🧪 Beta Notice

Essential Optimized 26.3-1.0.1-beta is still a beta release.

Minecraft 26.3 compatibility is still being worked on, so mods may continue to be updated, disabled, re-added, or removed as development continues.

If you encounter a crash, bug, compatibility issue, or anything else that doesn't work as expected, please report it through the appropriate issue tracker.

💾 Important — Back Up Your Worlds

⚠️ Please back up your important worlds before updating to Essential Optimized 26.3-1.0.1-beta.

A Minecraft version change and major mod updates can introduce compatibility issues with mods, configurations, and world data.

🛡️ Recommended Backup Steps

Before updating:

1. 🗂️ Close Minecraft completely.
2. 💾 Make a copy of your saves folder.
3. 📁 Store the backup somewhere outside your Minecraft instance.
4. 🔒 Keep the backup until you've confirmed the new version works correctly.
5. ✅ Only delete the backup once you're confident your worlds are safe.

Do not rely on the modpack itself to protect your worlds. Keep your own backup of any world you care about.

📌 Final Note

Essential Optimized is now officially entering its Minecraft 26.3 beta cycle.

More compatibility updates, improvements, mod changes, and additions will come as the 26.3 ecosystem continues to develop.

More updates coming soon! ⚡
