HyperBeta
by immolatio
HyperBeta is a Java Agent optimization mod for Minecraft 1.6.4 that reproduces the classic Beta gameplay loop, world generation and visual style while keeping modern conveniences.
What it does
The mod's default world generation is replaced with the older Beta noise generation, so classic seeds such as Glacier 404 produce the same terrain as the original release. Vanilla 1.6.4 biomes and structures still generate alongside the classic terrain, and Strongholds remain reachable so players can defeat the Ender Dragon with modern resources.
The mod removes the internal server layer during singleplayer and optimizes rendering, aiming at a lag-free classic experience. Classic textures and sound effects are included, and the animated experience bar hides and unhides in the way the classic HUD does. HyperBeta works with Modern Integration. The code is All rights reserved and not open source. Install it with a Java Agent launcher such as Prism Launcher, then select the HyperBetaMod.zip file to run the game on 1.6.4.
Key features
Classic health and hunger
The hunger bar is reverted to the classic health system, and food restores hearts directly instead of filling a bar.
Controlled food healing
Food stays stackable in the inventory, and healing is limited by a tick-based cooldown so it cannot be spammed.
Classic experience bar
The experience bar uses hiding and unhiding animations that keep the HUD close to the classic look, while the modern eating animation is kept.
Extra video settings
Additional video options are added to the settings screen alongside the optimized rendering.
