The MC 1.17.1 Backport Version!

Backporting modpack version 1.1.0 to Minecraft 1.17.1

(See 1.21.4-1.1.0 for a longer changelog): /modpacks/recording-client-for-vanilla-mc-servers/version/1.21.4-1.1.0

Changes For 1.17.1-1.1.0 Version:

Downgraded all available mods to MC 1.17.1, then tinkered with it a bit to fix crashing, and whatever other issues arose, etc.

Mods Downgraded:

• Downgraded all mods to latest available MC 1.17.1 version. Except:
  • Downgraded MiniHUD to v0.20.0 as newer version was an "alpha".

Config Changes:

• Set Bobby "Max Render Distance" limit to 32 (down from 128), due to crashing with higher render distances.
  • NOTE: This makes the mod essentially useless in single-player. However, as servers are still limited to 10 chunks by default, this mod's "chunk caching" features are still useful & nice to have on servers, effectively allowing the player to triple their view distance.

Mods Replaced:

(Replaced 1.21.4-1.1.0 pack mods with MC 1.17.1 mods)

• Replaced Bigshot with Fabrishot (no 1.17.1 version available)
• Replaced Cubes Without Borders with Borderless Mining
• Replaced Lighty with Light Overlay

Mods Removed:

(Most of these do not exist for MC 1.17.1)

• Removed Armor Poser (was crashing)
• Removed Creator Overlays
• Removed Debugify
• Removed Fast Better Grass resource pack
• Removed ImmediatelyFast
• Removed Lithium
• Removed MemoryLeakFix (was crashing)
• Removed MidnightControls
• Removed MidnightLib (not needed without MidnightControls)
• Removed Mixin Conflict Helper
• Removed No Chat Reports (not needed before MC 1.19)
• Removed Sodium Dynamic Lights
• Removed Sodium Options APi
• Removed YetAnotherConfigLib

Why "beta"?

I think I've fixed the initial crashing issues with this version, so it should be stable.

But I couldn't spend as much time testing as I would've liked. If I have some reason to use MC 1.17 for an extended play session, I might update this pack with whatever I find. But in the meantime I decided to make it available "as is" for those of you who may really want a 1.17 version. Enjoy! :D
