BetterBeta

A (Cursed) Fabric mod for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 that adds some quality of life changes and fixes some issues.

There's a very high change this mod will not work in multiplayer, as of right now it is purely for singleplayer

You can change what fixes get applied using the config found in one of the following paths:

OS	Location
Windows	%appdata%/.minecraft/config/betterbeta.toml
Linux	~/.minecraft/config/betterbeta.toml
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/config/betterbeta.toml

Note that if you're using something like MultiMC or any of its derivates the folder will be in a different location, in those instances simply right click on your profile and click on "Folder", this will open the location where you can find the .minecraft folder and follow the path from above.
