Disclaimers

Beta Rebuilt was made for 26. 2 ONLY

I do not intend on keeping this pack supported for later versions, though that is subject to change.

Do not use this datapack on existing worlds. This datapack is intended as a stand alone experience which heavily overwrites vanilla features. I cannot guarantee compatibility with any other mods/datapacks that modify terrain generation, biomes, structures, loot tables, or gameplay mechanics. Client-side mods are probably fine.
