About this Modpack

"Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks."

AlterBeta seeks to make Minecraft fully embody that statement, while also bringing it back to a simpler time, akin to a hybrid of Beta 1.7.3 and Release 1.2.5. Creativity should be encouraged, and the player should have the ability to make their world into something they truly own.

Contents include:

  • New world generation that seeks to mix Beta 1.7.3 and Release 1.2.5
  • New building blocks, and new variants and purposes for older ones.
  • A health overhaul that works much like Valheim's.
  • Online multiplayer through a friend system.
  • An overhaul to enchanting to make it fair and to break up the current meta.
  • New potions and alchemy, making it something people will more likely use.
  • A magical equivalent to redstone revolving around language.
  • New redstone utilities.
  • Better minecarts with new rails.
  • Gravity generators powered by amethyst.
  • Equipment qualities that can be reforged at an anvil.
  • Enchantment stones that can be used to preserve enchantments upon breaking a tool.
  • Music composition tools.
  • Cameras and photo printing.
  • Painting.
  • 32 dye total dye colors, though not all can be used for everything color-related.
  • Horse stat leveling.
  • Horse-drawn carts.
  • New ships, and airships.
  • Copper equipment.
  • New UI elements to help with screenshot and replay management.
  • And more!

Frequently Asked Questions

AlterBeta server crashes or won't start – what to do?

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong fabric loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 8 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match. With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.

How much RAM does a AlterBeta server really need?

Minimum 6 GB, recommended 8 GB for stable performance. per 5 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €12/month).

Can I add custom mods to AlterBeta without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.20.1). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.

AlterBeta server lagging – performance tips

1) Increase RAM to 8 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time.
