Differences from RetroMC

Some features available in RetroMC, such as container locks via LWC, Essentials/Fundamentals homes, and overviewer are also available in BetaLands.
And this is where the differences begin:

  • Server-based economy, sugarcane and catus farms were the best items to sell to the shop
  • Lockette is still enabled for locked containers created before the implementation of LWC
  • StarGates & MobArena don't exist
  • Towny is still used instead of JVillage, and players regenerate health in towns
  • No automated UUID-based account transfer
  • Less updated stuff
