Simply Legacy is a modpack designed to bring the experience of Minecraft's Legacy Console Edition to a more up-to-date version of the game, acting as a vision of what the game would've looked like if it continued to get content updates to this day.
The Reverie Projects Discord is the best place for nostalgia-based projects like Re-Console, Nostalgic Tweaks, Moderner Beta, and much more! Here you can discuss anything related to our organizations projects, interact with the community or talk about programming!
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 writing, features contributing to the "complete experience" (i.e. working tutorial system, console-style global achievements) are being considered or are already under development.
Don't worry, the features mentioned above are 100% playable!
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 (with even more frames to spare!)
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.
Simply Legacy comes with servers from the Re-Console Network built-in! Whether you want to chill out (or not) in Survival, build in Creative, or let loose in Anarchy, there's always room for play, with a very vibrant community of players, and frequent updates for your convenience and enjoyment!
Simply Legacy is comprised of only open-source or source-available mods, giving you the ability to see the code and contribute to the mods in the pack. The modpack itself (config files and project info) is available on our Forgejo instance as a packwand project.
