About

Do you like alpha/beta/old versions of Minecraft? Or would you simply like to see or try things removed from said versions, then you will love this addon! To begin with, it brings back the first alpha biome of Minecraft, that is, the forest with neon green grass, and never before seen versions of some mobs, such as wolves, enderman, among others.

Biomes:

Alpha Biome: Remember the old forests from the early versions of Minecraft, with their grass and neon green foliage? This add-on recaptures that atmosphere. While not an exact replica, this biome is the closest to the original. Alpha versions of roses and dandelions also grow here.

Blocky forest landscape with hills and trees

Horror Alpha Forest: This biome is similar to the Alpha Forest but with a more extensive and dense fog, creating a feeling of loneliness and terror. Fewer animals spawn here!

Foggy blocky forest with retro graphics

Mushroom Forest:
A place where giant mushrooms grow. Animals live here, and you can also find pigmen villages. Note that pigmen villages will only appear if the Old Pigman Plus is activated.

Dense forest with giant red mushrooms.

Classic Plains:
The first biome in Minecraft history. It has few features, but it's an ideal place to build.

Indev Hell:
Refers to the old "Hell" map from the Indev versions: a world made entirely of dirt, with few trees and a huge lava lake. It's always dark, monsters spawn constantly, and there are no animals.

Blocky terrain with sparse trees and creature

Legacy Frozen Ocean:
An unimplemented variant of the Frozen Ocean. Similar to a normal frozen ocean, but without icebergs, it resembles a flat, icy plain.

Frozen ocean biome with distant land.

Savanna Plateau Plateau:
A rare variant of the savanna, which no longer spawns since the "Caves & Cliffs: Part II" update. The vegetation here is more vibrant, and rainfall is more frequent.

Savanna Plateau Mutated biome landscape

Beta Ocean:
An old ocean from the Beta versions, composed of earth, clay, and sand. It is inhabited by Beta squid!

Underwater beta-style ocean terrain

Seasonal Forest: is a removed humid biome, which existed in the game prior to the Adventure Update. They were a lower density version of the forest biome only capable of spawning oak trees.

Blocky forest landscape with green trees

Rainforest: were lush, wet biomes with many trees, which had a 1 in 3 chance of being large trees, instead of 1 in 10 like all other biomes. They were similar to forests but had a large amount of tall grass and ferns and lush green grass due to temperature and rainfall requirements.

Blocky rainforest biome with dense trees

Shrubland: are largely identical to the savanna biome, featuring few trees and no tall grass.

Two cows in a grassy shrubland terrain

Ice Desert: are a removed snow-covered biome, which existed prior to the Adventure Update. The biome consisted of large sand flats, with a snow layer cover.

Snow-covered desert with cacti and shrubs

Tundra: is a removed snow-covered biome which the precursor of the current snowy plains, but with fewer trees and no tall grass. Tundras existed in the game prior to the Adventure Update (Beta 1.8 for Java Edition) or in versions before Alpha 0.9.0 for Pocket Edition.

Creepyman: The enderman used to have green eyes.

Be careful if you look at this enderman in his eyes, he will blind you for a few seconds, he also has up to 50 health points, and he teleports more than normal!

Upon death he can drop an ender eye.

Shadowman: The first version of the enderman shown to the public was different, it was more terrifying, it had white eyes and they used zombie sounds!

It has only 20 health points, and burns in sunlight, but obscures players who are near it, and attacks players who cannot see its eyes.

He spawns rarely, and there is a small chance he will drop diamonds upon death!

Giant: an entity from the Java version that exists but has no use, has 100 health points, and causes 26 damage on easy difficulty, 50 on normal, and 76 on hard, it is twice as fast as a zombie, at the same time dying drops a lot of rotten flesh. Spawns rarely in Plains and Alpha biomes!

Two retro-style skeleton mobs at night

This mob was a product of the haze effect in the 1.8 version, this effect was also produced in the Spiders; due to its black color the endermans and spiders looked white as it produced an inverse color effect.

He has 80 health points and is faster when he gets angry, using a pumpkin will not prevent him from getting angry at you. When hit, he causes weakness for 5 seconds!

Water doesn't hurt him!

Diamond Chicken: It doesn't generate naturally, it's just like a chicken, but instead of laying eggs it lays diamonds!

    Hi israobit I say the wrong thing just annoy my comment not this comment I mean and speaking of that can you release the beta blocks and in ice desert it have no cactus and cactus flowers please remove it and shrubland don't use the savanna dirt blocks it use the beta plains blocks and it did generated sheep and chichen and pig and cows only and the temperature was >50% and <97% and they did have few trees and no tall grass and it is identical to the savanna biome. Along with swampland. It was one of the smallest biome in the game. Rarely ever being larger than a few chucks, And only spawns if the temperature is between 50% and 97%, and the rainfall value is below 35% and therefore too little to generate a forest. That all bro and ignore the first comment bro this is my 2nd perfect comment more than that stupid 1st comment I made a mistake bro❤️🙏💯😎👍🏻
