    Help test a new launcher!
    • Alice will now update incrementally, so you don't have to download everything again during updates.
    • You can now choose things to install or to not install. Right now there's not many options, but that should change.
    • The console is now better and more useful.
    • There were also a number of changes in other places.
    What needs to be tested: updating Alice and running it.

    Does this mean it won't as painful to download updates for people who have bad internet?

    Download it again and see if it is any better.

    What are your specs? Memory? CPU?

    I keep getting 200 code expected when trying to download the 1.5 master or 1.5 spawn build packs. The old Alice works and one of my custom packs works along with vanilla, its just when i try to download the packs.

    You currently need special access to them because they're not ready yet.

    For the spawn build, you can request access in the forum.
