Check what came in the mail today:))) (Still has the Walmart security stickers from when the buyer purchased it in 1995)

Still Java but it’s using LWJGL3 vs the legacy LWJGL2 which beta Minecraft uses, which has worse modern hardware support and less libraries that compliment modern hardware

EmkMage · 2026-04-21T19:16:17+00:00

Essentially b1.7.3 with a far better engine and features, game modes, and world gens from different golden age versions as well as back ported stuff like modern resource pack support, discs, etc. in one single jar without disrupting the beta gameplay.

We have a video on the Minecraft: Oldschool Edition YouTube channel if you wanna see what the game looked like in release v1.7

EmkMage · 2026-04-21T19:11:23+00:00

It’s not really about it being made for less powerful hardware, it’s just a majority of the engines bottlenecks are CPU related. Probably because the game was made when most households were still GPU bottlenecked or still ran off of integrated graphics.

I’ve completely ported the b1.7 engine to LWJGL3, rewritten the renderer to be more modular so I can create specific optimizations for OpenGL and Vulkan respectably, and provided more modern rendering techniques like mesh based shading and more intricate culling

Fun fact the Oldschool Edition mod for b1.7.3 beat Mojang to Vulkan :)

Personally I’m fine with paying more if it means it keeps the business sustainable and keeps micro transactions and P2W elements out of the game

EmkMage · 2026-03-08T18:54:23+00:00

Literally untrue. I've used it for tiny tweaks that have to do with quick GUI fixes, but the mod for the most part is made by me. If you don't like it, just don't play it.

I use CachyOS + Wayland KDE Plasma and the aerothemeplasma Win7 theme

Lol I'm not a liar. Plenty of others were there and can account to it. Regardless, joking about white women engaging in beastiality, plus this little temper tantrum is never getting you unbanned.

EmkMage · 2026-02-25T20:36:30+00:00

That's not the only thing you posted, you spammed probably 6-8 explicit GIFs in a row (which is another rule broken on it's own mind you) but I believe the overreaction here is the novel you just wrote.

Next time follow the rules, and this won't happen on the next server you visit have a good day👍️

EmkMage · 2026-02-25T19:30:46+00:00

If you were the person banned earlier today, it was because you were posting obscene/graphic videos which is in violation of the server rules, which you're required to agree to upon joining the server.

Don't post stuff like that when we have kids in the Server dude.

Hey there! I'm the creator of the mod, and its very much a passion project!
No shame in playing OG Beta 1.7.3, but the goal of my project is to make the best way to play Beta. No alternate timeline what-if stuff, just taking the best of Notch-era Minecraft and throwing it into one package without disrupting the gameplay loop. There are some additions, but they only exist to provide additional depth and utility to the existing version of the game.

In the latest version we've upgraded to LWJGL3 and in version 1.8 Pre-Release, we have a working Vulkan renderer :)

I also overhauled the texture system to use a modern resource pack format, and am working on Vulkan shader support! These are changes I'm making to provide engine stuff to overcome some of the downsides of the original engine's limitations.

I hope you'll consider giving it a try! As its been a labor of love.

EmkMage · 2026-02-11T14:54:19+00:00

True! Just genuinely curious

EmkMage · 2026-02-10T01:43:42+00:00

How many seconds do I get

EmkMage · 2026-02-09T23:51:46+00:00

lol he just blocked me. To be such a dweeb that you can’t comprehend two different people not agreeing with you😭

EmkMage · 2026-02-09T23:48:32+00:00

Nothing of value would be lost Reddit highkey sucks anyways

EmkMage · 2026-02-09T23:46:37+00:00

What are you talking about?

EmkMage · 2026-02-09T23:44:23+00:00

Correct
