🌆 Overview
When the cities fell, the world didn’t end — it just started over.
CraftZ: Haven’s Rebirth drops you into a collapsing civilization torn between the undead, the factions that rose from the ashes, and the faint rumor of one last safe place: Haven Island.
You’ll scavenge, rebuild, and forge your story through exploration, crafting, and survival.
Every tool you craft, every ally you find, and every night you survive is one step closer to reclaiming what was lost.

🧭 Optional / Disabled Mods
The following mods are included but disabled by default for stability and user choice.
Enable them from the Mods menu if you wish:
-
Distant Horizons – long-distance terrain rendering.
⚠️ May cause save-file lockups or player-data errors on some systems. -
Delete Worlds to Trash – moves deleted worlds to recycle bin; currently unreliable.
⚡ Performance & Optimization (Pre-Included)
CraftZ ships with a set of optimizations tuned for smooth performance out of the box:
-
FerriteCore – memory optimization
-
ImmediatelyFast – rendering speed boost
-
OptiFine (or Oculus/Embeddium alternative) – shader & lighting control
-
NoFog (optional) – clearer long-range visibility
You can swap these for your own preferred setup; the pack performs well even without Distant Horizons.
🏠 Multiplayer & Co-op
CraftZ is fully compatible with dedicated servers.
The pack scales from solo survival to 4–6 player colony runs without balance issues.
Faction events, quests, and raids adapt dynamically to group play.
