/scoreboard players allowthirddimension eobmain_globalconfig 0
1.2.1 Video (legacy) (latest is 1.8)
1.0.1 Video (legacy)Elements of Beta ("EOB") is a datapack and resource pack that brings Elements of Beta to modern Minecraft servers. EOB also adds custom content which must be found in the ??? dimension. With no mods!
The EOB datapack must be used with EOB Assets.
Major Changes: (As of 1.8)
- Experience and hunger removed
- Attack delay removed
- Beta 1.7.3 Food System
- Sprinting removed
- Golden Days and Beta Recipes are integrated within EOB. Using the plugin OldGenerator is heavily recommended.
- End removed...?
- EOB Filter: all modern blocks, mobs, items, and recipes are removed.
- Sand and Gravel duping (like Beta)
- Slab and (simple) wool Transmutation
- Blockstate checker (e.g. upside-down stairs)
- Look at the Changelog page.
EOB is used best in tandem with other mods/datapacks/plugins that emulate Beta minecraft.
Here's the best ones:
- OldGenerator plugin or modified version of Such
- Nostalgic Tweaks
EOB datapacks may be incompatible with:
(NT = nostalgic tweaks mod)
- NT Prevent hunger <-- IS incompatible.
- NT Old Drops <-- IS incompatible.
- Modern(er) Beta World Generation (may be configurable to work)
- Other datapacks/mods that affect the datapack's scopes.
- Mods that use the default Heart icon
Known issues:
- Transmuting beds may cause unstable behavior (if you have allowthirddimension on in the eobmain_globalconfig scoreboard)
- Weak compatibility with Moderner Beta
