ℹ️ Notice: A development version of BetaEvolutions no longer needs this method - see BetaEvolutions for more info. This page is kept for the release version.
Due to BetaEvolutions' Discord RPC library not having a macOS arm64 version, a workaround via an x86-64 Java runtime environment has to be used.
⚠️ Disclaimers:
- This guide is written with MultiMC & its forks in mind; it also assumes you have already created a Beta 1.7.3 instance.
- Your mileage may vary; please do not bug the volunteer staff regarding this.
- Exception: You may contact Noggisoggi for help regarding this on the Discord server as he's the only one on the staff list with an Apple Silicon Mac.
- Some basic computing knowledge, such as extracting files, moving, copying, etc. are mandatory.
- This tutorial relies on the Rosetta 2 translation layer; should Apple remove this in a future macOS update, this tutorial will not work.
Noggisoggi made a video tutorial for this, with the Azul Zulu OpenJDK build:
- Get an x86-64 build of the JRE for macOS
- You can use the OpenJDK builds from either of these vendors:
- Azul Zulu: https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-8-lts&os=macos&architecture=x86-64-bit&package=jre#zulu & download the zip/tar archive.
- There's no option to install this system-wide.
- Adoptium Eclipse Temurin: https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=8
- Select
macOSfor the Operating System x64for Architecture, andJREfor Package Type.
- Select
- If you want to install it system-wide, download the
.pkgfile. - If you want a portable install, download the
.tar.gzfile.
- This step will vary depending on what variant you downloaded:
- Open your downloads folder and:
- Extract the
.tar.gz/.ziparchive if you downloaded it. - Install the x86-64 JRE from the
.pkgfile.
- Extract the
- Open your downloads folder and:
- Open your launcher; PrismLauncher or MultiMC in this case.
- Only for portable Java installs; skip to step 4 if you're using a system-wide install:
- Select your instance of Beta 1.7.3, select Instance Folder or similar.
- Your b1.7.3 instance folder should open.
- If not: open the Finder, select View on the menu bar, then select: Go to Folder... & input one of these paths depending on your launcher:
- PrismLauncher:
~/Library/Application Support/PrismLauncher/instances - MultiMC:
/Applications/MultiMC.app/Data/instances- You need to open the context menu (
[Right Click],[Ctrl]+[Left Click]) onMultiMC.app& select Show Contents.
- You need to open the context menu (
- PrismLauncher:
- Press
[Return]or[Enter]& go to your b1.7.3 instance.
- If not: open the Finder, select View on the menu bar, then select: Go to Folder... & input one of these paths depending on your launcher:
- Copy that JRE you extracted directly into the instance folder.
- Only for portable Java installs; skip to step 4 if you're using a system-wide install:
- In MultiMC/PrismLauncher, select your b1.7.3 once more & select Edit Instance
- Select: Settings -> Java installation -> Enable (tick) Java installation
- System-wide installs:
- Select Auto-detect & select the one with:
- Version:
1.8.0_372 - Architecture:
x86_64 - Path:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-8.jre/Contents/Home/bin/java
- Version:
- If the auto-detect method doesn't work for some reason, you can use the aforementioned path as the Java path.
- Select Auto-detect & select the one with:
- Portable installs:
- Method 1:
- Select Browse.
- A file picker should pop-up; head to
instances-> your b1.7.3 instance -> the JRE you extracted ->bin/java.
- Method 1:
- Method 2:

- Head to
instances-> your b1.7.3 instance -> the JRE you extracted ->Contents/Home/bin/java. - Select the
javabinary.- Press
