Description
Modern Beta aims to recreate the Beta 1.7.3 experience as closely as possible on the latest-ish versions of Minecraft, so you don't have to deal with the hastle of playing the original. No more skin proxies or downgrading graphics drivers!
Features
- No modern mobs, items, blocks, etc.!
- No hunger or sprinting!
- Old graphics and textures!
- Old world gen!
- Old achievements system!
- Old recipes and block drops!
- Better performance!
- Compatibility with modern Fabric mods! And much more..
Important Info
- World Generation
- Moderner Beta world gen is pre-loaded, no need to change the world gen settings!
- Updates
- Expect frequent-ish updates to fix issues and add new features to perfect the (Modern) Beta experience! Feel free to report issues or suggest features in the Discord Server or Issue tracker!
- Video Settings
- The normal Sodium video settings can be shown by pressing shift-p!
- Versions
- The 1.20.1 version of the pack is the most accurate, and supports mods like Create which haven't been updated past 1.20.1 yet. It is the most optimal version of Modern Beta.

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: Is this just nostalgia bait?
A: No, even if you never played Beta you can still enjoy Modern Beta!
Q: Forge?
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
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 been ported to Fabric 1.21.1.
Q: Is this modpack completely 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, such as sign editing and inventory QoL, 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, mostly depending on how easy it is to change :P).
