If you want to try out future features, and help the developers along the way, beta testing is a good option. You can experience coming addions to the game without risking losing your worlds.
Starting beta testing is simple. Just download the files from the beta branch and install the game as usual. Hardware changes will rarely be needed, and if so, they will be optional. Start playing, and see what features and bugs you find!
If you find a bug in the beta version, please use GitHub's Issues feature to report it. Please include as much information as possible about the problem, like
- Which version exhibited the bug (you can find the version number at the top of the MinePlusPlus.ini file)?
- What world size are you playing on?
- What exactly happened?
- How long had the world been running for?
Happy Beta Testing!
