Final Beta

Final Beta

A (Cursed) Fabric mod for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 that adds some quality of life changes and fixes some issues.

There's a very high chance this mod will not work in multiplayer, as of right now it is purely for singleplayer

You can change what fixes get applied using the config found in one of the following paths:

OS	Location
Windows	%appdata%/.minecraft/config/finalbeta.toml
Linux	~/.minecraft/config/finalbeta.toml
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/config/finalbeta.toml

Note that if you're using something like MultiMC or any of its derivates the folder will be in a different location, in those instances simply right click on your profile and click on "Folder", this will open the location where you can find the .minecraft folder and follow the path from above.

List of changes

Quality of Life changes

Sugar canes can now be places on sand

More sounds

• Opening / closing chests
• Minecarts
• Items breaking
• Climbing ladders

Note: The mod doesn't add any sounds by itself, all of these sounds are already present in your "resources" folder, they are automatically downloaded by Minecraft itself

Adds Clouds toggle in Video Settings

Adds Cloud height slider in Video Settings

Removes the id tags above entities while in F3 mode

Before:

After:

Added amount of ingame days and real life days of playtime in F3 overlay

Format: ingame days (real life days)

The ingame time is calculated using the world's time, this means that other mods that poorly reset the time of day might influence it, sleeping also passes 1 ingame game as expected.

Real life days are calculated differently from the world time but are stored in the world's data (level.dat) if this file gets corrupted or deleted both ingame time and real life time will be lost.

Note: Unfortunately due to how the time is tracked real life days will start being counted since this mod gets installed, any prior time not being tracked. Ingame days will however be tracked correctly.

Two different config options to handle how boats break

• Default config (value of 2) allows boats to break only when they crash with almost maximum speed. Making them less likely to break randomly.
• A value of 1 disables boat breaking logic entirely.

Items can now be repaired at crafting tables

Dyed wool can be turned back into white wool using bone meal

Minecart improvements

Such as a 25% increased in speed

Or furnace minecarts pushing other minecarts in their path

Or furnace minecarts loading chunks around them when going on tracks.

Note: This is not the prettiest of fixes and edge cases might still exist as I didn't test it in normal gameplay for long periods of time. If you experience any issues with already placed doors break them and then place them again, this should fix them.

FAQ

Q: What is this ?

A minecraft mod for beta 1.7.3 aiming to fix some of the more annoying issues with it without changing or bloating the game too much.

Q: Why Beta 1.7.3 ?

Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 is a popular version to play for nostalgia but also because of how different it is, there is no running, ender dragon or goal, and its much more of a sandbox in its true sense. Some people really like playing on this version, however it does come with a lot of small annoyances, this mod aims to fix those and make the game more enjoyable.

Q: My achievements screen is all messed up / Torches have corrupted textures /
Entities and items don't seem to burn
Its very likely you have the Cursed Legacy API installed, you do not need it for this mod to work and it actually causes more problems when installed (at least at the time of writing this)

Q: There's a certain feature/change I don't like, can I turn it off ?

Chances are that yes you can, the mod comes with a config containing flags for most of the changes/fixes.

This config can be found in the follow location: .minecraft/config/finalbeta.toml

The exact location of the .minecraft folder will depend on the launcher you're using.

Q: Why rewrite it for ModLoader ?

Couple of reasons:

• first because it was a fun experience and I wanted to try it out
• secondly for extra compatibility with other mods from that time
• finally it is much easier (especially nowadays with MultiMC/Prism) to install ML mods so for some people it might be more convenient especially when paired with the above reason

Q: How does it compare with the original Cursed Fabric version ?

Feature wise they are 1:1 and they'll remain as such until either stops being updated.

Q: Is it safe to move my world from Cursed Fabric to ModLoader ?

Generally speaking yes, however its good practice to always make backups before doing any major change

Q: Will the Cursed Fabric version continue to get updates ?

Yes

Q: Are there any drawbacks to using the ModLoader version ?

Yes, quite a few

The big difference is in how they're made, ModLoader does not benefit from mixins and their power, instead decompiling and editing files. As some of you might be aware if two mods edit the same file that's a big no no and one of them will stop working. This is 100% true and the biggest issue due the lack of mixins and there is no real fix for it at the moment. The only "fix" is for certain parts to be rewritten to not modify the original file wherever possible

Thankfully the way the mod is designed most of the patches are independent from each other and can be removed from the zip file without any issues.

While the config still exists in this version turning off a patch does not mean the compatibility issue will be fixed! If there is one and the file can be removed then removing it is the only option.
