A lightweight Minecraft Beta replica for playing newer Forge mods on older beta versions
What This Modpack Does
Pure Beta on Forge creates a complete Beta experience on modern Forge, allowing you to:
- 💎 Experience authentic Beta 1.7.3 world generation, mechanics, and visuals
- Forget about new features like deepslate, enchanting, villagers, etc.
- 💎 Play with modern Forge mods in a classic Beta environment
- Barebones setup for maximized mod compatibility
- 💎 Customize your experience with Nostalgic Tweaks
- old boat launching, instant bows, etc. all easily toggleable
What Makes This Pack Unique
Other Beta Modpacks Pure Beta on Forge ❌ Only available for Fabric ✅ Available for Forge ❌ Often mix in modern elements ✅ Actively removes non-Beta features ❌ Don't work when you add mods ✅ Highly compatible ❌ Often bloated with unnecessary mods ✅ Lightweight with minimal mods
Beta Customization Options
Fine-tune your experience through Nostalgic Tweaks settings:
- Open your game menu
- Click "Mods"
- Select "Nostalgic Tweaks"
- Adjust settings to make your game more Alpha-like or more modern
WORLD SETUP INFORMATION
When creating a new world:
- Set world type to "Moderner Beta"
- Set "Generate Structures" to OFF
- (Optional: The deserts in default generation are mostly limited to small splotches of sand. It is my recommendation to use Beta 1.8 generation, but if you insist, then I suggest large biomes, which feels more normal) Customize > World Preset > Beta Custom > Beta Large Biomes.
- (Optional) Disable Broadcast Advancements in Chat gamerule on world creation.
