Legacy Bugs
Legacy Bugs is a research-based Fabric mod that restores selected historical Minecraft bugs as accurately as possible.
Rather than simply imitating old glitches, each bug is researched from its original snapshot behavior, tested, and carefully reimplemented for modern Minecraft.
Historical Bugs
LB-001 — Grindstone Enchantment Merge Bug
Original snapshot: 24w11a
Restores the historical grindstone behavior where enchantments from compatible input items can be merged in ways that normally would not be possible.
Examples include:
- Combining normally incompatible enchantments
- Merging enchantments between items of the same type
- Preserving the historical grindstone behavior from snapshot 24w11a
LB-002 — MC-271398 Crafting Result Bug
Original snapshot: 24w18a
Restores the crafting remainder bug from snapshot 24w18a.
When certain recipes are positioned away from the top-left of the crafting grid, remaining items can be returned to incorrect crafting-grid positions.
