Explore Beta!

Visit the crazy Minecraft world terrain generation as it was in 2011! Fantastical mountains, overhangs, but also its wonderful simplicity and... farlands!?

Beta Gameplay!

From the lack of a hunger bar, to instant bows and nightmares when you sleep in exposed darkness, experience the features that gave beta 1.7.3 its charm!

Beta Assets!

Transform your Minecraft back to beta with all models, textures, sounds, and more visual aspects like fog to match this era of the game! Yes, even the fat chests.

Vanilla Experience!

Little to no commands, no teleporting, just the base game experience of how it was intended to be played. Time to start building that minecart system!

Cross Play!

With modern Minecraft comes modern benefits! For the first time Bedrock Edition can also join the fun and play Beta 1.7.3 along side Java Edition!

What is Modern Beta?

Modern Beta is a recreation of Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 from 2011 in modern Minecraft for both Java and Bedrock Edition! We are utilizing resourcepack, datapack, and server side plugins, creating the easiest way to experience Beta, no third party launchers or mods required! Beta 1.7.3 is widely recognized as the "Golden Age" version of the game due to its simplicity, charm, and lack of "forced goals," so the only goals are the ones made by yourself and your friends.


Our mission is to create a vanilla 2011 Minecraft server experience where you can trust who you play with. We pride ourselves on not using any land claims or locked chests in favor of manual moderation via Discord tickets, action data logging, and rollback tools because we would rather find and remove the bad actors to create and maintain our wonderful community.
