Description

STORY: Minecraft Ex.Beta is an Experimental Beta you've come across whilst trying to pirate a copy to play. The visual quality is poor the game seems both old and new? Updates mixed with modern changes or even familiar content youve seen from quality of life mods. Though whether it be the unlisted version or the pirated client itself, something is wrong.. This copy you got your hands on doesn't come without it's offputting vibe.. there's more there, there's more that SHOULDN'T be there. Explore these features that have never been seen to official releases, and these features that were seen in releases long ago.

INFO: Minecraft Ex.Beta is a modpack i put together of horror and terror mods i've grown to like with visuals i prefer in this kind of setting. It's not required that you follow the visuals i intend as the modpack is just as spooky scary and unsettling with modern visuals. If you're interested in what it has to offer you can go through the content but the pack is primarily quality of life mixed with nostalgic changes and a dash of modern MC letting you set up your experience however you want without losing the atmosphere.

VISUALS: If you want to play the way i intend. I suggest you manually lower your fullscreen resolution until you have vhs-like borders (do NOT use the vhs resolution in the stock shader), if your game seems to be running poorly make sure to set your interlacing to the proper FPS in the STOCK SHADERS' SETTINGS (trial and error theres only 3 settings) and if you cant, then its perfectly okay to disable it entirely. I say to do it this way because this also diminishes the quality which fits the vibe i go for AND improves performance. so you can have the intended look and even play on low end devices.
