The OpenBeta project is an attempt to make early Minecraft something the community has full control over. This is being done through reverse engineering, reimplementing and documenting the ins and outs of how old Minecraft worked.
Here's a list of a few projects that belong to the grander OpenBeta Project.
| Technical Beta Wiki | Betrock++ | LibreProg |
| Wiki that describes the Beta 1.7.3 "specification" | Beta 1.7.3-compatible Server and (eventually) Client written largely from scratch in C++ | Notchian/Programmer Art-like textures and assets |
These are smaller mini-projects that, while still part of OpenBeta, aren't necessarily part of it's grander vision.
| retromc | GoldenBase | BPPT | BetaAuth |
| A more free-form Beta 1.7.3 Server written in Go by esora512 | A pre-release Minecraft seed explorer, written in C++ and compiled to WASM | Turns Wireshark network captures into Markdown tables that make reading Beta Network activity easier | Fully independent Beta Server authentication |
| Betadot | PicoBeta | LegacyWorldViewer | LegacyMcServer |
| A crude Beta 1.7.3-compatible client written in GDScript/Godot | A bare-bones Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 Server that can run on some WiFi-capable microcontrollers | A poorly written pre-Anvil Minecraft World explorer written in C++ and OpenGL 3.3 | The predecessor to Betrock++'s Server backend. Do not use this! |
