Legacy PvP

The 1.7 feeling, back on 1.21+

What we play on🍪

We recommend 1.21.8. It is the closest we have found to a real legacy feeling while staying up to date and fully compatible with the server, and with our config it gets there without downgrading. The whole setup takes about a minute and the video walks through every step of it.

Setup

  1. Install Lunar Client from lunarclient.com.
  2. Open it, go to Versions, pick 1.21.8 and enable the Fabric loader.
  3. Go to Mods, open the Modrinth tab, search Animatium.
  4. Choose Fix Lunar Client Crash, then Next and Install.
  5. Press Win + R and paste %appdata%\.minecraft\config.
  6. Drop animatium.json into that folder.
  7. Launch the game.
  8. In game, open the Lunar mods menu and disable 1.7 Visuals. That is it.
