No sound
First try just restarting the game a few times - sometimes that's all it takes. If that doesn't work, proceed:
Download this (in gzip format, you will need 7zip or similar to extract): https://archive.org/details/Beta-1.7.3
In MultiMC/Prism, click on your b1.7.3 instance and click "Folder" on the right side menu. Enter the .minecraft folder, delete the contents of the resources folder there, and replace them with the files from the extracted archive.
Can't connect
This includes timeout errors, "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remove host", and similar. First, make sure you're using either Prism Launcher or MultiMC. The official launcher does not handle old versions as well.
When you made your instance, make sure you selected b1.7.3 and NOT 1.7.3. This requires toggling the "Betas" checkbox seen below.
Finally, try connecting to the website - if you can't visit that, there is a chance your ISP may be blocking our IP address. DM me and I'll help.

It's a really old build and I just love it so much even to this day.

There's a big space for a whole city there, but only one build...

For now it lead to nowhere, but it might go to a modern city later!

Currently building a bridge on my beta 1.7.3 server.
It's really just a WIP for now, I'll keep you posted!

This is my very first single player Minecraft world started in 2011 that I still play to this day. I started adding signs in 2013.

I just got on the community server a couple days ago and it's been real quiet, but it's fun to see what other people have built!
It's my first time going back to a beta version since the game actually was in beta, and I'm surprised how nice it is to play after being completely used to modern Minecraft.

This is a post to brainstorm some ideas about the game and what it could have been. I'll start by listing some old features that I really liked:
- As I mentioned in my previous post, isometric screenshots. They just look good.
- The old smelting system. It was only in indev version 0.31. You would smelt iron by using flint and steel to ignite a fire in which you would then drop the iron ore onto the fire, producing iron ingots. It was definitely faster and more "atmospheric" than the current way of smelting in my opinioni even though it was simpler.
- The saturation of Alpha and below, it makes the simplest places look nice.
- Indev world types.
What are your opinions and ideas?

Minecraft Indev version had a feature called "isometric screenshots" which took an isometric screenshot of your world. Because the world wasn't infinite at that time, it took the screenshots easily. It still can be done in modern minecraft hovewer, with some plugins.

I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but this area has been hit particularly hard by creepers. If you come across this chest, please donate some dirt/sand to fill these holes in!
