Better Than Wolves is Minecrafts Hardest mod, and can somtimes even be quite fun. The only problem with B.T.W. is that its made for ancient minecraft versions and can be hard to download. Thats why I made this Modpack, so everyone can expierience the fun of Better Than Wolves on modern Minecraft versions.
This Modpack adds many more steps to Minecraft. Hunger is overhauled and decreases way faster. To survive your first few days punch wood to slowly get planks, sticks, and bark. using sticks you can make a campfire to cook food.
This modpack is very close to B.T.W. but not a complete clone. If you are stuck you can try to use the wiki: Better Than Wolves wiki but I warn you, many mechanics may be different.
