Welcome to Moderner Beta! This is a fork of b3spectacled's Modern Beta that started out as a pull request but due to the original creator's inactivity has been published as a fork. Alongside all of the world generation options from Modern Beta, this fork adds in world generators from Beta 1.8 all the way up to Release 1.17 which are highly customisable with plenty of configuration options. The goal of this fork now is to pick Modern Beta's development back up and add in extra features.

For more info, check out the Modern Beta Wiki.

Features

In addition to everything in Modern Beta...

Support for NeoForge in addition to Fabric
Graphical settings menu for every customizable option
World generation from Beta 1.8 up to Release 1.6 with experimental support for 1.7 to 1.17 generation
Additional world generation from Infdev 20100325, Classic 0.0.14a_08 and Beta 1.1
Reduced world height available as a built-in datapack
Fixed surface rules for Beta Vanilla and 1.12.2 presets
Highly customisable biome layout for Beta 1.8+ versions

For the authentic early release look, use a resource pack like PACP or Programmer Art Ultimate to add the programmer art style to newer content and use Sodium Extra to thicken the fog by turning down the fog start multiplier to 25% (or 75% if a 1.7-1.17 look is desired).

For a beta-style look, use a resource pack like Golden Days and use Nostalgic Tweaks to further restore old mechanics and visuals.

Thanks to icanttellyou for porting the mod to 1.20.1, NeoForge and Minecraft Forge.
