Features & Gameplay

Disclaimers

**Beta Rebuilt** was made for **26.2** **ONLY** I do not intend on keeping this pack supported for later versions, though that is subject to change. Do not use this datapack on existing worlds. This datapack is intended as a stand alone experience which heavily overwrites vanilla features. I cannot guarantee compatibility with any other mods/datapacks that modify terrain generation, biomes, structures, loot tables, or gameplay mechanics. Client-side mods are probably fine. All screenshots were taken using the [Golden Days](https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/golden-days) resource pack.

### Summary **Every single feature has been designed to feel like Beta 1.7.3** - World generation - Environmental features - Gameplay mechanics - Removed all structures - Food healing system - Crafting recipes - Modern additions [**Click here for jacobsjo's Datapack Seed Viewer**](https://map.jacobsjo.eu/?datapacks=modrinth:beta-rebuilt)
![Beta Rebuilt Terrain](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/16cc3ebaa7e8b3bc45ac839a2665678b7e9f44c0.png) ### World Generation > Features such as terrain, ore distribution, underground lakes, biomes, beaches, grass color, and even flower patches have all been designed to emulate Beta. When playing Beta Rebuilt it should feel just like playing Beta.
### Environmental Features > Ambient features like the color of light from torches, the brightness of stars, and the darkness of night have all been adjusted to reflect what you would find while playing Beta.

These features include the ability to farm pumpkins, apples dropping from oak leaves, foods stacking to 8 items, and a chance for cocoa to drop from zombies. These are minor changes that help make resources renewable or reduce friction while playing. > > There is only one custom biome, albiet a rare biome, and it can ocasionally come with a shrine structure.

Click here for the Toggle Commands

``` /trigger beta-rebuilt.additions ``` This will enable extra crafting recipes like being able to make Mossy Cobblestone. I've added vanilla recipes such as Tripwire Hooks and Pumpkin Pie, so check it out, and if you don't want them just use the command again.

``` /trigger beta-rebuilt.cake ``` This will disable the weird work around I used to allow you to eat cake. (it's not a lie)

``` /trigger beta-rebuilt.sprint ``` This will disable sprinting, though it isn't perfect. I just wouldn't sprint, but if you're a w tapper this might help.
