    Compatible with 1.16.4 and above!
    Check out my Github page for updates and issue tracking!

    Overview
    Neo-Beta Plus is a branch of my previous datapack Neo-Beta that attempts to bring beta 1.7.3 styled terrain and biomes in the modern versions with modern structures, blocks and mobs

    Includes All classic beta biomes such as seasonal forests, shrublands and rain forests and updates them with modern blocks, mobs and structures.

    The clean looking beta-beaches and sprawling mountain ranges from the older versions have also been recreated.

    Includes brand new, and heavily updated biomes based on pre-releases and images of early beta 1.8

    Neo-Beta Plus: Beta 1.7.3-style terrain, with modern structures, blocks and mobs Minecraft Data Pack

    How to install
    1. Download the attached .zip file and extract it (IMPORTANT).
    2. In Minecraft, click 'create new world' and click on 'datapacks' in the world creation screen
    3. Drag the 'neo-beta-plus-pack' folder contained inside the folder you extracted into Minecraft.
    4. Click on the datapack icon to move it over to the 'selected' tab
    5. Click done then click create new world.
    To change seed:
    Currently the custom-world options do not allow for random seeds, the seed you spawn with in the default pack is seed 0 but if you'd like a custom seed, follow these steps
    1. In the neo-beta-plus-pack folder go to data/minecraft/dimension and open "overworld.json" in a text editor of your choice
    2. In the json file there should be two annotated tags called "seed". Change both to whatever seed you wish to generate (DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE OR REMOVE THE TAGS).
    3. Save and exit and re-add the pack to a new Minecraft world. Your seed will have been applied.
    Note
    Pack is currently unfinished as are Minecraft's custom dimension settings soexpect things to change come later versions and snapshots. Feedback andsuggestions for new features are welcome as well as bug reports. Thanks and enjoy! :)

    its says for me (1.17.1) that the datapack validation failed and also FYI I changed the pack format from 6 to 7 so 1.17 could run it

    Hello !

    Thanks for the awesome mod ! The terrain itself is close to perfection, but I feel like new biomes are almost gone or loose their uniqueness. Rainforest doesnt have huge and dense trees anymore, Swamp lost its dark desaturated colors for exemple

    Is there a way to keep the terrain generation the same ( blocs placements), but retain all the components of the news biomes and not having biomes that are "too" much beta ?

    Something close to how these presets worked back in the day : www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/seeds/customised-worlds/197244-minecraft-beta-customized-terrain-generator-preset

    i am deffinitely planing to Stream a playthrough using This preset in the near future, as i am absolutely in love with it.

    although id like to ask if its possible to edit or remove Biomes such as the River, as it currently cuts through everything a bit too much for my taste :D

    I thought i removed rivers..? you may be using an older version if you're getting them because i agree with you that they're a bit ugly so i took them out. try a newer version if you get the chance, they should be available on my github

    thank you, i was indeed using an older version, presumably from the minecraftforums thread, my bad.

    i was wondering if there is any way for us to remove or edit the existing biomes in your preset, as there are some biomes that id like to be removed, without bothering you to make different versions ^^

    Firstly, I love this pack! This really brings me back to when I was younger! I do have a question however, Im seeing soul sand in random patches and beaches all around the map... is this normal? if so is there anyway to remove these from the game?

    its unintentional but it can happen. I haven't found a good way to completely remove the soul sand yet but I'm working on it. I'll try and get a more definitive patch out when i update to 1.17
