Server Information

History & Origins

Development for JustBeta began in late February 2026, fueled by a desire to create a balanced, community-driven Beta experience. The server officially launched on May 5th, 2026.

JustBeta was born from the existing communities of RetroMC and BetaMC. We utilize their custom JAR and high-quality plugins to provide a stable experience.

Custom Features

While we stay true to the Beta 1.7.3 feel, JustBeta includes several quality-of-life adjustments to mob drops:

  • Zombie
    Zombies: Have a chance of dropping Cocoa Beans. This makes brown dye and cookies accessible through survival combat.
  • Spider
    Spiders: Have a chance of dropping Cobwebs. A rare resource now obtainable for builders and trap-makers.
  • Cow
    Cows: Have a chance of dropping Raw Porkchops. This provides players with additional food sources while exploring.

The "Just" Philosophy

The name JustBeta reflects our commitment to a "fair and just" environment. Unlike many modern servers, there are no kits available. Every player starts on the same level playing field.
