About this modpack

Are you tired of the countless distractions and overwhelming features included with modern Minecraft versions?

Experience the essence of classic gameplay with the simplicity and charm of Minecraft's beta 1.7.3 era, near-seamlessly bringing it into the modern 1.20.1 engine for performance, modding and quality of life features!

This is not a 100% recreation of Beta 1.7.3 as certain quality of life features are included.
