Is there any way to play the old survival test versions? (self.minecraft)

I have the old .jar and .json files, and I've tried using them both in multimc as well as the standard launcher, and neither detects them as valid installs. Most of the stuff I see online is either wildly outdated or full of dead links. Any help?

Using PrismLauncher I believe you can play this version

Prism Launcher is the one to use, PolyMC dev was an asshole.

This is what I meant... I was a bit tired and wrote the wrong one 🤦‍♂️

Do you know how I would go about doing it? I tried putting the folder with far and json into the instances directory, but it doesn't show up to play

I remember ages ago when I wanted to play them too, I took the survival test version and put them in the Versions Folder, from there in the launcher I made a new instance and choose that version to play. Make sure you enable Alpha, Beta and Experimental versions tho

I feel like you may be able to do with Prism Launcher but I haven't tried it myself.
