Minecraft Beta 1.20.1

Imagine a world where Minecraft didn't release into a full version, and instead, remained in an existential Beta state...

Now imagine a world where the legends from your childhood were actually true...

Introducing Minecraft Beta 1.20.1

A modpack that aims to capture the beauty and horror of Beta Minecraft, retaining the modern features you've come to love, and adding some you'll truly appreciate!

Features

• 250+ Mods that aim to improve the performance of the game, as well as adding many QoL features, without straying too far from vanilla!

• Mob Votes? In this alternate timeline? Every mob from the mob votes are here including some extras that have always been requested!
• The Nether Reactor Core from Minecraft: Pocket Edition returns in a more modern standard, that stays faithful to its origin!
• Brand new structures such as Fallen Survivor Bases, New Village Types, and other structures that retain Minecraft's core aesthetic!

• Copper is now (slightly) more useful!

• Give your furry-best-friends some well desevered love by petting them and letting them be more independent (Pres Y to Pet and J to Whistle on KBM, Hold D-Pad Right to bring up a menu on Controller)
• Overhauled combat, no more cooldowns, swing that sword to your hearts content!

• And much more to come!!!

Please Note that you will manually have to change which Java version you use, Minecraft Beta 1.20.1 requires Java 17!

FAQ

• Q: This doesn't feel a thing like beta Minecraft.
• A: That's the point! I didn't want to create another modpack that was just "beta but spooky" I wanted to create a modpack that felt like Mojang was the Mojang they were during the beta phase, when updates were huge and added variety to the game!
• Q: Can I post this modpack to YouTube or other social medias?
• A: ABSOLUTELY! Please just remember to link this page back somewhere so people can find it easier!
• Q: I'm not seeing any textures and the datapacks you provided aren't appearing
• A: I'm extremely new to making modpacks, so it's entirely possible you downloaded an older version that didn't contain resource packs/datapacks in the modpack file. To fix this download any version from 1.1.4 or above!
• Q: Are there any major jumpscares/epilepsy issues I should know of?
• A: Just one really, and it's fairly tame, Herobrine has a very small chance of being able to crash your game, aside from that however, you shouldn't be jumpscared! (at least, not in the traditional sense)
• Q: My frames are going down horribly when I'm mining in a cave waaaaay underground!
• A: This is a known issue, the only fix for now is to disable particles when you encounter severe frame-loss (this is especially bad in the Deep Dark and Ancient Cities)
• Q: When is the non-horror version coming? And will it differ from this main version?
• A: Now! Check the Alpha Release Channel to play a version without the horror elements (or if you're just tired of Herobrine griefing your stuff)
