Catalyst - Parasites
Modpackby UwU_Peanut
The world ended not with a bang, but with a hunger from something deep within...
Description

The worlds eyes were directed towards the sky, as brimstone and ash rained to the ground.
The Nether had split from its core, and the resulting debris pelted the earth. But as the hellish planet assaulted the surface, something stirred deep underground.
Something woke up.

Catalyst is a hardcore apocalypse survival modpack that will test your will to survive against a brand new threat from the unknown. You must use every tool at your disposal for your task... to not just survive, but thrive in this broken world. Find food and water to stay alive, craft weapons and armor to defend yourself from the deadly horde that now roams the land.
Can you survive the apocalypse?
Catalyst tries to accomplish what most Scape and Run modpacks can't; to have a fair and balanced experience, while still being a hardcore modpack. You will find endless config changes and custom content to aid in your endless fight for this world. All mods are designed to interact with each other in a way that makes gameplay feel fluid, fair, and complete.

- 300+ Unique Quests, adding a massive overarching story.
- Magic & Fantasy, the tech in this modpack is kept minimal, and most tech is included late game.
- Unique Bosses, explore the world and challenge difficult bosses for defense against the parasites.
- Rituals & Dark Arts, use evil to fight a greater threat.
- Immersive Gameplay, dynamic seasons, temperature, custom music, sounds, and screen effects.
- Adaptive Mobs, defend against a ever changing world that will have you use every resource to defend.
- Backported Features, no worry about being on an older version!
- Custom Content, never before seen structures, items, events, and worlds. No spoilers!
- And so much more!
ALL FEATURES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE
