Does Minecraft re-obfuscate itself when being ran? #257

Well, I was messing around with de-obfuscated Minecraft and noticed that when the de-obfuscated jar is being ran, it re-obfuscates itself so there is nothing more than a bunch of files of name "bhz", "abc", etc... in that jar. Is it Minecraft who does it or JVM? (or, if both of my guesses are wrong, what exactly causes this transformation?)

Sorry for asking, it is me who lacks patience :) I just forgot to modify that .json file which lays in the exact same folder as my de-obfuscated Minecraft. Removed some entries in the "downloads" section and all went as planned.
