Do you want to revisit old Minecraft with some added difficulty?
Then this mod pack is for you!
This mod pack brings all the good old features from alpha and beta, and brings them into the nice optimized state of modern Minecraft. This means enjoying all your nostalgia without the terrible glitches and multiplayer issues!
What this pack includes-
Old World Generation: Includes generator options for indev, infdev, alpha, and beta.
Old World Lighting: Brings back the old greyscale lighting of alpha and beta. Not compatible with the 'Hardcore Darkness' feature. If you want to use this module, make sure 'Custom Colors" is set to 'ON' in your video settings/quality.
Before-
After-
Hardcore Darkness: Makes the nights and caves of Minecraft scary again. Not compatible with the 'Old Lighting' feature, which is still pretty dark in itself. If you want to use this module, make sure 'Custom Colors" is set to 'OFF' in your video settings/quality.
Longer Days and Nights: Days and nights now last 10 minutes longer.
No Hunger Bar + No Experience Bar: Brings back the old food restoring hearts system, and gets rid of the hunger and exp bars. I also found a way to remove those annoying experience orbs.

Old HUD Placements: Puts the heart and armor icons back where they should be!
Old Textures and Sounds: Two resource pack options for alpha or beta textures and sounds. With this, you no longer have to turn off your internet so the old sounds won't get overwritten.
I will NOT be re-enabling any of these, even if there is a demand. You can re-enable these yourself if you so desire under the Bad Mobs configuration.
Special AI: "Special AI adds a variety of new AI patterns to mobs, including: monsters idly breaking your light sources and certain blocks, an attack AI for "passive" mobs, mounting AI, and a pile of unique combat AIs to keep you on your toes!" I find this really brings back the feeling of being scared and unsure about fighting monsters in the game.
Pre Configured: Easy all-in-one installation! All mods and configurations are already tweaked to accurately resemble minecraft alpha and beta. The ONLY settings you should mess with should be the resource packs, in which let you select alpha look and sound, or a beta look and sound.

Great. I would also recommend posting a slimmer version with just the resourcepacks, mods and config. It would be so much smaller and easier to manage as people sould just install forge and drop it all into their .minecraft directory. They could also put it in a new folder and tell their forge instance to use that folder. It would function exactly the same with no multimc installation. I think that is a big turnoff for most. You could also put it on a launcher like Technic, so it is a one click install. https://technicpack.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204199345-How-to-make-a-Minecraft-modpack
With a showcase video and server advertising, this thing could do pretty well on Technic.
Also, many people like their 1.8+ skin, so I would suggest adding this so you don't see as many Steves and newer players that are checking it out complain. https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/skinport
Aether legacy might be a nice addon, but I can't say I would suggest it, as it was more of a beta mod and not a part of vanilla minecraft.

Do you ever plan on making them module forge compatible mods? That would be really cool. Soon I could just add them to my current modded profile.
There is ONE more mod you need. ALLTheItems. It disables the dropped item clumping added in 2012.
I can't find it on the forums, so here is a jar. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EepFiCXWNrtvIwudWWc58oBuefT0HlSR/view?usp=sharing
As for the resourcepack. You may not have noticed, but the sky in Alpha and Beta was more vibrant. Here is a resourcepack I made to add that back in. https://drive.google.com/file/d/18HER6wtg6BTG0eFjiqoFYXcVHNMTDgtp/view?usp=sharing
Also, as a side note. Lamas, parrots and shulkers were not added until Microsoft bought the game. They are not in 1.7 to begin with.
You can find it in the download.
Just find the instances folder, then the .minecraft and copy the mods and config over.
Added to the pack!

I also have another mod you should look into.

One final thing. Classic sky tones.

God speed.
Hey, how can I make my own server for my friends?
