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 old sheep wool dyeing, no wolf collar dyeing, and chicken eggs don't spawn chickens (since KubeJS is available on this version). What it doesn't have is the better achievements screen and vertical toasts in the 1.21.1 version. Other than these, there is basically no differences, besides the underlying Minecraft version!
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.
