Day 38 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Minecraft 1.5)
(lemmy.world)
I had a long day and decided to take things easy, so i played some Minecraft. Here's the little house i built. I went with 1.5 because that was the version i grew up with (Technically Xbox 360 Edition TU3, but Java 1.5 was the version i felt was closest to that)
This could have been Beta 1.8 and no one would have been able to tell.
I wanted to nerd out, but to be sure i checked every thing i thought of. I remember that hunger was introduced in beta 1.8, but, as it turns out, so were glass panes, experience, and the new porkchop texture. And the softer cobblestone texture was introduced in beta 1.7
Frustrated, i examined the image closer and spotted some gravel in the distance with the texture that came way after beta 1.8
I concede that i wouldn't have noticed it, but it's not impossible >:]
Good catch with the gravel texture! I didn't notice it in the back. On the topic of textures, I know there was a complete but very subtle texture overhaul sometime after 1.0, but I can't tell if this is before or after that change unless I reference the changed textures side by side.
I nearly went for one of the Betas, but my computer was having issues with the Beta tried for some reason.
If you ever wanna try again you could give betacraft launcher a try, it's specifically for playing alpha/beta versions.
Briefly skimmed the page but I saw a .Jar version. Is that a Java build to run in a JVM or for something else entirely?
The launcher is written in Java so that's the universal binary unlike the other platform specific ones. Just like the (very) old original Minecraft launcher.
Ah. That works out great then. Im on steam deck and get the feeling Proton wouldn’t play nice with a Minecraft launcher
There's also an .exe you could use if you're on windows
