You can't play minecraft alpha 1.2.6. You can currently play minecraft beta 1.8 if you buy the game for $21.95 and then play it in the browser or download it to your computer and play it in an application. Alpha 1.2.6 is long gone, and it is not able to be found anywhere, as far as I know.
You can pay for minecraft in any currency: it automatically converts. In pounds sterling it is around £13.
no you need minecraft beta to play beta servers
You can no longer do multiplayer in alpha. Minecraft has moved to Beta now, so there are no more alpha servers. Update the game, and then you can play multiplayer.
Minecraft is a onetime Purchase not every game is a pay to play...pay to play meaning you pay per month to play.
The beta and alpha are passed, now you have to play normal I think o.o
Yes but its half price before the real game comes out
When Minecraft is finished, it will sell for €20.00.If you pre-purchase now during alpha, you pay just €9.95Yes
Minecraft alpha is already free. It is also known as minecraft classic and can be played for free on minecraft.net. All you need to do is create a free account then click the play classic button.
You cannot download Minecraft Alpha. You can only play it on the Minecraft site. You can find it by going to Minecraft.net, and under the "Buy Now" button it has buttons to play Minecraft classic (Alpha) either in multi-player, or single-player.
Minecraft Alpha came out in 2009.
You can't actually find a place to play the old versions of Minecraft but there is a type of mod that is a launcher and it will get the old minecraft versions for you. But other than that, the only way you can play Minecraft Alpha is to get the jar(most likely from the internet unless you have it saved somwhere) and replace it with your current one.
