### “Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks.”<\/p>\n
AlterBeta seeks to make Minecraft fully embody that statement, while also bringing it back to a simpler time, akin to a hybrid of Beta 1.7.3 and Release 1.2.5. Creativity should be encouraged, and the player should have the ability to make their world into something they truly own.<\/p>\n
Contents include:<\/p>\n
