Game rule Backport
by Seniye
Game rule Backport brings some modern Minecraft game rules back to 1.7.10 as a Forge mod for worlds on that version.
What it does
The mod ports a selection of game rules from newer Minecraft releases into the 1.7.10 game, so that worlds on that version can use settings that the original game did not offer. Each rule is set in the usual game rule menu of the world, and the mod adds no separate screen of its own.
Installation needs Forge for 1.7.10 and UniMixins, which is required on every install. CreateWorldUI is optional and, when present, adds game rule name tooltips and categories to the world creation screen. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Its first file appeared on 2026-08-07 and the latest Forge file, 1.0.1 for 1.7.10, followed on 2026-08-27.

Use cases
Legacy survival worlds
Players who keep a 1.7.10 world can enable newer rules in it without moving to a later version of the game.
Modpacks on 1.7.10
Pack authors who ship rule changes on 1.7.10 can add these backported settings to a pack's default world options.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners running Forge 1.7.10 who want modern game rules in their worlds. Because the environment is client and server, both the server and every player need the mod.
How it compares
Random Game Rules is a Forge and NeoForge mod under the MIT License, released for 1.19.2 – 1.20.6, and it is not open source. It targets a much later game version, so it does not run on 1.7.10. You Died [Backport] is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 that is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it does not change the server. TradeStages Legacy is server-side for Forge 1.12.2 and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
