This pack is no longer being updated! Thank you!
For the intended experience, play with the Golden Days (Base + Alpha) or Classic Alternative (NEON) resource packs, Optifine/Colormatic (for custom color support), moody brightness, and no smooth lighting!

Modern Alpha -- Generate Alpha terrain in modern Minecraft!
This terrain generation data pack emulates classic Alpha terrain circa a1.1.2_01, with ore and mob spawns modified accordingly! No granite/andesite/diorite, no lapis lazuli, no Endermen, fancy Oak trees courtesy of Forester, just like the old days!
Also includes the Modern Alpha Plus data pack, with the same terrain generation, but with most structures, all the new ores, and most modern mobs!
Features:
Alpha-style Generation
Rolling hills, cool cliffs, classic sand and gravel beaches!
Try the Nether!
Visit a pre-Adventure Update Nether! Modern Alpha Plus offers the new 1.16 Nether, if that's more your thing.
Winter Mode!
Both Modern Alpha and Modern Alpha Plus offer an additional Winter Mode-based overworld!
Modern Alpha Plus for a Nearly Complete Experience!
Modern Alpha Plus offers the same terrain generation and mob spawns as the main data pack, but also includes most structures, including villages, pillager outposts, ruined portals, mineshafts, and strongholds! You also get all the new ores, the new Nether, etc! Play in the standard or Winter Mode dimensions, as well as an "Overworld Plus" dimension that features both as biomes!
Note: Random seeds provided in-game do not work! To change the seed, open Modern Alpha (or Modern Alpha Plus)/data/minecraft/dimension/overworld.json and update the two "seed" fields to your desired numeric seed!
Installation:
To-Do:
Known Issues:
NOTE: Custom worlds/dimensions are still experimental and may be unstable and prone to issues.
Feedback and comments welcome!
Feel free to work off of this pack but please credit me! If you wish to repackage the data pack in a modpack, please ask first. Please do not redistribute the data pack alone as-is, I would prefer if you just linked back here!

Plus: i am having serious problems removing this data pack. When i remove it world generation start lagging badly, and everything gets generated as stone.
just to say, this does not happen when i remove the neo beta data pack from skydeck
I would expect the game to revert to default terrain gen if you were to remove this, but beyond that, I can't really speak to the effects as vanilla custom world gen is still an experimental feature.
