🚀 Key Features

⏱️ The 60-Second Timer

Peaceful building is a thing of the past. A global timer is constantly running. The moment it hits zero, a fresh wave of hostile mobs spawns directly around you.

Warning: You cannot sleep away the danger. The waves will find you.

📈 Scaling Difficulty

Don't get too comfortable after the first few minutes. The waves get stronger over time:

  • Early Game: Basic mobs to get you warmed up.
  • Mid Game: Enemies start spawning with more HP.
  • Late Game: Beware of the blazes.

🎁 Custom Loot & Sustainability

Since you won't have much time to farm or mine, the mobs are your lifeline.

  • 🍖 Food Drops: Mobs have a chance to drop food so you don't starve during battle.
  • 🛡️ Armor & Gear: Defeat enemies to get new gear. The only way to upgrade is to fight!

🎒 Choose Your Starter Kit

Upon loading the world (or via command), you get to choose a Starter Kit. Pick the kit that suits your survival strategy.

Think you have what it takes? Download the datapack now and face the horde!

  1. Install: Drop the datapack into your world folder.
  2. Start: Enter the world. You should see a barrel to select your Starter Kit.
