Better off Forgotten
Many years have passed since the fall of mankind. The world is now a brutal wasteland with ruins strewn across the land, and nature retaking what was once taken from it. You wake up in a bunker after who knows how many years, and are greeted to a harsh new reality filled to the brim with creatures straight out of ones nightmares. It makes you wonder if things would've better if this world was just forgotten....
Description
Better off Forgotten is my first attempt at making and publishing a modpack to CurseForge. It is a post-apocalyptic horror modpack. The world is a wasteland with ruins of our bygone civilizations falling a part over the landscape. You are one of the last few survivors of the past world, and must try to strike out a living to ensure our ancestor's goals were not misguided. It'll be hard, though. Not only will you need to face the elements and other survivors, but horrible monsters from outside our reality have claimed this world for their own, and will do everything in their power to snuff out your lifeforce. Do you have what it takes to face these new challenges head on, or will you too be consumed by the darkness?
Content
- The world is covered by a thick layer of mist from the mod Better Fog. You can never truly see what's in the distance waiting for you.
- Not only will you need to look out for your hunger, but you also have a thirst bar and must regularly keep it full by drinking clean water. This might get tricky when the seasons change....
- Loot abandoned structures and cities. Maybe you can clean up one of them to become your new forever home.
- The End and Nether are inaccessible through normal means. Instead, Better off Forgotten has two new dimensions for you to explore, thanks to the mods Midnight and Deep Void.
- The night is extra dark thanks to the True Darkness mod. Enhanced Celestials may make these nights even more challenging with the chance of Blood Moons to appear.
- The modpack adds lots of new horror-based mobs who will try to kill you, like The Root of Fear and GoatMan, but some entities may like to play with their food a lot more, like 000.jar and In The Corners. There's a mix of different types of fear for everybody!
- Face the darkness by crafting guns from the mod (TaCZ) Timeless and Classics Zero and modern gear from Marbled's Arsenal (MA) to give you an edge over the new monsters. There's also NPC survivors across the world who you may need to fight for supplies.
