\n– Versions
\n – The 1.20.1 version of the pack is the most accurate, and supports mods like Create which haven’t been updated past 1.20.1 yet. It is the most optimal version of Authentic Beta.<\/p>\n

\n <\/details>\n
\n### Q: Server support?
\nA: Yes! Read the **How to Install** section!<\/p>\n
\nA: Join the **Discord server**, or go to the **Codeberg** page!<\/p>\n
\nA: No, even if you never played Beta you can still enjoy Authentic Beta!<\/p>\n
\nA: No :3<\/p>\n
\nA: Of course! Just credit me and let me know about it, please :3<\/p>\n
\nA: The 1.20.1 version has more accurate mechanics compared to the 1.21.1 version, as KubeJS has not been ported to Fabric 1.21.1.<\/p>\n
\nA: No, and it never really can be. Despite this, I am trying to make it as accurate as I possibly can within my abilities. There are some things I’ve left in intentionally, such as sign editing and inventory QoL, because I feel that it would not be beneficial to remove them for the sake of complete accuracy (although this is always subject to change, mostly depending on how easy it is to change :P).<\/p>\n
