Description

The endless sands have many secrets... can you unlock them all?

 

Best played as a single biome - Desert world, this modpack is focused on increasing the difficulty and variety of content in Minecraft's Deserts, mainly focused providing unique structures and mechanics to create a compelling story. The addition of thirst acts as a limiting factor on how much you can travel, forcing base building and establishing a settlement, then foraging out from there to increase your foothold in the world. Better structures provide big jumps in gear and tech, however they come at a big risk with hundreds of zombies in a crypt with several spawners instead of just a single room.

 

To make deserts survivable, there are mods to get essential items such as wood, leather, and seeds without the more fertile biomes, all of which come together to make single-biomes worlds possible.

 

This modpack works entirely on it's own, but to download my specific map from the video, support me on Patreon!
