About this Modpack

This modpack gives you the best of both worlds—the nostalgic charm of the old with the functionality of the new! Step back in time to relive the Beta experience, with modern performance tweaks to keep gameplay smooth.
Features
Beta Textures
This pack includes the Golden Days resourcepack, which restores Minecraft’s classic beta look. Newer textures are seamlessly adjusted to maintain the nostalgic feel.
Old Mechanics
The Nostalgic Tweaks mod brings back beloved mechanics, such as:
- Classic combat with spam-clicking and sword blocking
- The ladder-climbing glitch (climb through a single space between ladders)
- Optional pre-beta food system, without hunger, sprinting, or stackable food
Hybrid World Generation
Thanks to the Cascades mod, you can explore worlds that mix old-school terrain with new biomes—bringing the best of both eras.
Performance Optimization
The pack is optimized for smooth performance on any system. Mods like Sodium and Nvidium ensure stable FPS, even on low-end PCs.
Classic Food System
Want the old pre-beta 1.8 food system? Simply press the END key, navigate to "Config Menu" > "Manage" > "Config Presets", and hold the "Apply" button under the "Beta Times No Hunger.json" preset.

Frequently Asked Questions
Beta Times 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 Beta Times 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 Beta Times 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.
Beta Times 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.
