Welcome to New Frontier Craft!

A New Adventure in Old Minecraft

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to concerns regarding the nature of uploading jarmods onto Modrinth, we've discontinued the public download for the main version being hosted here, and you can find that link on our website. The test builds for the StationAPI port are however available for download.

The test builds for StationAPI are completely different from the current main version of NFC. These are fully API-based and compatible with other StationAPI mods. These test builds will eventually be turned into a full port of NFC and become the main version once everything is ported. The source code for this project can be found here.

Modrinth Introduction

New Frontier Craft, like the many mods for Beta 1.7.3, is a jarmod. This means that instead of loading from an API it edits the game files directly. New Frontier Craft specifically also requires custom libraries to load and thus requires a non-standard installation in order to work, which you can find more info on under the "How to Install" link above.

For intercompatibility with other mods for Beta 1.7.3 we do provide modified builds of the ModLoader and Forge jarmods for use with NFC here. This will allow the user to use ModLoader/Forge mods for built for Beta 1.7.3 with New Frontier Craft; addons such as Rei's Minimap, IC2, or MAtmos.

Mod Introduction

Greetings newcomer! This is New Frontier Craft, a mod for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3!

But... why Beta? And why specifically Beta 1.7.3? If you played Old Minecraft, you know the game felt quite a bit different than it does now. Pre-Alpha, Alpha, and Beta had their own little quirks about them, but all generally had the same feel and atmosphere. At some point along the line, the feel of the game suddenly had a large shift that carries over into how the game feels now.

This shift is seen by many people as happening around Beta 1.8, the "Adventure Update". Multiple things may have contributed to this shift, the faster pace of the game from sprinting and a higher focus on fighting, and/or the player base becoming a lot bigger, younger, and edgier, and/or the looks of the game becoming duller and more orange with the new torch lighting and textures with lower contrast, and/or something else we may have not mentioned.

The reason why this mod is built upon Beta 1.7.3 is because of the wanting to recapturing some of the old feeling before all that came around. Whether you used to play these versions back in the day or wish to experience a completely new feeling to Minecraft, we heavily encourage you to try out New Frontier Craft!

Now, originally, New Frontier Craft's intention was to really try and harp on the nostalgia chords, with its original slogan being "New Frontier Craft - The answer for your Nostalgia", but this is an unrealistic goal as everyone has a different standard as to what is "Nostalgic" to them. We all had something different about the game that we loved back then. What we can do is freshen up the old times with something new, a new vision for the game - a New Frontier - while keeping to the old roots of the game.

We feel this has resulted in something more matured than Beta or modern. Something that can bring people who enjoy modern versions back to experience old times, as well as something that retains the ability to play on those feel chords again. Hopefully this something we've created can be that something for you too :)

TL;DR

This mod should be considered as more of an overhaul, or even a new path of development for Minecraft, than just a simple mod. Think of something like TerraFirmaCraft or the Aether. We're completely overhauled pieces of the game like oregen and the tool tier system, and we have huge plans for the future in for expansions we're going to be adding to the game. We're trying to make the game feel new again, yet stay within the feeling of Beta to keep the original atmosphere alive.

Additions

  • A total rework of the system and the addition of many new ores and metals
  • Authentication updated to use the modern servers
  • Skins and capes updated to use modern servers. Alex skins are supported
  • Books, a mix of modern and my own code
  • The Brick Oven
  • A server list for connecting to servers, basically taken from older versions of modern
  • A static structure generator. Currently this generates a couple rare surface buildings and some new
  • dungeons, but there will be more in the future
  • Shears can now harvest long grass and dead bushes
  • Secret music discs
  • New background and main menu music
  • Quite a few new building blocks
  • Cooked eggs
  • Blue mushrooms
  • Dynamite
  • Bookshelves can now contain items
  • The seed of a world is displayed on the F3 screen
  • Old sounds
  • Wrenches
  • Telescopes
  • A FOV Slider
  • A Cloud Slider
  • New mobs and blocks in the Nether
  • An optional Creative Mode
  • 3D Dropped Items
  • Shift Clicking
  • Cobblestone Walls.
  • Creative Mode
  • Custom Language Support
  • The Blood Moon
  • and much more!

Changes

  • There have been quite a few crafting changes from vanilla
  • Massive changes to caves. They just keep on going
  • Some of the old textures are added back in
  • A new, fuller look for grass
  • Zombies now uncommonly drop a leather tunic or leather pants
  • Mobs spawned from monster spawners do not drop anything
  • Plants in general will grow slower, but not by much. I plan to make this slower yet
  • Worlds are saved to "NFCSaves" in the Minecraft directory
  • Trees cannot generate with just one log block under the leaves, it needs to be at least 2 now
  • As mentioned earlier, stairs and slabs can be placed in various orientations
  • Texturepack loading has been improved, and they can be loaded from unzipped folders as well now in NFC

Future Plans

Some of the planned future updates for New Frontier Craft are a heaven or "anti-nether" update, an industrial update, a combat update, an "adventure" update, and tons of other ideas we've got floating around between the devs that we'd love to see implemented (the specific order and times of which these updates will be released is to be determined).

These updates will be further elaborated on as they are developed and discussed with the community. If you want your ideas heard, join our Discord!

Closing Notes

It has taken three years to get New Frontier Craft to a stable and universally liked state. That said, it's finally ready for launch. In older versions of New Frontier Craft, the game was a good bit harder than it is now, making its appeal niche. Now its made to appeal more to everyone, and the way the game plays out feels a lot better and more chill.

And as a TL;DR for everything on this page; The point of NFC is to be a new continuation of Minecraft starting at Beta 1.7.3, with us taking an alternate route to development than the one Mojang took with the adventure update and Beta 1.8. We hope you'll enjoy our route better than the one Mojang gave us :)
