Default Beta Resource Pack transforms the look of your game to match the old Beta 1.7.3 days. It brings back the classic style for blocks, items, and mobs. Newer items from Beta 1.8 and above get their very first original textures. You can hear the old door and arrow sounds while playing. The pack gives you a huge wave of nostalgia by returning the world to its early roots.

To get the most out of this pack, make sure you turn on the built-in Programmer Art pack in your game settings. You also need OptiFine or a custom entity model mod so the old mob shapes load correctly.

Features:

  • Classic Blocks: Changes normal chests into full blocks and gives glass panes or iron bars their old shapes.
