Re-Console is a modpack meant to not just re-create Legacy Console Edition entirely from scratch, but expand on top of it with modern Java Edition QoL and features. From OptiFine Parity, to BetterGrass, and a whole lot more!
Thanks to mods such as Legacy4J and Minimega, everything from the washed-out (if desired) gamma, easy to navigate crafting interface, and controller input, to the Texture Packs, Skin Packs, Mash-Up Worlds and Mini Games, are all accessible right out of the box!
As of Re-Console+ 26.x, Re-Console even now features proper Limited World Generation!
As of writing, features contributing to the "complete experience" (i.e. working tutorial system and console-style global achievements) are already under development for Re-Console+.
Don't worry, the features mentioned above are 100% playable!
On top of these fundamental LCE features, Re-Console also adds plenty of custom Texture Packs, OptiFine features such as Better Grass, dynamic lighting and built-in shader packs, Bedrock-style bridging, and more!
With the help of some of Minecraft's best optimization mods, we've been able to squeeze out performance that far exceeds what the vanilla game gives you, and maintains the "Always 60FPS" vision of LCE (though with considerably more frames than that)
At times, Re-Console can even match, or exceed dedicated Performance Modpacks, as it utilizes its own unique performance stack!
Whenever a major functional part of the modpack is updates, whether it be a resource pack or gameplay mod, we ready ourselves to do the same. Though, not everything will be guaranteed an update within the pack if it breaks functionality, so our update strategy is quick and simple, yet remains methodical.
Re-Console comes built in with the Re-Console SMP, our officially run Survival Multiplayer Server, with an active community and active updates!
Re-Console is comprised of only open-source or source-available mods, which gives you the ability to see the code and contribute to the mods in the pack. The modpack is also available on Codeberg as a packwiz project.
Modern Re-Console is a significant evolution from the initial Re-Console. However, we still continue to maintain those original versions with bug-fixes, occasional feature backports, and other features from modern Re-Console+ versions.
