About this Modpack
Hey! All over the internet, there are hardcore survival modpacks, but without crazy monsters or overpowered mechanics.
This is a modpack that takes the vanilla Minecraft to the clouds whether you want to beat the dragon in a hella fun and challenging.
It includes a bunch of client-side mods that would do well with vanilla Minecraft and just makes MC a lot more alive, optimized, and fun.
It has a xp-to-level system, so to be able to use better gear you need to put a lot more work into it. A VETERAN WILL FEEL THE NOSTALGIA OF WHEN THEY HAD TO BUILD THEIR FIRST DIRT HOUSE BECAUSE WHAT ELSE COULD THEY DO?
The world has had a makeover with new mobs - both friendly and hostile -, as well as biomes. New structures can be found, caves and more.
New survival mechanics have been added for a more realistic touch, such as needing to eat varied, need to drink, and stay energized.
A bunch of very nice vanilla mods for a better and more enjoyable journey.
