MultiMc is an open-source alternative launcher for Minecraft. It allows a user to have multiple, cleanly separated instances of Minecraft with independent mods and resources. MultiMC can be downloaded here.

To install any version, there are two options: a manually made instance or the auto-updater.

1. To install the auto-updater, download the BTA updater (a .zip file).

2. Select "Add Instance" in MultiMC.

3. Select "Import From Zip", then select the BTA updater .zip file. Upon launching this instance, it will create a the new playable instance titled "Better than Adventure! (Managed)".

For a manual instance that does not auto update, download the desired release (a .zip file or a .jar file).

For a .zip file, repeat the steps for the auto-updater with the desired instance .zip.

For a .jar file, create a vanilla instance of Beta 1.7.3. Select "Edit Instance," navigate to "Loader Mods," select "Add," and import the previously downloaded .jar file.
