⚠️ Disclaimer: Bedrock Edition cannot be used to join, and this guide is a W.I.P.
There are a couple of methods to join AlphaPlace. Server addresses are alphaplace.net and alpha.place.
You can use regular b1.1_02 to join, or you can use modded a1.2.6.
For the latter version,
Windows7Ultimate made a video guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVEXz7GcfAo
JRE links
The official launcher comes with a JRE.
For other launchers (or if you want to use a different Java binary), 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
- Adoptium Eclipse Temurin: https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=8
MultiMC/PrismLauncher/Other forks
- MultiMC: https://multimc.org
- PrismLauncher: https://prismlauncher.org
The above launchers require you have to have an account, though there are a couple of forks that allow you to add an offline account.
You can deviate at some parts of this guide if you want to use a different fix, or anything else.
- Install either of the aforementioned launchers (MultiMC or PrismLauncher or what have you)
- Launch MultiMC (or fork), set up your account by clicking on the account selector in the top right corner, select Manage Accounts..., and then select Add Microsoft.
- Or Add Offline if that option is available on the fork you use.
- Select Add Instance, and select
b1.1_02as the version by enabling Betas and scroll through the list until you see it. Change the details to your liking and select OK. - 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.
- 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/javaand select thatjavafile. - Under MS Windows, use
javaw.exeinstead.
- If you downloaded the zip/tar archive, you simply extract it, select Browse in the instance settings, navigate to the extracted JRE ->
- Launch the game via Launch and pray it works.
Official launcher
This method isn't recommended and is just a last resort. Cracked users can't use this method either.
By default, this launcher doesn't show old versions of the game before Release 1.0, and must be enabled in the settings.
- Select the Settings tab, found in the bottom left corner.
- In the Enable Show Historical versions of Minecraft: Java Edition in the Launcher under Minecraft: Java Edition Settings in the General tab.
- Go back to the Minecraft: Java Edition tab on the sidebar, open the Installations tab and then select New Installation.
- Enter the desired name of the install, and then select
old_beta 1.1_02in the version dropdown menu, then select Create. - Click on the Minecraft: Java Edition tab on the sidebar again and select the installation you just made from the drop down menu and press Play.
