Q&A
Q: Server support?
A: Yes! Read the How to Install section!
Q: Where do I report issues or make suggestions?
A: Join the Discord server, or go to the Codeberg page!
Q: Why choose this modpack over others that claim to be accurate to Beta?
A: Other packs fail to be as accurate as this one. Other packs have blatant immersion-breaking inaccuracies that have gone unfixed (which can easily be fixed) and a lack of attention to detail. Most of those packs aren't even being updated anymore either.
Q: Forge port?
A: No :3
Q: Can I use this as a base for my own modpack?
A: Of course! Just credit me and let me know about it, please :3 (and follow the terms of the license, of course)
Q: What's the difference between the 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 versions?
A: The 1.20.1 version has more accurate mechanics compared to the 1.21.1 version, as KubeJS has not (and likely will not..) been ported to Fabric 1.21.1.
Q: Is this modpack completely 100% accurate to Beta 1.7.3?
A: No, and it never really can be. Despite this, I am trying to make it as accurate as I possibly can within my abilities. There are some things I've left in intentionally (basically just little modern QoL stuff) because I feel that it would not be beneficial to remove them for the sake of complete accuracy (although this is always subject to change, partially depending on how easy it is to change).
Q: Does this project use AI?
A: Absolutely not.
