I ran out of interest updating this so use Exalm's OldDays and NBXLite instead. You'll like them more. Trust me. The rest of this topic is retained for archival purposes.
Go here for the new mods
A no biomes mod was released here not long ago, for 1.5. I liked it, but it suffered one issue -- the noise generator in later versions of minecraft is different, meaning that while most of the generation was the same as 1.1.2, the actual noise was not, making everything different. This fixes that, by adding in the original noise maker. Since features like tall grass are not in this, I restored some alpha functionality. In particular, you can now use the hoe on grass to get seeds again. Weather effects no longer happen, either.
The biggest feature is snowy worlds -- the game will now create snowy worlds in the same fashion as before. The key should be the same, so assuming that MC doesn't strip it when converting alpha levels, any pre 1.2.0 level with snow should still have it, when loaded with this mod
Screenshots:
this is a view of the very first level I played with alpha. I still have it. I still play it.
Known bugs:
I'm expecting bugs on this one (I'm not exactly the best programmer ever ), so please report them. I know of one, but it only happens under specific circumstances:
- It snows in the nether -- this can only be seen by stripping away the bedrock with a mod or editor.
Squid spawning in springs, taking up passive mob slots-- fixed in r2
You must install ModLoader, AudioMod, and GuiAPI for it to work!
Updates:
r2 is released, adding sandstone and lazis as per recent beta levels, and the squid bugfix is now added into the main archive, meaning that passive mobs should spawn much more often.
r3 is here, adding configuration support and a bunch of new features!
- Leaves fix now part of the main distribution, and it's been made better all around.
- Configurable options: You can now configure the following
- Sunrise/Sunset Effect
- Shearing Sheep with bare knuckles!
- Generation of Lapis and Sandstone
- Re-add the version string!
- Spawning of beta mobs (squid, colored sheep, wolves still don't spawn at all...)
- And some classic texturing options! (Thanks for the suggestions, Terra_ff6!)
- Indev-style map theming!
- Biome maps from 1.7.3!
- Textured clouds!
- And more!

NBX Lite:
This strips all the gameplay features in favor of compatibility! Created by Exalm.
Please check Exalm's thread for the latest version.
Leaves fix:
Are your trees on a pre-beta level showing the wrong color? This will fix them. Install after the main mod. Do not install with r3.
