About this Modpack

Have you ever played minecraft and thought that the progression was way too linear, simple but peaceful. Well not anymore. With this modpack, your average minecraft progression is taken to a completely different level (whether it's better or worse, you're the decider). This mod pack was inspired by BTW (Better Than Wolves) and MITE (Minecraft Is Too Easy), so if your not a hardcore player who loves challenges, you might have a tough time with this one.

Now,

Want to punch a tree to get wood ? too bad, you need an axe.

Want to explore ? Thirst and temperature will kill you if not careful enough.

Want to farm crops ? Seasons exist.

Want to eat meat to avoid crops ? Nutrition exists.

Want to stockpile on food ? Food spoils.

(unless placed in a shulker box. Barrels and netherrite tier backpacks have the slowest spoiling rate, then the diamond, gold, copper, iron backpack. Leather backpack and chest have the same spoil rate).

Want to fight mobs ? Mobs have rusted iron gear that can almost one shot you.

Want to go to the end ? Strongholds dont exist.

(you have to craft end portal frames. YOu can pull out eye of ender from end portal frame by using a pole and can even carry them, but not break them sadly.)

Now, all is not lost. Though at first glance this might look harsh and difficult but there are a couple of things that can make your life a bit easier. We have create mod to automate your daily tasks, butcher mod to harvest a lot more food, farmers delight for a lot of food variants, biomes o plenty for a variety of biomes to explore, carry on mod to help you carry stuff. (you can carry mobs of reasonable sizes and some blocks like chests, barrels, crafting table, furnace and a special block, end portal frames). We have a custom armor that has cool effects (well not for you to wear but you'll understand when you see diamond stuff). Enough spoilers, enjoy the modpack.

The datapacks and crafttweaker scripts code were made with the help of AI (it's kind of like, I know English and I know what I want to say, But I need to convert my speech to Chinese but I don't how how to speak chinese, thats what the AI did, translate). I'm no zen-script programmer or datapack expert plz don't bully meh.

Can I add custom mods to Complicated Survival without conflicts?
