Frequently asked questions

How do I create a world with Beta 1.7.3 terrain?
When creating a new world, look for the world type or preset selector and choose 'Beta 1.7.3' from the available chunk generators. The mod will then generate terrain matching that classic version's style.
Why does my world look different from actual Beta Minecraft?
Make sure you've enabled the Beta sky/fog colors and Beta biome colors in your client rendering options—these are what give worlds that authentic classic look. Without them, the terrain generates correctly but the visual appearance will feel more modern.
What's the difference between all these Infdev dates?
Each Infdev date represents a different snapshot of terrain generation from that development phase, with varying world sizes, terrain features, and biome behavior. Try different dates to see which classic generation style you prefer.
