Alternative Adventure
by Zavgar486
Alternative Adventure, a ModLoader overhaul for Minecraft Beta b1.7.3, fixes bugs and adds quality-of-life changes to the Beta release.
What it does
The mod applies changes to the Beta release that show a different path the game could have taken after the Adventure Update, while keeping the older Beta style of world generation. Boats move faster and no longer break when dropped, and they collide with blocks and entities. Axes and pickaxes break the blocks they are meant for at the correct speed. Recipes for fences, slabs, signs and other items are corrected to match later releases more closely, and fences can be placed in any direction the player wants.
Food is reworked so that it takes longer to eat, can be eaten when the player is at full health, and stacks up to 64. Zombies no longer drop feathers or other items. Leaves turn white in snowy biomes. Signs are editable, and sheep regrow their wool over time. The mod also adds blocks and items the Beta release lacked, including redstone, coal and smoothstone blocks, plus several new flowers.
The mod works on Beta b1.7.3 only and runs on the client and the server, so both sides must install it. It is published under All rights reserved and is not open source. Snapshot builds are published alongside the release.
