Worldfile has been converted but unfortunately player data (your position and held items) has been scrapped.
NEW chunks will follow the BTA generation and biomes, so there will be a distinct "Old" and "New" world. I think we should make Agoracity in some scenic part of the New world and connect it over rail. The aether has been lost in the move but it should be possible for them to co-exist, but I'll worry about it later. There's plenty to do in TBA.

You can download the Better Than Adventure .zip for Multi/Ultim MC here

The photo mode is great. Looks like switching to BTA messed some things up in my old base, so I might as well relocate to wherever Agoracity is going to be. Is there a location yet?

Not yet. Agorians will have to post scenic screenshots along with POS and then we will choose together. Venture out there ye explorers

fucking bad news bros...

server world has perished
its stuck loading a corrupted chunk

merging the og 173 seed and map to BTA has been minorly problematic for a bit and now it seems it is majorly problematic

Ive been fucking around with previous days backups and walking around its still buggy with chunks failing to load, so it seems inevitable that the world will get corrupt again. Agoracraft will have to be reset. We are moving West from Europe to the new World bros.

First person to reply to this with a <64 character string without any spaces gets to choose the new world seed

Server is back up. Seed spawns us under the water lol, right next to a jungle

Its New Eden

Im going to make some chests and fill it up with building items and tools so agoratown can be built quicker

Is there an overview somewhere of all the functionality Better than Adventure adds?

skeleton spawner not too far from spawn

Been playing on the server. I can't seem to find a jungle though, maybe my render distance is too low. I am just in a mountainous plain area with cherry trees added.

Not to be impolite but what is the appeal of Beta as opposed to the redstone update for example? The only thing I can think of is the lack of a hunger bar.

it's basically not the same game, the game evolved so much that the modern versions just aren't the same game as beta anymore

beta is simpler, don't quite have the same vibe, and for most people on this forum i guess the biggest appeal is like the nostalgia

for me personally it's kind of an ideologic thing, I dislike that the game belongs to Microsoft I think it deserve to belong to the community and that's why I prefer to play on mods/forks rather than official microsoft releases

also the server ain't on Beta but on Better Than Adventure which is a fork of beta and kinda add its own features

The other appeal is that it's a much more of a sandbox. In Minecraft 1.20 you arguably have a very strong sense of progression and a point where you can say you "beat" it. The End/ Achievements/ The Wither. For me another part is that modern Minecraft has so many items and so many systems and mechanics that it gets in the way of just unwinding after a long day of work, and just building something, mining a little bit, gathering some blocks that have to be individually gathered and having a nice comfortable house. More restrictive? Sure. But it's less mess on brain.

It also rewards setting up infrastructure like docks and railroads because Elytra doesn't exist. Also rewards caving because speed mining doesn't exist. If you want to farm things, you still can as there are mob spawning mechanics and mob piping mechanics(see Ethoslab's old letsplay world). For me, it's not nostalgia so much as child-like relaxation

I asked if It's alright to put the IP on the Agora Steam Group and completely forgotten to do so, god damn it. I'll see to it that it'll get put on steam.
