🌌 EchoFrames: r1.5.0 (Version 1.6.4)

Welcome to the Horse Update. EchoFrames r1.5.0 modernizes Minecraft 1.6.4, the version that introduced Horses, Hay Bales, and Leads, while serving as the final bridge of the "Golden Age" of modding. This foundation pack is meticulously tuned to provide high-performance exploration, ensuring the sprawling landscapes of 2013 remain vibrant and stable on 2026 hardware.

⚙️ Key Features and Security

Essential Protection: Features Log4JPatcher and SerializationIsBad to seal legacy security vulnerabilities, alongside TimeoutAgent to prevent the "Timed Out" errors common during long horse rides across new chunks.

Modern Exploration: Includes JourneyMap for real-time tracking and mc-truststore to ensure your 2026 session and skins stay active on legacy servers.

Enhanced Movement: Adds ShiftSprinting and ShiftSprinter for modern control schemes, plus InputFix and DPI-Fix to handle high-resolution mouse and monitor scaling.

Utility & HUD: Features Waila and Waila Harvestability to tell you exactly what you can mine, plus ArmorStatusHUD and DirectionHUD for a modern, clutter-free combat interface.

Performance Core: Driven by FpsPlus, Entity Culling Backport, and MixinConBooter, this pack optimizes the 1.6.4 engine to handle high-end shaders with significantly reduced micro-stutter.

Social Integration: CraftPresence displays your 1.6.4 activity on Discord, while e4mc Retro allows you to open your single-player world to friends instantly without a dedicated server.
