Mods for Beta 1.7.3

Most Beta 1.7.3 mods run on a Fabric-style loader. Set one up first, then drop mod jars into the mods folder of your instance.

• Babric Fabric for Beta Minecraft: installer, barn mappings and a b1.7.3 intermediary. The loader most mods on this page expect. babric.github.io

• Beta Evolutions 2Check mods RetroMC's Beta 1.7.3 client, with its own ModLoader-style mod loader. Mods not made for the Beta Evolutions 2 mod loader may not work, so check what a mod was built for. evolutions.retromc.org
• Ornithe Another loader and toolchain for old versions, Beta 1.7.3 included. Some mods here list Ornithe as well as Babric. ornithemc.net

Server plugins, such as Poseidon plugins, are in the Plugins section of the hub. This page is for mods that run in the game client, plus a few that also need installing on a server.

Many mods need one of these installed alongside them. Check each mod's page for what it requires.
