About this Modpack
Are you ready?
You better hope so because the sculk horde sure is ready(and hungry) for you.
This modpack is best played in hardcore mode. But if you choose to do survival, I would recommend having keep inventory on, as you will always be on the run and never stationary.
About the mod "Sculk Horde", to start the infection first you must to to "0, -64, 0" and find the gravemind. Standing infront on it will cause it to awaken. But before that you want to make sure you are prepared with atleast full-iron first as the gravemind adapts to your fighting techniques, and will hunt you down till you die.
