About this Modpack

Minecraft... but hard.

Various changes have been made to mobs and the world to make everything more challenging.
Bosses, enhanced enemy AI, mutants, chance cubes... anomalies.
Not all is bad, though. There's a lot of stuff to help you fight against the toughest mobs!
Explore the looter-shooter aspect brought to Minecraft with the Apotheosis mod. Weapon variants dropped by hostile mobs, affixes, gems, you name it. Did I mention there's guns?

Do you have what it takes to survive the night? Better yet, beating the dragon?

Fully multiplayer compatible via the Essential mod, the built-in shader (Bliss) is on by default and gives the pack its signature look, but if your pc isn't good enough then turning them off is fine as well.

  • For version 2.0 and up, the shader is not needed for fog and darkness effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong neoforge loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 6 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match.

Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 GB for stable performance. per 5 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €8/month).

Can I add custom mods to Hardened Survival Lite without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (neoforge) and same Minecraft version (1.20.1). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.
