Kinda Modern Beta
Make Modern Beta feel a lot more beta.
Quick answer
Which Kinda Modern Beta release should I use?
Kinda Modern Beta v2.1.0 is a complete pack release for 1.21.1 with Fabric 0.17.2. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 40 mods in this pack file.
Pack setup
How should I set up Kinda Modern Beta for players and a server?
Use Kinda Modern Beta v2.1.0 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.
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.
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 Kinda Modern Beta?
Kinda Modern Beta v2.1.0. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.
The selected pack release is Kinda Modern Beta v2.1.0. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.1 with Fabric 0.17.2. It contains 40 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

- Tons of optimization, letting everyone experience Modern Beta!
- Custom capes look just like normal ones
- Includes Server Pack Unlocker, allowing the use of custom resource packs
- Everything required for the official server pack to work as intended, including the beta sky & stars and boats without minecarts in them

- Autowalk pre-installed to get you to the farlands
- Litematica pre-installed
- Every proxy pre-loaded into the server list for easy access
