Hello there! 👋
AlphaVer or Minecraft Alpha 1.0.16 Versions (we call it AlphaVer), is a fictional web series/ARG that revolves around a closed-off branch of the actual Alpha 1.0.16 version of Minecraft.
Great, so where do I start?
I recommend you start by checking out RetroGamingNow's YouTube video, as it explains most of the vital parts entertainingly. If you came from here though, go ahead and read through the repo, it contains a lot of information.
If you feel like picking up the playable versions, but don't know how to, you can check out the following video guides:
