When downloading please use the latest stable release. The packs labelled testing are not stable.

This mod pack brings you a challenging survival experience to 1.11.2 with limited health, hunger and crafting recipes. Many of the recipes have been disabled or modified to create a more immersive world with a light emphasis on magic, technology, and combat. A challenge for even the most seasoned Minecraft player, this pack intends for the player to have a long early game experience focusing on building, farming, and exploration.

Don't wander too far from home, the world is a dangerous place filled with wolfs, bears, harsh climates, and sparse clean water. Storage, food, and surviving will be your struggles. Needing too many items, and not enough resources to make them. Your health, hunger, and thirst effect your speed, and ability to move. Food gives minimal nourishment, and traveling has become increasingly difficult. Your health have been reduced to half until you can rebuild it, and things like crafting a pick axe can be a struggle. Everything in the world has been made to be as realistic as possible. Simple tasks and items may become dangerous additions. You never thought trading with villagers could be so useful. Loot and plunder until you can survive and thrive!

Experimental Disclaimer:
Things to note, some crafting recipes are a little wonky right now. These will be more balanced after more testing play. The point at the moment is to make crafting tools harder, along with crafting chests. You may notice some duplicate recipes if that is the case just expect to use the harder version. Achievement book not created.
