The 1.7.10 version introduced mechanics that Mojang would only implement years later (in the "Village & Pillage" and "Caves & Cliffs" updates).

Warning: Quark 1.7.10 modifies base classes. It is not compatible with every mod. Back up your world before adding it to an existing modpack.
Because of technical limits in 1.7.10 (no generic models before 1.8, no off-hand slot until 1.9), certain Quark features are missing: quark mod 1.7.10
However, what is present feels surprisingly native to 1.7.10.
