Minecraft Cocoa is a fork of Minecraft Beta 1.7.3, adding new gameplay elements and quality-of-life features, inspired by Better Than Wolves, Better Than Adventure, Minecraft: The Right Branch Of Development, and other similar mods
Ever since the release of Beta 1.8, the game has changed alot, adding hunger and sprinting, with bosses to beat, much more bloat, many structures, and more grinding implemented into the game. This made the game less sandbox like, and more like a fantasy RPG in a way. Because of this, a community of people have risen that play b1.7.3 or older, as they prefer the simplicity and world generation. I am one of those folk, but i've always felt that b1.7.3 feels incomplete, so i created this mod to fill any gaps that game had, improving features, and adding new content.

+Added Hydrangea flower type (similar to cyan rose)
+Added Coral, based off the b1.2_02 dev build

This will give your player the intended skin, aswell as the intended sounds for the game.
5. Run the game and you can play the little mod
This mod will be more game-play and QOL focused, and I want to maintain b1.7.3's simplicity, so there won't be many new building blocks, items or mobs.
This is just a hobby for me, and I'm not super dedicated for this mod, so updates will take some time, and i might stop working on it entirely
Credits to Seka64/Sp4rka for helping out with the more complicated stuff in the mod
I also wouldn't recommend playing b1.7.3 servers on this, im not entirely sure but you could get banned from those servers for playing on a altered client, then again, only purely visual additions remain when playing on servers that run older versions, so i don't know.
started checking out the mod, it seems really promising so far ! the only complaint i have during my around 20 or so minutes of casual exploring is that i think the cow drops might be a bit op (i fairly consistently get 6 leather from cows, which feels like way too much considering things), but besides that i'm very happy with the changes so far. the sprites all look nice, i especially think the touch of coral in the lakes makes for a beautiful sight, and i just overall look forward to seeing how u go about with updates here on out :>

thanks for playing! and yeah, fair point about the cow drops, i'll tone it down a bit in the next update
