Workaround to install BetaEvolutions on Apple Silicon Macs

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.

Disclaimer:

  • 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.
    • Unless Noggisoggi is willing to help, then in which case, you may ask him for help on the discord.
  • Some advanced computing knowledge, such as extracting files, moving, copying, etc. are mandatory.
  1. Get an x86 build of the JRE for macOS
  2. Open your downloads folder & extract the archive.
  3. Open your launcher; PrismLauncher or MultiMC in this case.
  4. Select your instance of Beta 1.7.3, select Folder
    • Your b1.7.3 instance folder should open.
    • If not: open the Finder, select Go to Folder... & input this path:
    • PrismLauncher: ~/Library/Application Support/PrismLauncher/instances/
    • MultiMC: ~/Library/Application Support/MultiMC/instances/
    • Press [Return] or [Enter] & go to your b1.7.3 instance.
  5. Copy that JRE you extracted directly into the instance folder.
  6. Back in MultiMC/PrismLauncher, select your b1.7.3 once more & select Edit Instance
    • Select: Settings->Java installation->Browse
    • A file picker should pop-up; head to instances-> your b1.7.3 instance -> the JRE you extracted->bin->java
  7. Launch the game and pray it works.
