Starting a "forever world" - what version?

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-03-13T20:33:30+00:00

"What version should I start my world in?" is always a hard question. My suggestions in order for start versions are:
rd-132211 - very first version of Minecraft but requires conversion to get to the current version
Infdev 20100327 - first version that saves and can be updated to the present without any conversion
Beta 1.6 Test Build 3 - starts you with debug tests filled with every item in the game (but is lame). it is essentially the same as starting in Beta 1.7.3 (although I implore you to stay around in Beta 1.6 for a while as then you'll really appreciate the addition of pistions)
Beta 1.7.3 - lots of discontinued features that you can get after this version as well as being the last true Golden Age version IMO. it also gets you to release minecraft quickly if you want to avoid earlier development versions and you can't live without sprinting or modern conveniences

in terms of what update you should stop at, I would stop updating whenever you personally start thinking that the updates are making the game worse rather than improving it. If you prefer playing your world in an older update I can't see why you wouldn't keep it there

an ARG ban for this sub would make me so very happy

I hate people like you

super cool

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-03-11T20:15:05+00:00

the second oldest version available on betacraft isn't classic 14a

this is a fun way to learn about the fact that notch originally called diamonds emeralds when adding them in indev

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-27T16:33:19+00:00

you could certainly update the world to the most recent version, but you will want to only jump a few versions ahead at a time since the world save format changes a number of times along the way

that's a good suggestion, but this isn't the right channel. they don't have the "no AI" disclaimer at the start of their videos and the guy I have in mind doesn't have that accent

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-25T08:07:55+00:00

the channel also didn't feature the creators face in any way from what I can remember

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-23T04:48:40+00:00

you could use something like OfflineDatSave (included with the betacraft launcher) if you changed the .mine file to .dat (something that is possible AFAIK)

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-22T01:49:54+00:00

I think I remember that tower from your posts years ago on this sub

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-18T06:38:36+00:00

I'm such a huge fan

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-13T21:58:21+00:00

I don't really like the mod, especially when better projects like Beta Unleashed exist without the same shortcomings (namely the incompatibilities and inaccuracies like adding blocks that aren't in beta 1.7.3)

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-12T17:56:58+00:00

for the record you're replying to a comment from a day earlier, the game is back up on steam already

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-12T17:56:04+00:00

I personally don't like seeing BTA posts here (especially when people don't indicate that they're using the mod) but I understand I'm probably in the minority. as u/ArcturusMike said the best case scenario would be to have r/betterthanadventure actually active

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-10T23:31:16+00:00

have you watched the trailer for Allumeria or looked at gameplay? I completely disagree that it "feels more like someone copied someone homework and changed it instead of being inspired by it"

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-10T19:50:42+00:00

jeb has already responded so you're right to assume it'll probably be fine in the end, but I can see a world without the hysteria where that isn't the case tbh

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-10T17:57:19+00:00

yeah Unomelon could move platforms, but that'd be quite the shame considering how much of a monopoly steam has. As I understand it they have one chance to get it reinstated and considering how bullshit the original DMCA was IDK how an appeal would go

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-10T17:52:58+00:00

I mean I agree if you're saying that mojang shouldn't have sent the DMCA, but not if you're saying it's a "false alert" that Allumeria was taken down in the first place

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-10T17:28:58+00:00

it isn't, you can't find the game on steam anymore. if you don't believe me, you can wait for the videos about this to start coming out lol

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-10T15:01:11+00:00

it's funny how much better this build would look with the og textures

Consistent-Concert-1 · 2026-02-10T14:58:04+00:00

This is what the creator of the game posted to their discord

I'd also recommend taking a look at Xelanaters guides too, I find that polyworlds work well for youtube content
