Inspired by Exalm's Old Days mod, Nostalgic Tweaks brings back a plethora of classic, alpha, beta, and post-release lost or changed gameplay elements. This mod is intended for nostalgic enthusiasts who want to relive the glory days of Minecraft Java edition by tweaking the mod to their nostalgic preference, or for those who want to give the game a new aesthetic and gameplay style.
Some of the major nostalgic tweaks included are old classic and pre-beta 1.8 light engines, old fog rendering, old sky and void colors, 2D floating items with disabled diffused lighting, old mob spawning, old combat mechanics, old game screens, old C418 music, and so much more! There are currently over 400+ nostalgic tweaks as of 2.0.0-Beta 9 with more on the way!
For the best nostalgic experience, I recommend using the Golden Days resource pack by PoeticRainbow. It comes with an abundance of nostalgic packs, such as an alpha and picture perfect pack which coincides wonderfully with Nostalgic Tweaks. Additionally, use the Modern Beta mod by b3spectacled or Moderner Beta by BlueStaggo for nostalgic terrain generation.
To open the mod's config menu, press O for "Old" while in-game or at the game's title screen. This hotkey can be changed in the vanilla controls menu or in the mod's config menu. If you have Mod Menu installed for Fabric, then you can also access the configuration screen through the Mods button.
Each tweak will have tags above their names in the config menu. Each tag identifies different aspects of each tweak. You can hover your mouse over each tag to see more information as a tooltip. You can favorite the tweak, see its status, modify the client/server value, save, undo, reset, and modernize a tweak within its configuration box.
The config menu comes with searching capabilities. Search queries that are typed into the input box will bring up fuzzy results. This means the mod will attempt to show results that it believes you were trying to search for. You can narrow search results by using Search Tags. To see all the search tags that are available, open the config menu and click the Manage button in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Then go to the Help category and scroll down. Additionally, the bread crumbs that appear at the top of a tweak's configuration box can be clicked to quickly jump to that crumb's section within the config menu.
The config menu also comes with a config management overlay. To open the overlay, click the Manage button in the bottom-left corner of the screen. In this overlay you can create and manage config backup files, create and manage config presets, import and export (client and server) config files, perform server operations on servers with Nostalgic Tweaks installed, and quickly toggle a lot of tweaks all at once. Each section of the overlay comes with a uniquely crafted user interface to assit with tweak and config management.
The config menu also comes with keyboard shortcuts. Ctrl + F focuses the search box, Ctrl + S saves the config menu, Esc exits the config menu, and Ctrl + Left Arrow, Alt + Left Arrow, Ctrl + Right Arrow, or Alt + Right Arrow will change the category group you are in without the need to click on a category button. You can also use the Tab key and Directional Arrow keys to cycle through and navigate the various widgets in the menu. Press the Spacebar key or Enter key to perform an action on the highlighted element.
Yes we do! And this is definitely a place where you can come by to share ideas, report issues, and/or just hangout to see what's new. https://discordapp.com/invite/jWdfVh3
