Project Alpha

Players start by finding an abandoned research lab, which usually sits in plains biomes. Inside is a broken time machine and a chest holding documents. Rebuilding the machine needs modified iron blocks, made from modified iron ingots, which combine a regular iron ingot with an iron modifier at a smithing table. Once lit, the machine lets the player step through into the Alpha version of the game.

The mod also adds a gateway that leads to an entirely new dimension. It is a fog-covered expanse of plains with green foliage, where creatures appear after sunset and the setting hides more than it shows. Research stations and camp sites from the company's experiments are scattered across it. One of the finds is a memory corrupter, which can alter previously stored memories, along with other devices.

Project Alpha requires Geckolib. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files covering 1.16.5, 1.19.4, 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, and the latest 1.6 files dated 2026-07-28. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is closed and the project is released under All rights reserved.
