Bladeborne - Medieval Soulslike
Modpackby deshidesu
A true RPG experience... where the monsters are absolutely cracked.
Description

WORK IN PROGRESS
My current work does not represent the final product. Play at your own discretion.
Suggestions and feedback are welcome! Your support is much appreciated.
A fantasy medieval-themed modpack focused on combat, exploration, and powerful enemies!
OptiFine is NOT SUPPORTED!
Bladeborne maximizes performance using cutting-edge performance mods, improving frame rates, loading speeds, and optimized data.
Important Tip to Bladeborne Users
In this pack, weapons will not deal any damage to mobs unless they have Mine and Slash stats applied.
To start fighting effectively, you have two options:
- Loot weapons from mobs that already have the necessary stats.
- Infuse your own weapons using the required materials.

Note From Author:
Hey everyone — I'm back!
I’ve seen how much you’ve been enjoying the modpack, and I truly appreciate the support. That’s why I’ve decided to revisit and refine some areas that still need polish or a full overhaul.
To stay focused and streamline development, I’ve temporarily removed a few non-essential mods:
- Shader-related mods – I’m avoiding GPU-related issues for now.
- MCA – It will return in a future update after some dedicated improvements.
- FTB Quests – I believe this feature needs thoughtful design and balance, but it's currently too large a task for me to tackle solo.
To make things easier for players, I’ll be releasing major updates every 2–3 months, with exceptions made for critical bug fixes.
Thanks for playing — more exciting changes are on the way!
Basic Controls:
Battle Mode - R
Lock On - Middle Mouse Button
Dodge - Left Shift provided that you have the skill unlocked.
Sprint - Left Alt set as toggle, feel free to change.
Sneak - Left Control
Pick Up Items - Left Click/Sneak
View Hub Screen - H upgrade your stats and view your skill tree here
View Learned EF Skills - K
Zoom - G provided that you have a Spyglass.
Open Toolbelt - X provided that you have a Toolbelt
Open Minimap - M provided that you have an Atlas
Parcool mod is included, please take a look at the keybinds!
Notice:
This modpack:
- Should run fine on 8 GB RAM laptops, unless you have a very budget CPU.
- Is absolutely beautiful with shaders. Need a shader? I recommend Complementary Shaders - Reimagined.
- Is in development. Expect some bugs.
To get the most performance out of your computer:
- Allocate more than or equal to 6GB of ram to your launcher. (No more than 12GB unless playing with more than 2 players.)
- Install Java 21 and set it as your default Java path. Instructions may differ depending on your launcher.
- Use custom JVM arguments listed here.
- Use a dedicated server, or rent a server with a good hosting service like Kinetic Hosting!
- Lower your graphics settings or disable resource-packs.
Special thanks to u/starlevel01 for his detailed post on maximizing performance.
Install Chunky to pre-generate chunks, quickly, efficiently, and safely.
- Customizable Character with Skill Trees!
- Mythical Creatures! Dragons, Sea Serpent, Cyclops, and more!
- 100+ New Structures and Dungeons
- 15+ Conquerable Bosses
- Play with Friends! Using an already-installed e4mc!
