Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 (clone)
============================

Two ready-to-send builds are in this folder:

  • MinecraftBeta173-macOS.zip     -> for Mac  (Apple Silicon: M1/M2/M3/M4)
  • MinecraftBeta173-Windows.zip   -> for Windows 10/11 (64-bit)

Send someone the ONE zip for their computer. They unzip and run it — no Python,
no install. Multiplayer: one person clicks "Host Game" (their IP is shown on
screen), the others pick "Multiplayer -> Join Game" and type that IP. On the same
network use the shown IP; on the same computer use 127.0.0.1.

NEW in v1.3.0 — "Survival, Saved & Alive":
  • Worlds SAVE to disk now. "Singleplayer" shows your saved worlds — pick one to
    continue, or create a new one (name it first). It autosaves and saves on quit.
  • Sound effects + ambient music + particles (block breaks, explosions).
  • Real lighting: caves are dark — place TORCHES (or glowstone) to light them.
  • New blocks/items: torches, chests (storage), TNT (light with flint & steel),
    ladders, glass, and wheat farming (hoe -> seeds -> wheat -> bread).
  Saved worlds live in your home folder under ".minecraft_b173_clone/saves".

DOWNLOAD PAGE (always has the latest version):
    https://mcb173-deploy.vercel.app
You can just send people that link instead of the zip.

AUTOMATIC UPDATES:
    The game checks that page on startup. When you publish a newer version, the
    main menu shows "Update available" — press U to open the download page and
    grab the new build. (Existing copies older than v1.1.0 won't check, since the
    updater was added in v1.1.0.)


------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO OPEN — macOS   (Apple Silicon: M1 or newer)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Double-click MinecraftBeta173-macOS.zip to unzip it. You get a folder with
   the app and a launcher.
2. EASIEST first launch: double-click  "Open Minecraft (first time).command"
   (it clears Apple's "unverified developer" block and starts the game).
   If macOS warns about the launcher, right-click it -> Open -> Open.
3. After that first time, just double-click MinecraftBeta173.app like any app.

   In-game: a HOW TO PLAY card appears the first time you spawn. Press H any
   time to show/hide the controls.

   (Manual alternative: right-click MinecraftBeta173.app -> Open -> Open.
    This Mac build is Apple Silicon only; Intel Macs aren't supported.)


------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO OPEN — Windows
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Right-click MinecraftBeta173-Windows.zip -> Extract All.
2. Open the extracted "MinecraftBeta173-Windows" folder.
3. Double-click  MinecraftBeta173.exe
4. Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC":
       click "More info"  ->  "Run anyway"
   (This appears for any app that isn't code-signed with a paid certificate.)

   IMPORTANT: keep all the files in the folder together — the .exe needs the
   files next to it. Don't pull MinecraftBeta173.exe out on its own.
