Paladin Ryan – This is the Craziest Old Minecraft Mod Trilogy EVER Made

What comes to mind when you think of great  trilogies in history? Maybe you think of the   original Star Wars trilogy, or Lord of the Rings,  or in gaming – the Witcher, or the original mass   effect trilogy. Something that likely DOESN’T come  to mind is a trilogy involving Minecraft. However,  

As of a few weeks ago, that all changed. I have  been waiting for this for a long time, and now   the greatest old Minecraft mod trilogy has finally  been fully released and I can make this video. I   am talking about Legacy+, a series of 3 of the  most comprehensive and unbelievably detailed old  

Minecraft mods ever made. And when I say old, I  don’t mean the normal golden age era modding of   alpha and beta minecraft, no, legacy+ features  mods for the earliest versions of Minecraft –   Classic, Indev, and Infdev respectively. Now,  that’s what makes these mods so special. Most  

Of the golden age community is so focused on  Alpha and beta, that these old versions often   get lost in memory. However, the legacy+ mod team,  comprised of 12 people, has brought them back into   the spotlight. And I can safely say that for each  of those 3 version eras of minecraft, legacy+ will  

Likely be the most extensive modifications to  those old versions for the rest of forever.   Don’t believe me? Well, let’s go through  each of the mods in the trilogy – classic+,   indev+, and infdev+ – and I promise you, you  will be on my side at the end of the video.

Let’s start with classic+, which is obviously a  mod for minecraft classic, specifically classic   version 0.30. So, given that these mods have  a ridiculous amount of changes and features,   we won’t go through all of them to avoid a 6  hour long video, but in the description I’ve  

Linked a couple documents that details all of the  features in them. You can also join the Legacy+   discord to see all mod information and changelogs.  Anyway, classic+ completely revitalizes minecraft   classic to make it an extensive experience. For  starters, vanilla classic is usually remembered  

As the original creative mode, but classic+ adds  3 new game modes. Let’s start with survival. You   may remember minecraft’s survival test, which was  the brief couple versions where Notch tested out   combat and slow block breaking and the first  versions of the inventory. Classic+ survival  

Is similar, but features many improvements to  survival test to give it a polished feel. For   example, working armor dropped by armored mobs,  different difficulties including hardcore mode,   and a points system, similar to experience, to buy  various “powerups”, which are similar to modern  

Vanilla minecraft enchantments or potion effects.  Some power ups include speed, regeneration,   mining haste, and silk touch. There are also a few  new mobs to find – bunnies and slimes have been   reintroduced to classic, and there is a secret  boss mob that I won’t spoil how to find. Also,  

The inventory and crafting systems in classic+  are entirely custom. You can get a “crafter”   by pressing C with 4 planks in your inventory,  then placing it, then, and this is really cool,   you craft things by placing the combinations  of blocks on top of the crafter. For example,  

Wool and a flower placed on top will give you  colored wool. So, the next game mode is Arcade.   It’s a mob wave minigame where mobs spawn in  5 minute waves, that get progressively more   difficult as time goes on. Between each wave there  is a 3 minute grace period to stock back up on  

Resources and prepare for the next wave. It’s  a fun way to take a break from normal minecraft   mechanics, and it’s fun to try and beat high  scores. And lastly, spectator mode is added,   which can be accessed via command, or when you  die in arcade mode or hardcore survival. Pretty  

Self explanatory. As far as creative mode goes,  there are quite a few improvements from vanilla   classic as well. If you didn’t know, flying  didn’t exist, so classic+ adds an easy flying   system. There are singleplayer commands built  in, recognizable things like /give and /gamemode,  

And also world edit-like ones like /fill. And  one of the most fun things to use in creative   is the explosive arrow feature by pressing tab,  which launches projectile explosives to quickly   clear terrain. Or the bio-nuke, which kills  all living entities in the level. So moving on,  

To spice things up, there are different world  generation types to choose from if you’re so   inclined. Things like island, desert, forest,  or wasteland types. And furthermore in the world   generation realm, you can choose your world  size, from tiny 64×64 to ginormous 1024×1024.  

Classic+ also has over 100 new blocks,  from decoration blocks like cedar wood,   cherry wood, moss, and candles. To more utility  items like lava sponges, jump pads, and barrels,   which are like little shulker boxes. A full list  can be found on the classic+ features document in  

The description. The final thing I’ll talk about  is the changes to classic multiplayer. Vanilla   classic 0.30 multiplayer exists and works to  this day, but from a server side perspective   is extremely limited and basic. Classic+ adds many  commands we take for granted today back into the  

Game, and also features survival multiplayer  functionality. Not only that, but some server   quality of life functions are implemented, such as  spawn protection, working server authentication,   muting players, and different colored names  for server OPs. If you can believe it,  

I am just scratching the surface of the mod here,  so if you’re looking to relive the old days of   classic with some quality of life upgrades,  or try out a new form of minecraft altogether,   give classic+ a try and see how much it has  to offer. It’s truly mind blowing honestly.

If you thought classic+ looks crazy and extensive,  buckle in for indev+, the second installment of   the trilogy. Get ready for the destruction of  boring vanilla minecraft steve, because at the   beginning, you create a character. Your character  determines a few things about how the game will  

Go – you can choose game rule type things like  keep inventory and difficulty. Each character can   have their own custom skin, up to 5 characters  total. Now, characters keep their progress and   inventories across the game, so if you have  two worlds with one character – you can switch  

Between them, bringing all items over to the other  world. It’s important to note though that this   only works if the world matches the rules you set  for the character, so if you have a creative only   character they cannot join a survival world.  This is a super neat way to spice things up,  

As say you need some wood in a desert dominated  world, you can transfer materials that way. Or   create any number of rules and restrictions for  yourself. Similar to classic+, indev+ features 3   gamemodes – creative, survival, and hardcore, all  of which are self explanatory. As far as world  

Types goes, the mod expands on it drastically from  classic+, featuring an extensive world type list,   with subsequent world themes to go along with it.  So like, a floating world type combined with a   shroomland theme gives floating mushroom islands  for example. Super fun to mess around with. There  

Are 30 day long season cycles, each with their  own unique features, weather, and environmental   factors. For example in winter, crop growing times  are longer, and days are shorter. Each season has   its own custom weather added as well. Summer is  the only time you can experience a thunderstorm.  

In autumn, there is wind, which causes really  cool effects, like blowing projectiles and   dropped items. Winter has a foggy effect that  reduces visibility, making that season even more   difficult to endure. Rain can happen in spring as  well as summer and autumn, but obviously winter  

Means snow. And also, custom weather changes  depending on the world type – there are sandstorms   in desert worlds, ashfall and blood rain in hell  worlds. Blood rain is crazy by the way, it damages   the player and all passive mobs unless you have a  special ring equipped to protect yourself from it.  

So let’s talk about the things that make  indev+ incredibly difficult, because my gosh,   unless you tailor it specifically to be easy, it  is difficult. Throughout the game, assuming you   aren’t on peaceful mode, there is a 10% chance  for a blood moon to occur at night. During a  

Blood moon, mob spawn rates are increased, more  of those mobs will be armored, and literal giants   will spawn. Which yeah, if you didn’t know,  giants, or zombie models scaled up times 100,   were actually in the vanilla game for a very long  time. They obviously were never implemented but  

You could spawn them with commands. Indev+ brings  giants into the game during these blood moons.   They are tough, but if you manage to defeat one,  you can get adminium, which is the most powerful   custom resource in the game, required for all late  game items. Which, speaking of custom resources,  

There are dozens of new blocks, items, and tools.  Like, literally over a HUNDRED new things. From   charms to new weapon types to new ore to quivers.  Some are modern minecraft things brought back into   indev. We don’t have nearly enough time to go  through all of them, but i’ll show off some of  

The notable ones. Firstly, cogs, aka the original  redstone notch created way back when, are made   fully functional. You can use generators which  are the equivalent to redstone blocks or torches,   transformers which are like repeaters, and other  things to make functional circuits and power. The  

Cool thing is, cogs can work vertically, so no  need to make wonky looking redstone builds to get   power upward, cogs just do it. There are two new  ores in the game, one is emerald, which doesn’t   function as normal emeralds in today’s minecraft.  It is used to create tools that are in between  

Iron and diamond tier in terms of durability,  with the catch that emerald is required to mine   diamonds. Adminium is the other new ore, and this  doesn’t have tools and armor associated with it,   but it is used to craft super powerful items, such  as hellfire arrows or the adminium shield, or one  

Of my favorite items in the mod – adminium chests.  These chests function similar to ender chests,   but instead of holding items between dimensions,  it holds the items per character. So, going back   to what I said earlier about characters being able  to switch worlds and having their own rules, the  

Adminium chests are a way to store items across  each character’s worlds. So say your survival   character has two worlds, you can access the  same adminium chest contents from both of those   worlds. Just such a cool idea. One of my favorite  special pieces of armor are the skyrunner’s boots,  

Which increases speed, jump height, and allows you  to glide. It feels weird to have such whimsical   powers in a very buggy, choppy, ancient version  like indev. But it works so well and I love   it. And that’s just scratching the surface, there  are tons more obviously. From new types of wood,  

To an insane amount of decoration blocks,  lanterns, and flowers. The full list of new   items can be found on a public indev+ google  doc I’ve linked below. What’s cool too is   there’s a recipe book system, but it doesn’t  hold your hand too much. You have to craft  

The items first to unlock and see the recipes, to  preserve the discovery aspect. Moving onto mobs,   back in vanilla indev, there were the classic  zombies, skeletons, spiders, and creepers as   hostile mobs, and pigs and sheep as the sole  passive mobs. Indev+ adds so many new mobs,  

Like bringing cows back into this version. It also  adds ducks, which are just so cute. There are tons   of world type specific mobs, like in the desert  world type, there are antlions and mummies, which   are like modern minecraft husks. Or in floating  worlds, there are harpies that are like ghasts  

But shoot feathers. These harpy feathers can be  used to make the skyrunner boots I mentioned a   bit ago. The seas come to life, with the addition  of fish and jellyfish, which sting the player if   you touch them. There are a few more new mobs  that I’ll leave you to discover for yourself.  

And speaking of discovering for yourself, there  are 50 achievements and 34 difficult challenges   to complete, each with their own requirements and  twists. What’s cool about them is they serve as   almost a pseudo tutorial, teaching you things  about the mod as you progress. And lastly, the  

Mod comes with a ton of different quality of life  improvements to indev, which desperately needs   them. Sneaking, crawling, and swimming were all  implemented, making things much easier in terms of   maneuverability. Pick block and flight in creative  mode. Shift click in the inventory and crafting,  

Right click to equip. All the way down to things  like a fancy painting GUI that allows you to   select what painting you want before placing, and  the front facing camera view, as well as fixing   a bazillion bugs that were present in vanilla  indev, one of the buggiest yet charming times  

In all of minecraft. Oh and I almost forgot. It  has MULTIPLAYER SUPPORT. MULTIPLAYER. IN INDEV.   WHAT. Okay, whew. That was a lot told to you  extremely fast. To sum it all up in a nicely   wrapped package, I just really, really think you  need to try indev+ for yourself. I could talk at  

You about it for hours and it still wouldn’t do  it justice. I was absolutely mind blown checking   this stuff out. I never thought clunky old  indev could become something so beautiful. So, rounding out the epic conclusion to an epic  trilogy is, you guessed it, Infdev+. Obviously,  

Infdev+ expands on the first version of minecraft  to ever feature the near-infinite world generation   we know and enjoy today – Minecraft infdev. Now  like I said in the intro, infdev+ JUST came out   and is in version 0.1 at the time of this video’s  release. There’s not an insane amount released yet  

Like the first two trilogy installments, but I  did get the blessing to test out the upcoming   version 0.2, as well as some insider info from  one of the developers on some extremely exciting   and ambitious future plans which we’ll go over  toward the end. While classic+’s theme is to  

Create, expanding the creative capabilities of  minecraft classic and really fitting into the   theme of minecraft’s earliest builds, and while  indev+’s theme is to survive, making survival   more challenging and rewarding as you saw in the  last section, infdev+ takes a bit of a different  

Approach. It works alongside Minecraft’s new  infinite generation and focuses on expanding   exploration and incentivizing players to get  out and explore the new terrain. Which is sweet,   because I remember when infdev came out and that’s  all people really did. Just explore the new world  

Changes and see what new terrain would pop up just  beyond the fog. In infdev+’s current early stage   of version 0.1, it is beginning to shape up that  way really nicely. Firstly and simply, the block   limit height has been increased to 256, which was  adapted into the terrain generator for some almost  

Beta-like mountainous terrain generation. I mean,  that alone makes it fun to explore. There are a   few world types currently in, default, which is a  mod-enhanced version of infdev terrain, superflat,   vanilla, which is the infdev terrain we know and  love, and classic, which is kind of a combination  

Of older terrain with infinite generation. It  adds cows and chickens back into this version,   similar to indev+. There are tons of  immersive options and features as well,   such as improved graphics settings never  seen in infdev, tons of particle effects,  

Cave music and cave sounds, the famous fluff.png  as the cloud texture, and beautiful sunsets.   Now 0.2 is coming soon, and may already be  released by the time you’re watching this. Like   I said a minute ago, I was given the opportunity  to test it out early, and it was amazing. This  

Really shows the exploration focused path the mod  is taking. There are abandoned villages to find,   and enhanced dungeons. Exploration themed items  added from later versions of minecraft back into   infdev, like boats, maps, compasses. And  unlike the first two mods, infdev+ will  

Feature a fully functional sprint mechanic, using  a stamina bar that allows for a 5 second sprint,   then a 5 second cooldown before you can sprint  again. Things go beyond just exploration though,   as there is a big focus on expanding the  very limited building capabilities we used  

To have in infdev. Infdev+ will add super cool  decorative things like tables and chairs, windows,   flower pots, stained glass, stripped logs and path  blocks. And that’s not all, a full roadmap can be   found in the legacy+ discord server with all the  upcoming features. In the future past version 0.2,  

There will be an insane amount of things  coming, like two brand new dimensions,   which are inspired by the nether and aether,  each with their own unique items, dungeons,   and mobs. Biomes will be added, also with extra  new blocks and dungeons. So many cool things are  

Coming, so again, please follow this mod if you’re  interested. There’s a huge team working on it,   and they are pumping out updates insanely fast,  so hold onto your pants. If you didn’t know this   about me – infdev was actually the first Minecraft  version I ever played back in the day, so to see  

A team of mod developers taking the time to polish  it and give it tons of love is very special to me. I just want to quickly summarize a few  of the common themes throughout the three   mods because I think it’s cool to see some  of the continuity through each. Firstly,  

Each one has its own custom soundtrack, written by  golden age modding community member and longtime   friend of legacy+ Soybean_56, who composes his  own insanely good music, inspired by the work   of minecraft composer legend c418. I highly  recommend checking out his stuff, you won’t  

Be disappointed. This is one of the only mods,  let alone mod series that features custom music,   and the fact that it’s done by someone within the  golden age mod community makes it that much more   special. There are decoration blocks and items  that make it through each as well, like flowers  

And barrels. Each mod has world types to choose  from that are tailored to fit the style of the mod   they’re in, and really spices up the experience.  As I mostly covered but want to bring up again   as its important, an insane amount of quality  of life improvements that we take for granted  

In modern minecraft such as shift click and  sneaking. And lastly, the overall stylization,   options screens, title screens, and GUI from  each mod shines through every single one. That was a LOT of mod coverage there, so if  you enjoyed it, definitely check out legacy+’s  

Discord server in the description. Again,  I can safely say there has never been and   WILL NEVER BE a more extensive, polished,  ironed out mod series for classic, indev,   and infdev. Like literally ever. This is peak  old minecraft modding, and something I never  

Would’ve thought was possible for these older  versions. Shoutout to the developer team of the   project for taking the ancient dusty old minecraft  versions and turning them into something amazing.   This is like turning a rusted out 1930s model A  and turning it into a 2023 ferrari. As for me,  

If you enjoyed this rendition of golden age mod  coverage, let me know by leaving a like on the   video and commenting your thoughts on it below  with any other mods you think I should cover.   Subscribe if you’re brand new for a potentially  endless nostalgic minecraft experience on the
