Beta status and trade-offs
The modpack is still in beta, and the quest system is the first thing slated for a full rework. Expect rough edges there. Fabric is ruled out, since the authors state there is no port. Only the two Minecraft releases listed above exist, with no plans for others.
Installation
Pick the 1.20.1 file for the newest content. The guide on installing a modpack from CurseForge or Modrinth walks through the steps. A dedicated server pack is not mentioned anywhere in the listing, so confirm that before planning multiplayer.
Questions about Minecraft Legendary Edition.
4 questions
Will Minecraft Legendary Edition come to Fabric?
No. The authors answer a direct question about a Fabric port with a plain no. The modpack runs on Forge only, so players on Fabric need a different modpack or must switch loaders for this one.
Is Minecraft Legendary Edition finished?
Not yet. The authors describe it as still in beta. Their first listed plan is reworking the entire quest system, so expect that part to change. A wiki is also described as being worked on.
Does Legendary Edition have thirst and temperature?
Yes. The modpack adds a temperature and thirst system alongside a customised skill tree and new creatures. The summary on CurseForge calls it a journey for hardcore adventurers.
Does Legendary Edition include shaders?
It ships a custom shaderpack. The team rewrote it specifically for this modpack, based on BSL Shaders, with help from the BSL author.
