Legacy Installation

Overview

Install Legacy from vantage.rip, then launch with the included Rise Launcher when you can. Third-party launchers need extra JVM arguments and a Rise JSON profile.

Caution

Client downloads must come from vantage.rip only. Patch links below are for OS/launcher compatibility packages described in the Legacy tutorials—not alternate client mirrors.

Prefer Rise Launcher

When you download Legacy from Vantage, use the Rise Launcher packaged with it. That path avoids most third-party JSON and argument setup.

Third-party launchers (Windows and others)

If you use Minecraft Launcher, HMCL, or another launcher instead of Rise Launcher:

1. Add the JVM arguments documented on Configuration.
2. Install the Rise .json profile for that launcher (see Configuration — Rise JSON).

Platform tabs

Windows

1. Download Legacy from vantage.rip.
2. Run the included Rise Launcher when available.
3. If you use a third-party launcher, apply JVM arguments and the Rise JSON.

macOS (Apple Silicon)

Video walkthrough (files linked in the video description area of the original tutorial):

• Azul Java 21 (macOS arm64 JDK)
• Start script hosted on Mega in the upstream tutorial: Start.sh on Mega (key segment if Mega reports the file locked: kvoQmATsuTyPn9f7egwF2Yr9hQSLe9W61b5QHsF2qgQ)

Always obtain the Rise client itself from vantage.rip.

macOS (Intel)

1. Download the macOS x86 patch package: Google Drive · Backup.
2. Place the zip in the same directory as Start MacOS ARM.sh from your Rise package.
3. Open Terminal and cd into that directory.
4. Run unzip rise-macos-x86-patch.zip.
5. Start with ./start-macos-x86.sh.

Linux

Use this patch when:

• The console shows java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError (seen on some distros such as Fedora).
• You cannot join servers due to a Netty error when using 1.8.9 Netty with Java 21 (not Rise-specific). Another workaround is setting useNativeTransport to false in options.txt.

1. Download the Linux x64 patch: Google Drive · Backup.
2. Move the zip into the Rise directory (same folder as scripts such as Start MacOS ARM.sh).
3. Open a terminal and cd into that directory (example: cd "Downloads/Rise v6 New").
4. Run unzip rise-linux-x64-patch.zip once.
5. Start with ./start-linux-x64.sh.
