Better Than Wolves Installed and working in new Launcher!!
Posted: Tue Jan 09, 2018 1:51 pm
I was able to get BTW working (SSP and MP servers) with the newest launcher available on minecraft.net.
I wanted to share my discovery to see if any others are able to replicate. or run into issues.
Firstly I have a working .jar .json version already setup that I was using with the alternative launcher. I set this up using mcpatcher with better grass and all that enabled.
I then installed and ran the new version of minecraft downloaded directly from minecraft.net.
At this point if you try to run the working version it will allow single player but give an error logging into servers.
To fix this:
-I opened my .json file
-search the file for "minecraft arguments"
-Modify it from:
"minecraftArgumentsminecraftArguments":"${auth_player_name} ${auth_session}
-to:
"minecraftArguments":"${auth_player_name} token:${auth_access_token}:${auth_uuid}
I was then able to log into my Better Than Wolves Headed Beastie server and play with no issues.
Despite me using the above method of an already created .jar/.json, I feel that manually installing BTW and modifying the json in the way above will still work but i have not personally tried this.
Edit: I forgot to mention that after changing the minecraftArguments, you also then need to create a new profile using the profile you just modified.
