How to join

⚠️ 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.

---

1. Install either of the aforementioned launchers (MultiMC or PrismLauncher or what have you)
2. 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.
3. Select Add Instance, and select b1.1_02 as the version by enabling Betas and scroll through the list until you see it. Change the details to your liking and select OK.
4. 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.
5. 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.
   • Under MS Windows, use javaw.exe instead.
6. 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.

1. Select the Settings tab, found in the bottom left corner.
2. In the Enable Show Historical versions of Minecraft: Java Edition in the Launcher under Minecraft: Java Edition Settings in the General tab.
3. Go back to the Minecraft: Java Edition tab on the sidebar, open the Installations tab and then select New Installation.
4. Enter the desired name of the install, and then select old_beta 1.1_02 in the version dropdown menu, then select Create.
5. 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.
