Quick answer

Which Authentic Beta release should I use?

Updated 9 days ago
Latest stable file Authentic Beta CLIENT 1.2_02
Game version 1.20.1
Loader Fabric 0.19.2

Authentic Beta CLIENT 1.2_02 is a complete pack release for 1.20.1 with Fabric 0.19.2. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 72 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Authentic Beta for players and a server?

Use Authentic Beta CLIENT 1.2_02 as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.

Client instance Install Authentic Beta CLIENT 1.2_02
Dedicated server setup Match Authentic Beta CLIENT 1.2_02
Pack loader Fabric 0.19.2

A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.

Plan the server requirements Read the Minecraft installation guide
Referenced mods 72
Client only 23
Server only 5
Not labelled 44

These numbers come from the pack file you chose. “Not labelled” means we don’t know which side it belongs on—not that it is safe everywhere. The file count is not a RAM estimate.

What are the server requirements for Authentic Beta?

Authentic Beta CLIENT 1.2_02. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

72 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Authentic Beta CLIENT 1.2_02. That file is for Minecraft 1.20.1 with Fabric 0.19.2. It contains 72 mod projects. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.

About this project

What kind of pack is Authentic Beta?

banner with the "authentic beta" text, with text beneath it that says "relive the golden age, without the hastle.", there is blurred minecraft terrain in the background and there is a simple golden border around the image

Authentic Beta aims to recreate the Beta 1.7.3 experience as closely as possible on the latest-ish versions of Minecraft, so you don't have to deal with the hastle of playing the original. No more skin proxies or downgrading graphics drivers! Plus, you can play with modern mods!

Features

  • No modern mobs, items, blocks, etc.!
  • No hunger or sprinting!
  • Old graphics and textures!
  • Old world gen!
  • Old achievements system!
  • Old recipes and block drops!
  • Better performance!
  • Compatibility with modern Fabric mods!

_And much more.._

Important Info

  • World Generation
    • Moderner Beta world gen is pre-loaded, no need to change the world gen settings!
  • Updates
    • Expect frequent-ish updates to fix issues and add new features to perfect the (Authentic) Beta experience!
      Feel free to report issues or suggest features in the Discord Server or Issue tracker!
  • Video Settings
    • The normal Sodium video settings can be shown by pressing shift-p!
  • Versions
    • The 1.20.1 version of the pack is the most accurate, and supports mods like Create which haven't been updated past 1.20.1 yet. It is the most optimal version of Authentic Beta.

How to Install

Client

  1. Download the Authentic Beta modpack from the versions page or inside of your mod launcher.
  2. Import the Authentic Beta modpack into your launcher (if applicable).
  3. Play!

Server

  1. Download/Import the Server Version of the Authentic Beta modpack from your server host's modpack section.

    Can't install it that way?

    There are two other methods!

    mrpack-install

    If your server supports mrpack-install, you can use it to install Authentic Beta through command line!

    Manual

    If none of the above will work for you, you can install Authentic Beta on your server manually!

    1. Create a 1.21.1 Fabric server
    2. Import the Server version of Authentic Beta into your launcher using the Client method described previously!
    3. Copy the mods and config folders into your server folder!

  • Play!

    • Q&A

    Q: Server support?

    A: Yes! Read the How to Install section!

    Q: Where do I report issues or make suggestions?

    A: Join the Discord server, or go to the Codeberg page!

    Q: Is this just nostalgia bait?

    A: No, even if you never played Beta you can still enjoy Authentic Beta!

    Q: Forge?

    A: No :3

    Q: Can I use this as a base for my own modpack?

    A: Of course! Just credit me and let me know about it, please :3 (and follow the terms of the license, of course)

    Q: What's the difference between the 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 versions?

    A: The 1.20.1 version has more accurate mechanics compared to the 1.21.1 version, as KubeJS has not been ported to Fabric 1.21.1.

    Q: Is this modpack completely accurate to Beta 1.7.3?

    A: No, and it never really can be. Despite this, I am trying to make it as accurate as I possibly can within my abilities. There are some things I've left in intentionally, such as sign editing and inventory QoL, because I feel that it would not be beneficial to remove them for the sake of complete accuracy (although this is always subject to change, mostly depending on how easy it is to change :P).

    Q: Does this project use AI?

    A: Absolutely not.
