BetaEvolutions on Android-based devices. Under construction & slightly shabby. Slightly more friendly.

This is based on the guide hosted on Angel Aura Amethyst's wiki; we thank them for their work: https://wiki.angelauramc.dev/wiki/going_further/CUSTOM-MC.html
This section merely serves as a supplemnt to that guide, so please reference it when following this section.

• If you haven't already, get Angel Aura Amethyst and log into your account.
• PojavLauncher and the like will still work for this guide.
• Due to the way that Android stores files for certain apps, you need to use alternative file managers for easier management.
  • In place of MiXplorer, you can use Material Files; the latter will be used.
• For easier file management, it's recommended that you move the required files to your desktop/laptop computer.

1. In Amethyst, create a new profile by opening the profile menu at the bottom of the screen, then selecting Create new profile → CREATE VANILLA PROFILE → Select b1.7.3 as the version, and save.
2. Launch the game once, and quit.
3. Open Material Files, open the ☰ (hamburger menu) at the top left (or top-right in some locales) → + Add storage... → External storage, and inside of that file manager, re-select ☰ → Amethyst → USE THIS FOLDER and allow permission.
   • You will have a directory named "files" in ☰; tap and hold it to rename (if you wish).
4. Go to that directory → .minecraft → versions → duplicate the b1.7.3 folder and rename the copy to betaevo or similar, rename the files inside that directory in the same way, then move it to your Download folder.
   • You may need to refresh the file manager (tap and hold, then swipe downwards) to update the file names.
5. Connect your Android device to your desktop/laptop computer and move betaevo to a working directory (the desktop, for example); from here, you'll need to use switch to your desktop/laptop computer.

  Steps to add Amethyst's data folder to Material files and copy the b1.7.3 folder.

1. Download the BetaEvolutions client jar mod.
2. Edit the betaevo.json, and remove the part that has "downloads:{"client"...} (as seen in that guide)
3. Edit "id": "b1.7.3" to "id": "betaevo", and save.
4. Unpack the jar in that same folder, and unpack the BetaEvo client jar mod, then copy the contents of BetaEvo into that unpacked b1.7.3 folder, and overwrite.
5. Delete META-INF in that folder.
6. Select all the files in that folder, and compress them as a zip. (With something like 7-Zip).
7. Move the betaevo back to your Android device, re-open Material Files, move that folder into the Amethyst folder .minecraft → versions.
8. Re-open Amethyst, edit your instance, change the version to betaevo, launch and pray it works.
