​@@EvilParagon4 The comment that replied to you is wrong, there is currently no port of the Aether to work with BTA. In fact, as of update 1.7.6, BTA is not compatible with any other mods for Beta 1.7.3. However, BTA does have its own small modding community, and a few mods for vanilla b1.7.3 such as Tropicraft HAVE been ported. As I said before though, the Aether hasn't been ported yet, but there is a skylands dimension planned for later BTA versions.

That's the advantage of it being a fork. People can start taking advantage of things like the increased world height and new direction. I have a bit of a dream of making a Rebirth of the Night-like mod for it. Much more simple than RotN but the same goal of making building more purposeful by including a lot of "tower defense" focused blocks and making mobs very capable of reaching you anyways at specific intervals (right when seasons change, conveniently.)

I personally think the best thing about this mod compared to modern Minecraft is that blocks, materials, etc. all have MULTIPLE USES. You brought up the problem of inventory management issues in this mod, which I agree with. But, there are things you can do with each material where there are fun and interesting ways to address it without just simply limiting the amount of blocks in the game. The one that comes to my head right off the bat is The Trommel block that converts dirt blocks and gravel you have lying around into clay balls, pebbles (which can be used to craft more cobblestone) and other light materials. Sure the pebbles and flint and etc. you get from the Trommel could also contribute to the inventory issue but most times I simply craft more cobble or add to my gunpowder reserve from blocks that would of have just sat in a chest in waiting until a big project or something. Modern Minecraft lacks this, and mostly encourages you to simply hoard blocks for no reason other than there isn't much to do outside of very specific interactions or recipes, and Mojang's solution isn't to add interactable blocks like the Trommel, but rather give you more means to store things (Double chests being able to be placed next to each other after the longest time, Shulker boxes, bundles whenever those get finished, etc.) But yeah, great video! Glad you covered this beautiful mod! Hopefully this gets more people involved and servers start up using it :-)

It has truly bloomed with its own vision and offers a completely different experience despite many mistaking it as a Minecraft texturepack + modpack. One playthrough tells you they are nowhere near the same games.

I personally play 1.12.2, cause that's the last release version before the entire game was overhauled, and everything changed, it also has incredible mod support.

Also, congrats on 9k. I really hope you get over 50k by the end of year, hopefully more.

Love your videos. Its so refreshing to see high quality content covering older versions of this game and the mods for them. Please consider making a video on Not So Seecret Saturday sometime!

I just started playing BTA and im having really fun so far, so this was nice to see in my notifications :D. ALSO, don't stop making videos. Your videos are like 9/10 minimum.

This resonates with me a lot. While I started playing in beta 1.8 and bulk of of my playing time was till release 1.6, I quite enjoyed just caving, collecting resources, planned + expanded my house and farmed. My play was a very crafting table + furnace only style. At some point updates felt more like chunks on top of something complete, in a "look at this new thing that spawns in a completely new biome" that has to be by design not be part of the core gameplay since not everyone spawns there.

Excellent coverage of this mod! Your editing/content quality is a pleasant surprise for the channel size. Cannot wait to see what you do in the future. You have definitely earned the subscriptions! :)

Love your videos, they have such a chill vibe and are really easy to consume. The Minecraft content is great, but I would totally be there for any other games you cover in the future. Keep up the great work!

bingus i havent played minecraft in like 6 months, but your videos are always so entertaining and informative that it makes me want to stick around, keep it up & gl on the road to 10k 🎊

i've been starting to feel the want to go back to minecraft how it use to be but at the same time have more, this was perfect to gain knowledge on the mod. Keep doing great pal!

One of the reasons why modern mc updates feel so unfulfilling compared to old ones is because Notch added things "randomly" many old items wouldn't exist in modern mc because they don't go by mojangs design "rules", creeper is example of that, notch made a mistake when he was making pig and instead created creeper with pig skin, which he then created a greenish monster skin and thus became creeper. You wouldn't see something like that in new updates. Another reason is that mojang because souless now and everything they add to mc is designed with kids in mind, updates will always be up, some with more content and some will not much content. "Better than adventure" devs don't have nowhere near as much man power as mojang and yet they poured their heart into this mod, are more connected with playerbase than mojang, who just does rebranding as it wishes and even breaks laws by changing EULA... Even if notch is a shitty person (see what I did there) he shouldn't have sold mc to microsoft. While I love modern minecraft and *most* of it's updates, there's no denying that Mojang has grew disconected from it's fans and became almost souless company that's now trying to actively control everything that has word minecraft in it. (examples new EULA, banning mc content on youtube if they don't like something, telling you how you must use word minecraft, banning mods/servers/plugins with guns, frogs and fireflies, chat monitoring etc.)

This is the first video of yours that I've watched and the intro really tripped me out. My Steam name has been "bingus" for years, and I've learned to respond to that name as if it were my real name through years of voice comms in CS:GO, so being addressed as "bingus" in the intro gave me a bit of a spook lol. This was a really good review, thorough without being exhaustive and dragging on, you laid out the motivation of the devs and their implementation in a concise narrative while also speaking directly to the frustrations I have had with the official versions of the game and how they've diverged from the atmosphere of the retro versions, which I can best describe as "pleasant loneliness".

I remember Better Than Wolves being featured in a lot of minecraft talk and videos when I was only 12 years old in 2011, it's crazy to think that its been at least a decade since I've last heard anything about it and it's legacy lives to this day

i really love your approach to the old minecraft topic and the way youre so passionate about making videos in this regard, please dont get corrupted be the youtube money-and-popularity rush, stay as you are man i subrcribed for the way you are right now and i hope you will keep on going by the character and ideals that youve set for yourself. grow big, dont change ♡

I do like the died wooden planks and different stone types since I’ve used a mod that added new plank variants back in 1.7.3 all those years ago (in fact, you used the newly added stone types to dye the planks). It’s almost kinda nostalgic for me. :P

Interesting that at least a couple of the blocks suggested by FlowerChild were similar to/the same as those that did end up in Minecraft in some capacity

13:30 The entire system presented ironically is wayy more RPG than the RPG stuff from 1.8-Onward

Nice video ,subscribed! Really makes me want to try BTA now as a Retro Minecraft fan. Also I want to point out that the Bloom effect reminds me of the same effect some old Minecraft Machinimas would use. EDIT: I'M ALSO REALLY LOVING YOUR CONTENT SO FAR!

I just played BTA yesterday, I was inspired to do it because I had seen an update video as well as some of your other videos.

BTA saved Minecraft for me, now its the only way i play the game.

unironically got goosebumps at 11:59, the visuals of beta 1.7.3 are unmatched in its style and feels like it plays into its strength, modern MC is just too.. modern for no reason in particular

I had a feeling that the video will be about this mod! I have been playing it for some time and it was fun

Great service. Last night i asked for more videos and you delivered 🤣

Definitely going to check this out. It looks like a really interesting mod.

omfg it actually does look like the legacy console editions, no youre not crazy, as someone that grew up with xbox 360 minecraft from TU1, its my absolute favorite and most nostalgic version ever and i especially liked how it looked and felt in comparison to other versions

I’m surprised they haven’t added more golems or tried to add more crop varieties into the game. Kinda feels like they’re adding in half baked mechanics and then moving onto the next half baked mechanic. I like modern Minecraft but modern Minecraft lacks a lot of fluidity compared to older versions.

I've been hosting a small better than adventure server for a group of friends for about a week. It as been a very refreshing experience to relive the classic experience, but to also have the feeling mystery that comes with all the new additions! We explored one of the labyrinths and it was much better and engaging than any current structures, but it was also very simple at the same time.

As far as armor went, I had a similar idea that gave armors different combat damage types similar to what you would see in D&D (Slashing, Piercing and Bludgeoning damage) to validate lower tier armors. Glad to see someone had a like-minded concept on armor revamps.

Important thing to say, this mod brings Java 17 to Beta 1.7.3, so that players don't have to download an old LTS version of Java to play it!

binguschondo with another banger, how isnt this channel more well-known?

Honestly, Minecraft updates for me became very overwhelming as a part-time player who plays the game just once in a uncertain time period. I started to play it at versions 1.4 and after 1.9 the feature set started to rise so rapidly that I don't know what I have to prioritize during normal survival gameplay after you have established with basic resources, yet after the endgame you're being given many overpowered items which may be unclear on how to obtain without scrolling through the guides or just time consuming and frankly doesn't make me feel rewarded after getting them, yet the QoL improvements of modern versions make me feel like older versions are "literally unplayable", or at least uncomfortable when doing regular stuff. Playing Beta and BTA reminded me of playing the Pocket edition 0.5.X back in the day which is the most enjoying experience of Minecraft I've ever had yet it's not limited to the world size and has some own additions to the game and I finally kinda enjoyed playing Minecraft after a long while

I've seen this mod being metioned on MinecraftForums and I didn't think anything of it. But seeing this review made me check it out with a different perspective

most underrated minecraft channel ong. I don't really even play it anymore but I still love the nestalgia of it.

Excellent video, Mr Not-A-Minecraft-Channel. I have yet to play this mod. I don't tend to play modded. Might just after this.

I remember when you said that this channel won't be about minecraft and 7 out of 8 of your videos are Minecraft related XD I just want to see more content from you about other themes like that "Games that Feel like Dreams" video

bro looks like he came straight out of the beegees

I recently started playing vanilla beta 1.7.3 and I can honestly say that it’s very refreshing to go back and play and it’s just more exciting just the feeling of dying is scary again unlike in modern Minecraft it doesn’t feel like there’s any threat in the game like it does in beta

Unironically nice content man I really like this channel

The way the armor types and tool tiers are implemented are such unique and creative ways to make the game interesting and fun. It allows players to utilize almost all types of tools and armor and not just stick to the most durable like in vanilla minecraft. I also absolutely love how color grading and bloom are implemented!

I just saw the two update videos on their channel, and man... if I had a computer, I feel like I'd try this.

I do agree on the multiple planks thing, i like having multiple plank ootions such as acacia, but not really in a beta-esque setting.

I started playing at 1.7.10. I really like that version and still play it from time to time. A mod like that for that version would be nice.

Better than wolves is my most favorite mod, it has really well paced progression and a steep challenge without feeling something cluged onto minecraft. I still remember the first time i played it when i was a kid.

this looks great! does anyone know if there's a texture pack to make it look more like modern minecraft? I prefer the look of new minecraft but the feel of old minecraft

It’s also interesting to note that, aside from the 4 enemy mobs, and the hell dimension added by a Halloween update which had no purpose beside being a cool Easter egg, the game was going for pure realism, and 1.8 and beyond was when it moved away from that with potions, the end, enchanting etc.

This is my favourite mod! I always cry when I play it.

I didn't think Adventure was a bad idea, but it wasn't executed the best it could be. Minecraft always felt best when it felt like *your* toybox, when you were the only person in a hostile world that you could tame. Villages would have been cool as like a surface level dungeon and rather than being populated by Testificates, it had zombies in the buildings or something. If Better Than Adventure manages to find a way to incorporate the best elements of the Adventure update into Beta Minecraft, then it'll truly be a mod for the ages, because it's almost perfect right now.

As someone who started Minecraft during the beta days but loves what Minecraft has become and enjoys heavily modded Minecraft as well, I can tell BTA would not be for me. But seeing a project like this gain traction has me excited for all you folks out there who *do* enjoy this kind of experience! This video was a very interesting watch, even though I probably won't play BTA myself :)

As a 1.5k hour tf2 player I didn't even need to see the reference clip to get the reference. just heard "crouching seems to make it better" and instantly knew where they got the idea.

i can tell that your channel will be huge in like a year and i fear it

I think we're handily at the point that playing these different versions is a lot more like playing a game and its sequel than the same game. We can appreciate some choices, disagree with others, but ultimately be overjoyed that we get two fantastic games to play depending on the mood we're in. Everything I've heard about BTA has been pretty awesome, so I can't wait to give it a try myself.

very nice, loving the minecraft vids.

Y'know, as I was watching that section about Better than Wolves (the warning to Notch about including wolves in particular), something occurred to me. From what I understood, the issue that FlowerChild had was about pets, their inclusion and how difficult and time-consuming it would be to create proper AI for them so that they do not feel intrusive to the player but also simultaneously provide entertainment and interest with their behaviors. What jumped out at me was that these issues weren't about wolves specifically, which makes me wonder... why not make Better Wolves? As in, a kind of hostile mob that appears in packs and will attack the player if they approach, but could be bribed by tossing bones or food (specifically kinds of meat) to become neutral while they're occupied and perhaps for a little while thereafter (sort of a grace period so that players aren't getting swarmed every few minutes by the same pack of wolves that they just fed). That way, the wolves would act as a genuine obstacle to the player, either through being a dangerous hostile mob that appears in packs and can easily swarm an unprepared player OR through forcing players to give up valuable healing items or resources in order to avoid a confrontation. In other words, adding to the core gameplay experience of exploration, hence justifying their inclusion.

i really want to see this mod but with some stuff from the actual game such as shields, sweeping edge, elytra, etc.

Great review!

A few things I’ve seen in this mod do feel abit bloaty? Like a few features here and there that in my mind exhibit the same problem that produced things like the adventure update and especially modern updates to begin with Adding features that are so disconnected from the central mechanics as to bloat the game with unnecessary features. In BTA those are things like painted wood, there’s like a sieve thing and pebbles and all this stuff that isn’t really necessary However it does do a lot right as well. So I’m kind of on the fence with how I feel about the mod. If I ever took up such a project myself I’d do many things differently but probably also take much inspiration I like the concept of replacing enchantment with properties of materials. That’s a cool idea to me. In some ways magic doesn’t fit beta Minecraft, so making it a mundane thing that’s part of the preexisting system instead of creating a whole new non-thematic subsystem makes a lot of sense. I feel like the enchanting system in practice feels like a prerequisite before you can actually do what you want. You need an xp farm so you can get all the enchantments you want so you can go off and do your projects. But in beta people were used to “you can get started on your project as soon as you load in if you want” The constant adding of subsystems and pointless knobs to turn is anathema to the game in this way. I don’t want the way I play to be complicated more and more with each update. I don’t want the game to be telling me directly or indirectly “you have to do this thing” because again it misses the point And when I see BTA do some things that are straying into that territory I fear it becoming what Better than Wolves became over the years. Just as bloated as the modern game but in a different way.

I really believe anything's possible so long as you put your mind to it!

11:00 yes i see it too. As an og console player this is so great. BTA feels almost like an official fork of mc. And i love it more than mojang's current versions.

Thank you for this video, i rediscovered this mod recently, and now i'm modding this mod... we are a group of dedicated people who love beta minecraft and we love porting already known mods to BTA, exemples are RetroStorage (Ae2 but easier) FluidAPI for mods including fluids and (mine) BTWaila that port WAILA a modern mod. there is a lot of other mods already done, and hopefully one day we will be able to make modpacks out of it ;D Thank you for this video again, BTA has a Discord server you can join ;D Have fun

that's cool as hell man

Hi guys, wanted to play beta 1.7.3 recently for nostalgia vibe, but it's running pretty bad without vsync. Is there a way to enable it?
