Q16: "The game's colors are inverted (red is blue, blue is red), and the game crashes upon resizing!"
A: If you're on an Apple Silicon Macintosh (M1, M2, etc.) and running macOS, blame Apple for the bug. You can either use Betacraft v2 (a bit unstable), or:

  1. Create an a1.2.6/b1.1_02 instance on MultiMC, PrismLauncher, or any other fork. Deviate slightly from the guide if you wish.
  2. Install LaunchWrapper and LegacyFix (PrismLauncher, MultiMC).
  3. Launch the game and let it crash.
  4. Disable/remove LegacyFix and relaunch.

The game should boot with fixed colors and you should be able to resize the window without the game crashing.
Note that LaunchWrapper overrides your launcher's game resolution settings; to change it:

  1. Edit your instance, select LaunchWrapper, and select Edit.
  2. Scroll down until you see the minecraftArguments key, append --width <w> --height <y> to its value, and save.
    • <w> & <y> are placeholder values.

The game should launch with the resolution you set in that file. Q17: "What does "wb" mean?"
A: "Welcome back."

Q18: "How do I know when I first joined? (In reference to Q1)"
A:

  • In-game: /firstjoin <username> (Date format is DD-MM-YYYY).
  • Discord: Input <username> has into the search bar in the top right corner (on desktop clients) or by going into #ingame-chat, selecting the channel name on the top and then selecting Search (Mobile clients).

Q19: "How do I know my playtime?"
A: Via /playtime. Use /pttop to see the players with the most playtime.

  • /firstjoin Noggisoggi
