About Legacy4J
From ModrinthThis mod adapts all the features from old Minecraft Legacy Console edition
Legacy4J is a mod about the nostalgia of the old 4J Studios Minecraft Legacy Edition. The main objective of this mod is to remake every aspect of Legacy Console Edition in a near 1:1 way for our current Java Edition versions, adding its exclusive features, and bringing it to modern versions.
This includes accurate controller support, control tooltips, crafting menu, creative flight, gamma shader, hud scaling, the GUI, and more!
Not only that, but several QOL features have been added in addition to those already present in the Legacy Edition, such as Resource Albums, Global Packs, World Templates, an integrated Mods screen, options related to terrain fog and more. You can see more about this on the project wiki!
Feel free to report issues or contribute here, or to use this mod in modpacks!
