Minecraft Alternative Adventure (AltAdv) is what Minecraft could've been if Mojang haven't released Adventure Update, and instead kept Beta style and world generation.
Recommended to use MultiMC or Prism to load a mod. AltAdv is jar mod which is loaded by using Add to minecraft.jar function in MultiMC or Prism.
Mod overhauls b1.7.3 by fixing some of bugs and by adding some Qol features:
- Improved boats. Boats now are faster, drop themselves and don't break when collides with blocks/entities.
- Improved tools. Axes and Pickaxes now break all blocks that they supposed to break faster correctly.
- Fixed recipes. Fixed fences, slabs, signs and other recipes to be more like in modern MC.
- Fixed food. Food is no longer can be eaten when a player has full health, also food is now stackable up to 64.
- Fixed fences. Now can be placed whatever you want they to be.
- Zombies drop nothing. Zombies no longer drop feathers.
- Snowy leaves. Leaves now turn white in snowy biomes.
- Fixed stairs. Now drop themselves.
- Editable signs. Can be edited like in 1.20 and later versions.
- Sheeps regrow their wool. Sheeps automatically regrow their wool with time.
Besides that, mod adds a missing blocks, items and completely new stuff:
- Missing blocks/items. Redstone, coal, smoothstone, smooth sandstone, missing stairs and slabs, music discs from Adventure Update, faceless pumpkins and birch/spruce blocks and items are added.
- New flowers. Implemented blue roses and paeonias, they are used to craft light blue and pink dyes.
- New achievements. Only 2 so far, but later there'll be more.
- Stone bricks. Added stone bricks from b1.8 and its variations.
- Glowing obsidian. Found in the Nether, can be used for decorations. Does not burn in lava/fire like netherite from 1.16.
- Shrubs. Added shrubs to Shrubland biome.
- Unused Paintings. Brought back 4 unused paintings from Pocket Edition.
Also a few general additions are made:
- Polished title screen. Random bg instead of default dirt one.
- Additions to F3 screen. Seed and biome can be seen using F3.
- Map shows position. F3 screen no longer shows coordinates, in order to see your coordinates you need to craft map.
- Better 3-rd person. Third-person is now accessed via Numpad 0, 1 and 2 keys. 0 is first-person, 1 is second-person and 2 is third-person.
