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)

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
