Alpha Tweaks
by MeLlamoGamer
Alpha Tweaks brings quality-of-life changes to Minecraft Alpha, aiming to make the early versions easier to play by modern standards.
What it does
Alpha Tweaks is a client mod for ModLoader that modifies the Minecraft Alpha builds, a1.1.2 – a1.2.6. It adds interface options and display changes that were not part of the original releases, and it changes how a few existing screens and readouts behave. Only the client needs it, so servers run without the mod and players who join do not have to install anything.
The mod covers three release versions: a1.1.2, a1.2.3_04 and a1.2.6, with the files for each listed on its page. Snapshot builds are published alongside the release files. Alpha Tweaks is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, so its code is not distributed under an open license.
Installation requires only ModLoader, which the files are built for. The mod is a single client component and does not depend on other catalog mods.
Key features
Field of view slider
A slider in the options screen sets the field of view, so the view angle can be adjusted without editing files.
Brightness slider
A brightness slider lets the player raise or lower the display gamma while playing.
Day counter in F3
The F3 debug overlay shows a day counter and coordinates in a form that is easier to read than the original display.
Reordered main menu
The Quit Game button is placed in a clearer position on the main menu, so it is easier to find.
Use cases
Playing Alpha builds on modern settings
Players who return to a1.1.2 or a1.2.6 can adjust field of view and brightness without leaving the game to change configuration files.
Navigating by coordinates
The day counter and coordinate readout in the debug overlay help with tracking progress and finding locations.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want to play the Minecraft Alpha releases a1.1.2 – a1.2.6 in single-player with options closer to later versions. It is not needed on servers.
