java file.jar" same thing for auto complete.
one of which should execute the jar file.
Minecrafts amazing btw.

I tried a few different things in terminal, and none of it worked. I'm a noob at this by the way.
