Disclaimers

• Due to BetaEvolution editing a lot of stuff, it is highly recommended that you do not use other mods whilst using it. (Language file edits, terrain edits and so on, are compatible, so long as BetaEvolutions doesn't conflict with it)
• This guide is written with MultiMC & its forks in mind; while you can install BetaEvolutions on other launcher other than the official one, support may not be provided.
• Make a ticket on the Discord guild if you're encountering issues.
• In the event you encounter an error related to Discord RPC & if the game shows up with broken colors, please reference the BetaEvolutions/Apple Silicon Mac install guide.

2. Get either MultiMC or PrismLauncher or your preferred fork.
3. Get a build of the JRE for your computer's architecture and OS
   • You can use the OpenJDK builds from either of these vendors:
   • Azul Zulu: https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-8-lts&package=jre#zulu

5. Select Add Instance, and select b1.7.3 as the version by enabling Betas and scroll through the list until you see it. Change the details to your liking and select OK.
6. Right-click (or left-click; open context menu) the newly created instance, and select Edit, or select the same button on the sidebar after selecting the aforementioned instance.

   • Don't use the Mods tab for this! (Not unless a mod loader is used.)
8. Go to: Settings -> Tick Java installation -> Auto-detect if you installed the JRE system wide.
   • If you downloaded the zip/tar archive, you simply extract it, select Browse in the instance settings, navigate to the extracted JRE -> bin/java and select that java file.
