The Alpha

The Alpha is a replacement for The Sequel. It, too, is dropped by The Others. Things tend to have a more yellowish-white tone. It appears as a worldwide span of white sand, beautiful gardens, and desert/alpha enemies. However, every mob has a 10% chance to be made of marble, emerald, or dust instead of their natural components. If they are mined, though, they will still drop normal materials.

Landforms/Structures

 * One of the most common structures in the entire Alpha is a Crystal Temple. It appears as a large, mostly white but occasionally green or blue series of halls, walls, and shrines surrounded by blue flames. The entrance is a large dome with a crystal rod coming off the top. Sadly, the crystals it is composed of cannot be mined. As soon as a crystal piece comes to contact with a pickaxe, a large chunk of it will burst into blue flames that quickly move towards the player that attempted to mine it.
 * Although it is mainly composed of sand, there are several areas, called The Pits, that will appear under the player. They will get deeper and deeper until they reach where the Underworld would appear. Instead of the Underworld, however, a large area of crystals engulfed in blue flames lies at the bottom of the world. If any blocks are placed in a Pit, they will explode into blue smoke, dealing 1,000 damage.
 * The Oasis appears once in every Alpha. It is a large teal lake with several waterfalls from the sky flowing into it. If the player obtains Flippers and climbs the waterfalls, they will find an upside-down teal ocean at the top of the world.
 * The only plant life in the entire Alpha is found in the Stone Gardens, beautiful arrangements of exotic plants, such as the Albino Yucca, and bluish stones carved with glowing symbols. It is a very good area to come across when in need of food and materials, as the plants provide fruits and other supplies while the stones can be mined to make a very good shelter or home.
