Description
Retro Tweaks
Tweak your Minecraft and send it back in time! Retro Tweaks is a Minecraft mod designed to allow you to apply tweaks to the game in ways to resemble the older versions. Included are options that can change many elements of the game including but not limited to: lighting, game mechanics, hitbox shapes, block rendering, item rendering, sound cues, etc.
Retro Tweaks does not replace resource packs or data packs. Textures, sounds, loot tables, etc. are much more appropriate to be included in a resource pack like Golden Days or a data pack rather than in a mod.
