A port of Modern Beta Fabric for Forge 1.12.2!
Enjoy all the toggle-able features of Minecraft 1.12.2 with the faithful re-implementation of the Beta, Alpha, Infdev, and Indev terrain generators. Originally done for a friend's server but now expanded on to match the original Fabric version in feature parity plus additional improvements/fixes. Please don't expect updates beyond bugfixes and minor improvements if I feel like it.

Server Usage
The following should be done in the server.properties file:
- Set the 'levelType' field to 'modernbeta', without the quotes.
- Set generation options in the 'generator-settings' field. You can create the generator options string using the in-game GUI.
Mod Support
Additional support is provided for these mods:
- Biomes O' Plenty
- Buildcraft Energy
- Dynamic Trees
- Future MC
- Millénaire - Download config files here
- Thaumcraft
- Yung's Better Mineshafts
These mods are known to cause issues:
- Galacticraft - Sky/Fog visual features will be disabled when this is installed.
- Muon - This mod is incompatible.
- Cave Generator - If you are experiencing tick/entity lag, please disable all biome replacement options to improve performance.
- CubicChunks - This mod is incompatible.
Add-ons
Modern Beta supports custom add-ons. Here are a few:
- Modern Beta Forge Release Plus - Adds biome generators from late Beta to early Release versions of Minecraft.
- Modern Beta Forge Islands - Adds island generation for several terrain generators.
- Modern Beta Forge Rivers - Adds river generation for several terrain generators.
- Modern Beta Forge Voronoi Climates - Adds biome generation with customizable biome maps and a visual editor.
I personally hate that 1.12.2 menus render at 30 fps, especially when adjusting Modern Beta world settings, here's another mod of mine to fix that:
Preset Note
For accurate generation for non-Beta chunk sources, please select from the built-in presets first; simply changing the chunk source will not accordingly update the needed noise settings.
Why no Forge version for current versions of Minecraft?
I have no plans on working on current versions of Minecraft at the moment. Please take a look at Moderner Beta for an alternative!
