What does Modern Beta Mod actually do?

It changes your world generation to match how Minecraft created terrain during the Beta, Alpha, Infdev, or Indev eras. You get the classic landscapes with modern blocks and features.

Do I need Forge for this mod?

No, Modern Beta Mod is Fabric only. You'll need Fabric Modloader, Fabric API, and Cloth Config API to run it.

Will this mod work with my other mods?

Generally yes, but it's a world generation mod so it only affects new worlds you create. Check for known incompatibilities with any other terrain generation mods.

Can I use this on an existing world?

You'll need to create a new world with Modern Beta Mod installed for it to apply the custom terrain generation. Existing worlds won't be affected.

Modern Beta Mod

Want those classic Minecraft vibes? Modern Beta Mod lets you generate worlds exactly like you remember from the Beta and Alpha days. This mod recreates the terrain generators from Beta, Alpha, Infdev, and Indev, so you get that nostalgic old-school terrain with all the blocks and features from modern Minecraft. It’s not just a texture pack or some watered-down version, either. The terrain generation is nearly block-for-block accurate to how the world generation actually worked back then.

If you’ve ever missed those rolling hills and weird caves from early Minecraft, or you just want to experience what the game was like years ago, this mod is perfect for that. You’re getting the best of both worlds: classic landscape design with modern gameplay.
