Classic Mechanics

By Wilozyx

(NOTE: If you are updating from versions 1.0.0/1.0.1 to 1.1.0+ then go into the settings menu -> general category -> then click the 'enabled' button on the 'Do scores on reload' module. Afterwards do /reload !)

Classic mechanics is a datapack I've made in the past and kind of abandoned up until recently, when I decided to revisit and upload it. The goal of this datapack is to re-insert older features, tweaks and mechanics of the game into modern minecraft, this includes various things from beta, alpha, infdev, indev, classic, early release, etc.

The datapack comes with 'modules' - each one is a different tweak/feature/mechanic, all of them are toggle-able/configurable at any time and are only ever active if enabled, to preserve game performance.

Remember that all modules are disabled by default! To enable them you must type in the command for the options/config message (listed below)

The options message contains a button you can click to see which modules are enabled/disabled, aswell as all modules, with the minecraft versions they were added and removed on

Config/Options message command:

/function classic_mechanics:options_message

This datapack was greatly inspired by Nostalgic Tweaks mod by Adrenix and Old Days mod by Exalm! Go check them out aswell!

-> NOTES

This datapack aims to be compatible with several other types of datapacks, meaning, it purposefully does not touch things like world/terrain generation and actively tries other, different methods for results that would require such a thing!
This datapack and all other work I've put out is fully public property. You can freely edit/modify/tweak/remake/copy/add to your modpack/add to your own pack/etc, anything you wish! <3
