What it is:
Alphernate is a modpack for Minecraft 1.20.1 that aims to realize an idea of what Minecraft could have been had it gone down a different path during its alpha/infdev phases. An alternate universe Alpha Minecraft, hence the name.
Here are some screenshots to get an idea of what to expect:
Survival is key in Alphernate, it is for those who are accustomed to early versions of the game. This modpack does not hold your hand. It's difficult, but not too difficult.
Features:
Stack sizes up to 100! (for most items, food sizes are much smaller)
Altered food system: the more it heals, the longer it will take to eat and the less it will be able to stack.
Slower progression: rarer ores, no stone tools, next tier after wooden tools is copper tools.
Limited enchanting: no enchanting table, only two enchantments max on a given item.
Stamina based sprinting: you don't have a lot, only 5 seconds, so use it wisely.
No slowed movement penalty while using items like bows, food, and shields.
Shields block 50% of damage instead of 100% and knocks mobs back.
Items take 2 hours to despawn instead of 5 minutes.
Diamond is once again the final tier; no Netherite.
Dyed wooden planks and bricks!
All logs are now crafted into wooden planks, with the exception of Nether logs.
Copper, iron, and gold ores drop nuggets which can be crafted into raw materials.
Chainmail armor can be crafted with chains; acts as a middleground between copper and iron.
Zombies walk slightly faster than you do, so either preserve your stamina or face them head on.
If you're close enough to a surface with a Creeper behind it, it might explode to let other mobs in.
Giants and Charged Creepers have a very low chance to spawn in place of normal Zombies and Creepers.
Dynamite! Throw it at hordes of mobs; does not destroy blocks.
And much more!
