Installing Better than Adventure!

This page is in need of a rewrite.
You can help us by editing it.

So. You want to install a better version of Minecraft, not surprised. Well, you came to the right place.

Pick a version

If you want to start playing BTA, first you need a version. There are two types of release versions, Stable Versions, and Snapshots.

So many choices.

Stable Versions

Easiest to set up (mostly). Stable, working, and generally accessible Multiplayer. Fewer bugs compared to the snapshots, but any bugs that ARE present will not be fixed until the next snapshot/stable update. No Experimental Features.

Snapshots

Somewhat harder to set up. Multiplayer is generally disabled, if it is enabled then you have to host your own server. (See Setting up a Server). More buggy compared to the stable versions, but any bugs that ARE present are generally fixed in the next snapshot. Some/lots of Experimental Features.

Installation

Installing BTA on MultiMC (Easier).

To install BTA on MultiMC, you need the following:

First, you need MultiMC itself, you can download it here: MultiMC Official Site

Second, you'll need the mod itself:

If you choose to install a stable version, then simply look for where it says "MultiMC Instance" in the download links list. Click the link and the .zip file should be saved to your computer. Once you have the zipped file installed, open MultiMC.

Install Time

Select the "Add Instance" button and then select "Import from zip". Click "browse" and navigate to where the file you downloaded is on your computer.

There's that file.

Once you've selected your file, simply press "Okay" and MultiMC will set everything up for you.

A fresh Better Than Adventure instance, ready to be played.

Installing on BetaCraft Launcher (More Easier)

An alternative way of installing BTA is using the BetaCraft Launcher. The steps of installing are:

First, download the launcher at https://github.com/Moresteck/BetaCraft-Launcher-Java/releases (download the one that is named similarly to "launcher-1.09_16.exe")

Second, run the exe file

Third, click "Edit instance"

Forth, click "Mods repository"

Fifth, double click the "Better Than Adventure!" folder and load the version of your liking (preferably the latest one)

Sixth, click "Close" and then click "OK"

Everything should be set up for you to play after following steps.
