How do you get Minecraft?

Answer 1

Go to edit profile in the launcher before you start up the game and under "select version" you can check the box next the "allow beta mincraft versions (2010-2011). Then all you have to do it select the beta version you want under "use version" (the beta versions are at the bottom of the list). Hope that helps :D.
