Advanced launcher for very old Minecraft. Latest releases
Jar files for very old (preclassic to Indev) versions of Minecraft can be hard to get running. The goal of this project is to make a launcher that can easily make them work without modifying them.
This project's main purpose is to help preserve these legacy versions.
All versions up until release 1.5.2 + modifications deriving from them are expected to work. If you find a version that fits this description but does not run, please open an issue.
To run DECRAFT, you will need at least Windows Vista with .NET Framework 4.5.2 installed.
