OptiFine is a REQUIREMENT. The developers are greedy dicks, so it can't be included with the pack itself, so install this modpack and then add OptiFine version HD U H7 for 1.18.2

MCSX: Minecraft PS1 Edition

It's an average Saturday afternoon. You just got your paycheck from your degrading part time cashier job. A whopping 55 dollars and 62 cents. With your new found riches, you decide to hit up some local garage sales to see if you can get a good deal on any retro games. You climb into your beat up 2007 Saturn Ion with the rear bumper held on by ductape, and drive, stopping at each location to check out their repositories. Clothes, books, kids toys, but no games. This average Saturday afternoon has now devolved into a disappointing Saturday evening. With the orange glow of the setting sun enveloping you in despondency, you decide to make one last stop before calling it a day. You step out of the car, hopes lower than ever, to see more of the same. Tables of neatly folded clothes, boxes of old VHS tapes, dusty dinnerware, miscellaneous knick-knacks. As you're heading back to the car, something out of the corner of your eye catches your attention. A lone Playstation 1 game, resting atop a plastic tote full of bed sheets. With the glare of the sun reflecting off of its plastic jewel case, you can't quite make out what game it is, but you can tell it's a 3 disc game by the thickness of the case. You wonder which game it could be. Alone in the Dark? Final Fantasy? Chrono Cross? Curiosity now at its peak, you find yourself reaching for the alluring game. Your curiosity has now twisted into total confusion. Now holding the game in your cold, clammy hands, you read the title, speaking it out loud. "Minecraft: Playstation Edition". As these words leave your lips, you feel a chill run down your spine. "How can this be?", you think to yourself. Minecraft wasn't released until 2009. By then, even the Playstation 3 was already 3 years old. And... a Microsoft game? On a Sony console? This is impossible. Surely this is a fake, or a homebrew, or...something? Flipping the game over, you take a gander at the rest of the case. At first glance, all appears to be normal. It has a rating, a barcode, gameplay screenshots, even a SLUS number. But upon further inspection, you notice the text on the back of the case. It's not English. In fact, it's no language that you've ever seen before, to your recollection. Strange, indeed. You tear your eyes away from the case. It's getting dark out. The owners of the house have begun packing up their unsold items, and most of the customers have gone home. You glance back down at the game to see the price sticker. $15. "Should I?", you ponder. 15 dollars is a sizeable amount for someone in your position. Why spend this much for something that might not even work? For the first time, you open the case. You see the first disc: Overworld. Next to it appears to be the game manual. You open it, but the pages are all torn out. Why would someone do this? Shoving the thought aside, you close the empty housing of what presumably once was an instruction booklet, and open the second compartment of the case, revealing discs 2 and 3: The Nether, and The End. All the discs are there, but in what condition? You check the shiny, black underside of each disc for scratches, but they are minimal. You take one last look at your surroundings. Nobody has noticed you. In what is not your proudest moment, you close the case, shove it into the pocket of your hoodie, and shuffle into your car and drive home. Upon arriving at your humble abode, without a moment's hesitation, you place the Overworld disc into your Playstation console, close the lid, and press the power button. You are welcomed by the notoriously eerie startup sequence of the PS1, proceeded by a large spinning grass block with a loading bar beneath. You feel yourself become increasingly more uneasy as the bar fills. Before you have time to process your suspicions, the title screen presents itself to you. "Minecraft: Playstation Edition". There are 3 options: Play, Options, and Quit Game. Next to these options, a graphic of Steve. His eyes seem to pierce through yours, looking directly into your soul. But it's just a picture. The panoramic background, while perhaps unintentional, is intangibly disturbing. It appears to be a player built house made mostly of oak planks and cobblestone. There is a dock overlooking the ocean. You can see where the water is cut off by the short render distance. The fog shrouded night sky and distorted PS1 graphics make it rather difficult to make out any details, but you see silhouettes of monsters spread across the scene. You press play. Most of the standard world creation options seem to be there, along with a virtual keyboard. You name your world, set your gamemode, world type, difficulty, and with the controller ever so slightly trembling in your hands, you hesitate just for a second. Curiosity, anxiety, excitement, fear. All of these emotions hit you like a punch to the stomach. Your breath stops. "Preparing for world creation. Do NOT turn off system"

Enter the blocky horror.

 

 

 

It is STRONGLY recommended to use a controller to play this pack. No, it doesn't have to be a Playstation controller. I actually use an 8BitDo controller, so it doesn't matter. Also the keyboard on the world creation screen is fake. It's just there to break the immersion as little as possible. Unfortunately there are no virtual keyboard mods for Minecraft yet. If one gets made, I'll add it. Also if somehow you manage to beat the game with this modpack, do NOT press Triangle to skip the ending. The Controllable mod is bugged and this will completely ruin your save file. You will be trapped in the end forever, unable to interact with anything. I don't know why this happens, but Crayfish hasn't fixed it and probably won't. So just press Esc on your keyboard. Again, do NOT press Triangle

 

Modpack Details

This modpack aims to be what Minecraft would be like if it was made on the PS1. It includes bad render distance, fog, warping graphics, 2D item models, graphics and sounds from the alpha days, spam clicking combat, and more. In the spirit of the creepy atmosphere that many PS1 games have, you will come across some things that will spook you pretty good. Some of these things include Herobrine, Blood Moons, and Giants. It also includes/fixes things that I feel should have been added to Minecraft in the first place, such as fixing the xp bar glitch, an armor bar that actually makes sense, shulker enchantments, opening both doors at the same time, dynamic sound effects, getting xp from harvesting crops, using a hoe to harvest crops more easily, etc.
