Rotten Knights - Survival in a Fallen Kingdom
Rotten Knights is a dark medieval survival modpack set in the ruins of a fallen kingdom.
The world is overrun by undead that feel less like wandering monsters and more like the remains of a shattered army — rusted armor, battered shields, and constant danger after nightfall.
This pack focuses on:
- knight-like undead threats
- heavier medieval-style combat
- dangerous exploration through ruins, towers, castles, and dungeons
- a harsher survival atmosphere without becoming an expert pack
To support that theme, the pack also includes custom KubeJS tweaks that shape how hostile mobs appear in the world:
- zombies and skeletons can spawn wearing rusted gear
- some zombies may carry shields
- skeletons become more dangerous as the world progresses
- baby zombies are removed to keep the difficulty focused on heavier, more thematic threats
- rusted equipment can break apart in combat, reinforcing the feeling of fighting decayed remnants of an old kingdom
The goal is to create a survival experience with a clear identity:
a broken kingdom, armed undead, and a world that feels hostile long after its fall.
