# ecco’s BetterMC: Bottled fresh since 2024!<\/p>\n
### …but why?
\nI’ve always wanted a vanilla+ style modpack that tries its best to constantly be on the bleeding edge of Minecraft updates, so this is my attempt at making that desire a reality. This is a curated pack of mods that I personally use and enjoy, and as such will follow no stable update cadence; I’ll update things when I get around to it \/ when new major versions of things are available. <\/p>\n
Versions equal to or newer than 0.7 are incompatible with worlds made in 0.6 or older!<\/u> Version incompatibility is a problem I hope to remedy in the near future. If you don’t mind some trial and error, dive in and have fun!<\/p>\n – Essential Dependencies [0] This is a list of mods that I plan on adding when\/if a 1.21.1 compatible version is released.<\/p>\n – Better Combat (planned in 0.8) ## Important!<\/p>\n + Allocate 8GB of memory or more for best results. Less than 8GB may result in “out of memory” crashes. A BetterMC-style pet project with the goal of enhancing the cutting edge of Minecraft release versions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":61297,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"eccos-bettermc","_minecraft_project_id":"vI7TjgnI","_minecraft_author":"ecco","_minecraft_license":"LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved","_minecraft_downloads":727,"_minecraft_follows":0,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"eccos-bettermc.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":1164916993,"_minecraft_version_count":13,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T13:03:19.475772Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2024-08-26T04:01:19.031009Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2024-09-09T19:38:29.752703Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/eccos-bettermc","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":61297,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-03T13:37:41+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"888ecd188d07a566cc0863ebf4dd3b46","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[87,33,97,121,157,122,105,90],"mod_loader":[99],"minecraft_version":[37],"class_list":["post-61296","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-adventure","mod_category-combat","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-kitchen-sink","mod_category-lightweight","mod_category-magic","mod_category-multiplayer","mod_category-optimization","mod_loader-fabric","minecraft_version-1-21-1"],"yoast_head":"\nFull Mod List (0.7.0)<\/summary>\n

\n+ Use JRE (Java Runtime Environment) Version 22. I recommend version 21.0.1 (or newer if available). This can be obtained at [Adoptium.net]([https:\/\/adoptium.net\/temurin\/releases\/?package=jre&os=windows](https:\/\/adoptium.net\/temurin\/releases\/?package=jre&os=any&version=22)). **Be sure to install the** ***JRE***, **not the** ***JDK***. Select your Operating System, download the installer for your OS, and run the downloaded file to install it. Please refer to your launcher’s help resources to ensure you are using the correct version of the JRE.
\n+ Working builds will be marked as either Release or Beta, and broken builds will be marked as Alpha. I’m not perfect, and this is a *very* amateur project.
\n+ If there is enough interest, I’d be down to start up a Discord server for update notifications and troubleshooting. If this is of any interest to you, please send me a direct message request; my username is `.ecco`.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
