Beta Fix
by BobDev
Beta Fix changes how a set of Beta-era mechanics behave in Java Edition, working on the client and server side of the game.
What it does
The mod targets the mechanics of Minecraft Beta, adding fixes for mining and for several blocks, including stairs, fences, workbenches, doors, trapdoors, furnaces, stone pressure plates, redstone ore, jukeboxes and note blocks. It also adds a modern pick-block option that takes a block without the old mining delay. Because it is applied at the level of the Java Agent loader, it sits outside the usual mod loader APIs.
Beta Fix runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it for the fixes to apply consistently. Files are published for six Beta and early release versions: b1.2_02, b1.3_01, b1.4_01, b1.5_01, b1.6.6 and b1.7.3, within the range b1.2_02 – b1.7.3. Snapshot builds are published alongside the release files.
