About this Modpack

This pack is designed for an two player hardcore challenge run. The goal for these two players is to gather as much points as possible, before one of them dies. The tasks that give points can be found on an custom advancements page.

The pack was originally created for the hardcore challenge runs on the german twitch channel hsrt_campuslounge with the idea being, that multiple teams could play against each other. To compare how well the teams did, a custom point system was implemented through a datapack.

Since this pack is a vanilla plus hardcore challenge, it does not add any extra gameplay features, besides a point system. It only enhances features of the game, that already exists. Therefore some of the feature highlights are:
- Custom point system with a custom datapack
- Better world generation with Geophilic, Structory, Towns and Towers
- Better end with Nullscape and Moog's End Structures
- Overhauld visuals with Complementary Shader and many included resourcepacks
- Many quality of life improvements
- And more!

A special thanks goes to the whole CampusLounge twitch team for giving me the chance to create and publish this modpack. I also want to thank all of the teams that are going to play this pack on stream, since for me it is very special to have other people playing the stuff I create.
