Minecraft Authentic Adventure Lite is a minimalistic mod for Minecraft 1.3.2 to 1.8.9 that tweaks primary aspects to be more Beta-esque. It is a smaller version of the Authentic Adventure mod which features many more customisation options and gameplay tweaks.
Installation
Authentic Adventure Lite makes use of the Ornithe project to allow for easy porting between versions as well as compatibility with other mods. Simply install Ornithe then download the respective version of the mod and move it to your mods folder. Ornithe standard libraries are not required.
Features
- Overhauled world generation, making it more hilly and Beta-esque (mostly identical to the original mod)
- Reworked hunger system (hunger only decreases with sprinting, starvation has been removed and food directly heals health)
- Restored old passive mob spawning
- Enchantments cost one quarter of the level requirement
- Ability to safely upgrade to later Minecraft versions
