Description

This modpack is still experimental

This modpack is currently available only for version 1.20.1. I will update it regularly and try other mods when something interesting is found. Stay tuned!

About this Modpack

Survival's Instinct is a modpack designed for players seeking a challenging and immersive survival experience. It balances performance optimization with engaging mechanics, offering a perfect mix of difficulty and adventure.

With improved world generation, dynamic sounds, and an expansive dungeon-crawling experience, you’ll need to carefully manage your resources, brace yourself for unpredictable dangers, and survive until the end.

This is the modpack I use when I want to enjoy solo survival adventures.
