A Porkchop-Powered Love Letter to Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 — Now on Bedrock Edition!

"Back when the grass was green, the sky was blue, and Creepers were your worst nightmare..."

---

Betafied is an open-source and community-driven project dedicated to recreating the iconic Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 experience — but for Bedrock Edition. The goal is to restore the nostalgic charm of 2011 with classic textures, world generation, mechanics, and more.

🔓 Released under the GNU AGPLv3 License — tweak it, fork it, build something new — it's yours too.

Betafied is more than an addon. It’s a platform shaped by the community. Whether you're here for the nostolgia, the code, or to build your own vision, welcome to the Golden Age of Minecraft!

🧩 Features Checklist

Here's where we're at on the mission to revive Beta 1.7.3:

• Authentic World Generation Classic biomes, ore spread, oceans, and those janky yet beautiful terrain curves.

• Core Mechanics From old-school combat and redstone to farming quirks and mob AI.

• Classic Visuals & Audio OG textures, nostalgic sounds, and that warm fuzzy feeling.

• Survival Systems Beta food mechanics, armor values, and mob behavior - restored.

• Block Behaviors Slabs, stairs, and more function just like you remember.

• Open & Modifiable Codebase Designed for tinkering, extending, and remixing.

Checked items are implemented or foundational. The rest? On the way.
