Betalicious
by Sparkwave
Betalicious brings the look of old Beta blocks into 1.21.1 for building and decoration, and players can convert blocks to their Beta versions with a handheld Time Machine.
What it does
Sparkwave's Betalicious uses old Beta textures on blocks that behave almost identically to their modern counterparts, so the main visible difference is the texture. Players craft a Time Machine from four iron ingots and an ender eye, then use it in hand to turn certain blocks into their Beta versions. The mod is released under the MIT License, is open source, and requires Architectury API on Fabric and NeoForge. Files cover 1.21.1 only, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.
Key features
Beta textures
Blocks take on the older textures of the Beta releases, while keeping modern block behavior.
Handheld Time Machine
A Time Machine crafted from an ender eye and four iron ingots converts blocks to their Beta form when used.
Unique block effects
A few blocks have effects of their own, beyond the texture swap shared by the rest of the set.
