🌆 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.

⚙️ Core Gameplay

CraftZ isn’t just another “zombie survival pack” — it’s a full progression experience built for both solo and co-op play.

🩸 Survival

• Tough As Nails thirst & temperature

• First Aid limb damage and realistic healing

• Infection, exhaustion, and scavenging systems

🏚️ Rebuilding

• MineColonies to establish fortified settlements

• Create & Tetra technology lines for rebuilding civilization

• Faction reputation systems with four major survivor groups

💥 Combat

• TACZ adds modern firearms and ballistics

• Zombie Awareness & AI Tweaks for smarter hordes

• Human Companions and guard systems for protection

📘 Progression & Story

• FTB Quests + Patchouli integration

• Dynamic faction questlines (ally, betray, or survive alone)

• “Haven Island” end-game arc — a desperate voyage toward safety

🌄 Visuals & Atmosphere

• Desolate + Stay True resource packs for gritty realism

• Complementary Reimagined shaders for cinematic lighting

• Dying Light 2, TLOU, and Metro-inspired fog, firelight, and tone

• Optional Distant Horizons for massive scenic views

Every ruined street, stormy skyline, and overgrown metro tunnel feels alive with atmosphere.

🍳 Food & Farming

• Farmer’s Delight and compatible add-ons

• Aquaculture 2 + fishing minigame integration

• Hunting, cooking, and preservation systems that balance realistic survival pacing

🧭 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.

💬 Final Words

“The world didn’t end in fire or ice.
