Betacraft Launcher

This is a fanmade version 1.10 because I was tired of waiting. Betacraft launcher aims to provide easy access to old Minecraft versions and improve the overall game experience.

FEATURES:

  • Supports versions from Pre-Classic to 1.5.2:
    • skins & sound in versions that can handle them
    • starting Indev and early Infdev versions
    • mouse fix for Classic, Indev-Infdev versions on macOS
    • a1.1.1 gray screen fix
    • AMD clouds fix
    • fix for crash on Mojang screen before r1.3
    • multiplayer online-mode handling for pre-b1.8 versions
    • joining custom servers with the c0.0.15a version
    • resize game easily in versions that don't support resizing
    • can play every currently available legacy Minecraft version
  • Microsoft sign in
  • Mod repository, featuring great community mods
  • Server list:
    • servers with live playercount and description
    • join servers by clicking on them
    • automatically downloads the mod a server uses if it's in mod repository
  • Addons:
    • OfflineDATSave - allows for saving Classic levels on your disk (currently the only way to save in Classic)
    • Fullscreen - enables fullscreen mode for versions that don't officially have support for it
    • Demo - triggers demo mode for versions 12w16a and later
    • UnlicensedCopy - triggers Unlicensed Copy :( label for versions b1.6-tb3 to b1.7.3
    • QuitGame - shows the Quit Game button in versions b1.0 to 1.5.2
    • GameModeSwitch - switches to the opposite gamemode in versions c0.28_01 to inf-20100630-1835
    • ClassicNotPaid - displays Premium only! message when trying to save in any revision of c0.30
  • Discord RPC
  • Configurable:
    • JVM arguments
    • path to Java
    • instance directory
    • instance icon
    • starting resolution
  • Console output
  • BetaEvolutions support
  • Supports many languages

Supported platforms (v1):

  • Windows 7+ (32/64 bit)
  • any up-to-date Linux distro (64 bit)
  • macOS 10.8+

Note:

  • We target Java 7 (because Gson targets Java 7)
  • Silicon Macs have inverted blue/red colors, for now you can only bypass this by going fullscreen on v1 (if you get Betacraft v2, the issue is fixed there)
  • Earlier versions of Windows (like XP) may work, so long as the Java they run on can handle TLSv1.2 for official Microsoft/Mojang links. There's no guarantee the launcher is going to fully work on non-compliant Java. Earliest Java updates to support TLSv1.2 are 8u181 and 7u191
