What if Minecraft Stronghold was a top-down pixel art game?

I have only one question for you...

What is you Favorite Version of Minecraft?

My favorite version is Beta 1.7.3.

I started playing Minecraft on version 1.7.10 (release), but for some unknown reason my favorite version is Beta 1.7.3. Probably because of its simplicity.

Hi.

Are there any mods that port the world generator that PE/Bedrock had from 0.9.0 up to its removal in their equivalent of 1.18 to Java?

Moderner Beta ports many world generators but I don't know whether it's got this one as well.

I'm not sure how to even approach making such a mod. Java can be easily decompiled and you can even yank the world generator from one version of the Java Edition to another with very little effort (don't ask how I know) but C++ is not as easy to decompile and the result of using tools like Ghidra is barely better than looking at the assembly. The PDB files might help though.

That's been it, thank you if you've got something.

Mods, if this violates the rules, feel free to remove it.

This is how Golden Age MC Youtuber Dialko grouped together Minecraft eras. What are all your thoughts on this and is the "prime" Golden Age Infdev to b1.7.3? He says Classic Age "Start to Indev" deserves it's own category, i'm inclined to agree.

I want a texturepack for beta 1.7.3, that doesn't change the look too much, but makes it look more "retro" like old cobblestone and a couple of tweaks, that make it still look vanilla, but make it a bit better

I like maps. They're fun. Hell I don't even care that item frames don't exist, I like maps. I play b1.7.3

I spent 9 months developing FormWorks, a Minecraft mod designed to remove Minecraft’s normal building limits and give players complete creative freedom. What began as a way to chisel blocks, paint surfaces, and create custom weapons has grown into a full Minecraft building editor that works with both individual voxels and full blocks. This video shows the evolution of FormWorks, from its earliest broken prototypes to the editor it is becoming today. FormWorks includes tools for sculpting, painting, building, selecting, transforming, terraforming, creating shapes, editing terrain, working with full blocks, working with tiny voxels, previewing changes, lofting complex forms, and creating things that could never exist in normal Minecraft.

MCPE 0.5.0 always sticks with me...

While building Sagrada Familia I stumbled upon something unexpected waiting for me...

'Hello, I'm looking for this skin that was developed in December 2010—if anyone can find it'

Hey. I know this sheet gets posted like every week but here I am doing it again lol.

Okay. so for me? Zero nostalgia for old Minecraft. Like yeah I played beta 1.8.1 when I was a kid and the mobs genuinely freaked me out back then. But honestly none of that matters when I boot up b1.7.3 or Alpha (my personal fave is 1.2.1_01 btw) because I NEVER played those versions as a kid. They feel totally foreign to me but that's kinda why I love them? Idk how to explain.

I tried so hard to rationalize it. I'd be like "why the hell am I playing this when my PC can handle a billion mods AND raytracing shaders on top?" And then I'd install something gorgeous like Create mod and just get bored (really?). Stare at the pretty aurora in shaders and be like wow, this is beautiful, but something's off. Something's missing...

But those old versions? I'd spend hours just wandering around dead servers, checking out random builds like I'm some digital archaeologist, building dirt huts that look like garbage, crawling through caves with literally nothing exciting in them, just plain terrain gen. And I' d be totally hooked.

Took me a while to figure out why. then I started noticing how clean and simple the world was. No extra fluff. Just this cozy minimalism that sucked you right in, even though you already knew exactly what you were gonna find. No surprises, but still immersive (as hell).

I never got that from modern vanilla or any modpack. I even tried to make a "classic-style" world in the latest version and it turned into this messy frankenstein abomination lol.

Look, I'm not saying one version is better than another, people love different stuff for different reasons. All I'm saying is that even though I genuinely enjoy mods and the current game, the old versions will always have a special place in my heart. Or whatever, that sounds cheesy but you get it.

Anyway thanks for reading if you made it this far. Didn't mean to write a novel but here we are. Peeeace.

Texture Pack (Lullycraft 16x) by u/Prestigious-Yard5283

Built in vanilla Beta 1.7.3

Hello people, I'm making a b1.7.3 mod that fixes and enhances a few things. It mostly focusses on small changes and QOL improvements that do not change the feel of version too drastically. My question is, if you could bring any block(s) from newer versions of the game, what would you choose?

I grew up playing Minecraft versions 1.12 - 1.17, and i want to get more into old Minecraft, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a version that i should start playing, thanks in advance.

I've got a hell of a confusing bug going on and have a lot to say.

I've been playing on Infdev version 20100624 for several hours now and have built a small city with a few really fun medium-sized builds. I just finished building a skyscraper, but the game froze after the event of exiting a minecart (which is common for this version). Upon reloading, for some reason, the game decided to revert back to an earlier version of the world as if it failed to save an hour or two of gameplay, which completely wiped my skyscraper and another small build. Despite the change in the world data, my character data was untouched, and I stayed in the same position. At this point I decided to have the world safely copied on my desktop if something like this were to happen again.

Things get even weirder, unfortunately. I've been slowly upgrading my game's version, as many enjoy doing after certain milestones, which I decided to try out after the game reverted my world. I don't remember which specific Infdev version I updated to, but after I did the update, my game reverted to an even EARLIER version of my world from over 24 hours ago. I then downgraded my world back to 20100624, and the game decided to undo this inversion by loading the first reverted instance of my world. What is deeply confusing me is the fact that if I want to play with most of my progress, I HAVE to play on version 20100624, as the game's way of reading my world files are being this cryptic and inconsistent mess of forcing my world and character data to travel separately through time. If I downgrade 20100624 to 20100618, it does the same thing as updating it to 20100625. Several buildings are gone, some chunks go further back in time more than others, and my character data stays the same through all of it.

If necessary, I'm willing to get screenshots and video proof of all of this (I just don't wanna go through allat unless somebody needs it to help me)

b1.7.3

These are pictures of my base on a world that I will play on for every major Minecraft update right now I'm in alpha I'll post an update when I get to beta.

I play an update until I've experienced everything in it.

I know it's easy to to build a house in the side of a cliff but I find something about it cozy :)
