Version Builder
Version Builder lets players assemble a custom Minecraft profile by mixing features from different eras, toggling individual features on or off instead of committing to one exact version.
What it does
Rather than starting from a single release, a player switches individual features off or on and combines them into a personal profile. Choices include gear, experimental options, older-style visuals and sounds, and menu styling. A profile can keep modern gameplay with classic textures, or remove certain mobs, structures and items from newer worlds to leave a stripped-down survival experience.
The mod suits anyone who wants to decide which features are present in a world, without installing a full total conversion mod. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. Fabric is the only loader with files, and Fabric API is required, so it must be installed alongside Version Builder.
The build targets Minecraft 1.21.11 only. The latest file is 0.1.0, published 2026-04-14, and the project is all rights reserved, so it is not open source.
