Description
a retro mod that aims to emulate the glory days of minecraft without getting rid of too many modern day features. based around the idea of "what if minecraft was made 5 years earlier?"
this mod runs on 26.2 and has been updated, will not include mods that are no longer getting updated.
- iris and sodium are included for performance.
- nostalgic tweaks for various old features
- golden days base for old textures and vibes
- ninjamike1211's psx mcsx shader for "the look"
from the fog for a twinge of creepines(not updated, so i cant include it in newest release)- plamso voice and soundboard for proximity chat options
- moderner for old terrain generation option
- and like 40 other mods that i'm too lazy to list
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY ISSUES.
(note: to configure the crt overlay to match your display and personal preference, simply adjust the settings in the mcsx psx shader menu.)
