Resurvival  

is a progression-stretching, combat/exploration-focused modpack designed to make Survival Mode truer to its name. 

Where vanilla Minecraft allows you to speedrun the experience in minutes, Resurvival thoughtfully redesigns progression so as to slow it down drastically, placing a major emphasis on resource management and pre-planning. 

Combat is also majorly emphasised, with raised spawn caps for monsters that hold far more important drops than normal being paired alongside many more mobility and offensive options.

Custom-modified versions of the Angel Islands and Amplified Nether datapacks, alongside highly customized Origins, biome & structures mods and thoroughly-tweaked Complementary Reimagined + Euphoria Patcher shaders bring Minecraft to life in ways you've never seen anywhere else before. 

(Check the gallery tab for a better look at what the pack has to offer!)

Although challenging and unique, the pack sits far closer to Raspberry Flavoured's Hard Mode in terms of game design than it does something like... RLCraft. It's my own weird spin on vanilla MC, so try and take it as such!

Due to the nature of worldgen in the pack, one or both of two suggestions are proposed here:

• Playing either with a higher render distance than normal to see as much of the terrain as possible,
• Installing Distant Horizons, which already has its settings configured inside the modpack for you for a strong balance of extra render distance and performance.

(That said, it's a big pack - 4-8 GB of allocated RAM recommended!!)

Progression Changes
 

Unlike vanilla MC...

• Sticks are no longer craftable - Instead, you now forage for them by breaking grass, chopping down trees, or carving up Old Bows and Fishing Rods from mobs.
  
  
• Stone Tools are swapped out for Flint Tools - Flint droprate from Gravel is raised considerably thusly, and can also sometimes be found in Coal Ore or drop from Skeletons. Their arrows can also be broken for Flint too!
  
  
• Furnaces now require Raw Copper to craft instead of Cobblestone, giving Copper Ore a significant use and encouraging you to make use of Campfires until you can obtain one.
  
  
• Flint and Steel are now the Firestarter, made with only two sticks! Consider roasting your meals and your enemies alive alike... It's quite an effective strategy.
  
  
• Diamond Gear now requires the Gem Forge to create, meaning crafting Diamond tools and armor is Nether-locked!
  
  
• The Nether is now locked behind the Ancient City Portal, which can only be opened with the Echo Igniter!
• ... And many more!

These changes aren’t for tediums sake, but to make every step of progression feel both exciting and meaningful once achieved. I hope it comes across that way for you when you play!

Core Mods

We've got...

• Bigger Stacks allows both 10x more handling capacity for regular items, whilst limiting foods to far smaller stack sizes due to...
  
  
• Spice of Life: Apple Pie Edition and Farmer's Delight, which encourage you to explore creating the best meals for powerful extra buffs.
  
  
• Wall-Jump and Combat Roll for enhanced mobility, both in combat and exploration.
  
  
• Warrior's Rage constantly encourages your barbarism, making you stronger with each successive kill. Enhanced AI, alongside Enemy Expansion, Species and Opposing Force turns enemy encounters into varied and fearsome affairs with every fight.
  
  
•  Players are given many more options in battle through mods like Backstabs Reforged and the custom-made Airstrikes enabling unique, stylish attack combos. Additionally, Origin abilities like Combat Bashes and Elytra Crits have never made combat more addicting than here.
  
  
• Archery Expansion and Shield Expansion bring forth new progression and skill ceilings both offensively and defensively, countering the deadliness of the enemies in the dark. 
  
  
• Mining Master reinvents enchanting with the cost-free Gem Forge and Smithing Table systems. Mine for powerful Enchanting Gems underground (Or trade for them with a Gem Trader) to become stronger than ever! Melt gems together in the Gem Forge to create Fusion Gems for even rarer enchantments!
  
  
• Sortilege completely overhauls the Enchanting Table into what is effectively a roulette wheel in place of the more determinate Enchanting Gems, in addition to capping the number of Enchantments an item can hold. This limit can be broken with the new Limitite item in Anvils, found as rare loot all over the world!
  
  
• Easy Anvils makes repairing tools and armour perpetually viable, whilst LootJS only pushes this further by making all Ore blocks drop XP when mined! This is important, since Mending is completely unobtainable!
  
  
• Mobs Properties Randomness, Custom Villager Trades and some exclusive resource packs introduce brand new spins on the Villagers and Wandering Trader.
  
  
•  Sortilege also alters death mechanics - Your hotbar and equipped armour, in addition to numerous common building blocks, will not be dropped when you die! Treasure, however will be lost... Or will it?
  
  
• Death & Taxes is used to remove the obnoxious slog of recovering lost items and instead replaces it with the Grimm Trader, a scary scavenger who will find and return your collectables to you... At a price. Do your best to earn Emeralds in the off-chance you meet a with a terrible fate!
  
  
• Cave Spelunking obliterates ores found deep inside stone, making strip-mining a pointless endeavour - Face your fears and go experience Galosphere's beautiful cave biomes instead!
  
  
• Sodium Dynamic Lights lets your held light items pierce the darkness around you!
  
  
• Curios allow for the convenient holding and useage of extra items,
  like Lanterns and Spyglasses, in addition to Artifacts trinkets that empower you greatly. 
  
  
• Numerous stucture mods, like the YUNG's Better series, in addition to a mostly-faithfully backported Trial Chambers bring the world to life.
  
  
• Dozens of QoL mods, performance mods, built-in and fine-tuned Complementary Shaders...
  
  ... And so much more.

Exclusive Content

Resurvival has custom content!

• The Owlytrian & Crabling Origins are tailor-made for Resurvival's unique world-generation for as fun a gameplay experience as possible! Master the Riot Claw's Groundpound to crush all those in your way, or max out your Elytra's Multi-Roll to become an indomitable King of the sky!
  
  
• Owlagers & Illhawks, Villagers and Illagers who can jump up and float down to get away from danger!
  
  
• Gem Trader, a Wanderer who sells Enchanting Gems instead of random junk!
  
  
• Fusion Gems, made by melting Enchanting Gems together in a Gem Forge for even more enchantments!
  
  
• Custom-built structures from the talented Calcyon, like the Ancient Gardens or Trader Ship (pictured above) add a wholly unique flair and challenge to Resurvival's world that cannot be found elsewhere.

Want to play without Sky Islands/Amplified Nether? 

Well... Resurvival and it's unique Origins have been designed around them, so I can't guaruntee they'll feel as purposeful if you were to remove the unique worldgen... But sure, you can do that!

In the modpack's directory: global_packs\required_data -> Removed Angel Islands Everywhere 111 and/or Amplified Nether 1.20.1, and boom - No more altered worldgen beyond new biomes and structures. 

If you're doing this, I would also suggest you consider removing Origins and Apoli (+ Apoli Stream Leak + SolApplePie Origins Fix) outright too - It'll give you better TPS, and at that point, you'll have a pretty grounded Resurvival experience again!

Want to use Resurvival on your own server?

There is no server pack, but here's the client-only mods you need to remove from the server-side for it to function:

Neko's Enchanted Books
Cull Less Leaves Reforged
Entity Model Features
Entity Texture Features
Euphoria Patcher
FancyMenu
FastChat
Figura
Oculus
Name Pain
Memory Settings
Oculus Flywheel Compat
Sound Physics Remastered
Sun and Moon: Celestial Configuration

Make sure the client and server have the same CONFIG FILES and GLOBAL PACKS FOLDERS, or else the server will throw a mismatched mods error at the client when they try to join. Rather than going through that hassle though, you could always consider...
