Nostalgia Features: Beta
by moonwirer
Nostalgia Features: Beta removes world features that were added after the Beta era, such as kelp seagrass, underwater magma and amethyst geodes, from newly generated terrain.
What it does
Players who want a world closer to the early releases can use Nostalgia Features: Beta to keep later content out of generation. It covers kelp and seagrass, copper ore, flowers added after that period, submerged magma blocks, stone that hides silverfish, geodes of amethyst, glow lichen and bamboo. Structures other than the Stronghold, Nether Fortress and End City are removed as well, and the list can be adjusted.
The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric alone, with 17 release versions across 1.18 – 1.21.1 and the latest file, 1.2.1, built for 1.21.1 on 2024-07-29. The code is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and both source code and an issue tracker are public. The first release appeared on 2024-07-14.
