AlphaJam
by Recko
AlphaJam is a quality-of-life mod for the Alpha version of Minecraft, with some Legacy Console Edition styling.
What it does
AlphaJam changes the interface and visuals of the Alpha game rather than the gameplay itself. It replaces the dirt menu background with a panorama inspired by Legacy Console Edition, limits foliage saturation so trees and grass look brighter, and offers a classic mode that restores the lime green foliage used in earlier Alpha builds. Players can turn on an FPS counter in the top left corner during play, and a set of sliders controls field of view, GUI scale, cloud distance and fog distance.
The mod is described by its author as a small project made to let players keep playing Alpha mostly as it was, with a few improvements and a recreation of some Legacy Console Edition features. Core mechanics stay the same, apart from fixes for major bugs present in the version, and changes to ore generation and leaf decay are included as well. Most of the options above can be customized, and the author notes that more features have been added over time, though the mod is still new. AlphaJam is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it. It is published for ModLoader and released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
