About the beta

What to expect

• Updates come often. The launcher installs them by itself when it starts, so you're always on the newest version. Servers update themselves too.
• Your worlds carry over from one update to the next. Still, back up a world you'd hate to lose: it's a folder in the launcher's Installations.
• Things will break now and then. When they do, telling us is the most useful thing you can do (see below).

Not finished yet

• Minecraft mods: their blocks, items, recipes, ores and creatures come over; their crops, blocks, items, machines and menus work as you use them, their creatures keep their own numbers and habits, and Create's machines need rotation. Not yet: a mod's own cooking and crafting logic exactly as written, creatures' full behaviour, and new dimensions. Some big mods (Create, Biomes O' Plenty) only partly load.
• Mac: a new version can reach Mac a little later than Windows and Linux.
• The first install shows a warning on Windows ("Windows protected your PC": More info → Run anyway) and on Mac (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway). That's only the first time.

Tell us what you find

1. In the launcher, press Report a problem. Say what you were doing and what went wrong. Leave the box ticked: it adds the game's log and your computer's details, which helps a lot.
2. Or email [email protected], with a screenshot if you can.
