I decided to create a Minecraft 1.5.2 mod, inspired by Better Than Adventure, which will be called "Better Than Horses". It adds what should have been added to Minecraft after 1.5 instead of horses (in 1.6), biomes (in 1.7) and etc. Here is the list of some features that Better Than Horses will add and change in Minecraft 1.5.2:

Additions
Fish
A mob that spawns in oceans and rivers.

Rain ripples

Changes
Difficulty
Difficulty will be saved per world, instead of globally; difficulty will can no longer be
changed from the title screen.
Difficulty will can now be selected only when creating a world and cannot be changed
after this.
The "Bonus Chest" button will be replaced by difficulty selection button and as a
result Bonus Chests will be removed from the game.
The Peaceful difficulty will be removed.

Zombies
Will no longer spawn underground.
Will always use their attack animation whether they hold weapon or not.
Baby zombie villagers will burn in sunlight.
Baby zombie villagers will drop loot and experience.
Baby zombie villagers will can walk in one block tall spaces.
Zombies will have an up to 10% chance of breaking a door on a normal difficulty and
up to 30% on a hard difficulty.

Achievements
Will now be stored per world/server.

Skeleton
Skeletons will now lower their arms when idle, will hold their bow with two hands when
aiming and animate their bow like in 1.9.

Caves
Caves will be overhauled.
The world will be extended 64 blocks down.

Trees
Destroying a block of a tree thruck will result in the destruction of the rest of the tree
above it.

Fishing Rod
Bobber will have a 3D model from Bedrock Edition.

Swamp
The swamp will be revamped: it will have willows instead of oak tree, mud and algae.

Water
Water will now have a different color depending on a biome.

Compass
Will now point to the player's spawn point instead of the place where the player
originally spawned.

Biomes
Will now avoid getting placed next to a biome that is too different from itself,
temperature-wise.




And now I'm gathering a developer team for my mod. Would you join my mod discord server?: https://discord.gg/NXZmDuUf

Better Than Horses will add two cave mobs. The first one is Undead Miner. They will spawn underground, wielding stone or iron pickaxe.


The second one is a mob suggested by SystemZee in this video.

Why put it on 1.5.2 though?

Because 1.5.2 is the greatest version ever made. Also other people make such mods based on the beta and alpha versions of the game. I decided to stand out by making a mod on 1.5.2.

I disagree with 1.5.2 being best, and if you wanted to be unique maybe try 1.6 or something. better than wolves exists in 1.5.2 so it'll probably be hard to stand out..
