Beta Days Mod

Want to immerse yourself in the good old days? The Beta Days modification allows you to recreate the functions and gameplay of classic Minecraft versions in modern game releases.

Mod Features

Classic Interface

Return to the old screen appearance with the hunger bar removed and the armor bar position changed. Enabling this option only affects the interface appearance. For the full experience, it's recommended to disable the hunger system.

Beta-Styled Main Menu

Replaces the standard main menu with the version from classic times with minor adjustments. The game version is displayed in the top left corner, and the background features the familiar repeating dirt texture.

Old-School Bow Shooting

Returns the ability for instant bow shots without the need to charge, as it was in the old game versions.

Without Nether Fog

Removes the thick fog in the Nether, allowing you to see further and clearer in this dimension.

Classic Combat System

Disables the weapon cooldown system from versions 1.9 and above, restoring the ability for continuous attacks. You can mash that mouse button as much as you want!

No Sprinting

When running is disabled, you fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the old game. This option also disables swimming added in version 1.14.4.

Beta-Style Food System

When the hunger system is disabled, food instantly restores health instead of filling the hunger bar. Consume food with a single click!

Additional Features

• Mobs stop dropping experience when killed
• Classic messages appear on the loading screen when entering dimensions: "Entering the Nether", "Entering the End"
• And many other settings
