Mustard Craft

Modpack

by Random

A lightweight, classic-styled modpack with horror elements, based on a dream I had, adapted to be fully playable. Focused on unique mechanics and unnerving atmosphere.

Description

DISCLAIMER

Although not the main focus, this pack does contain jumpscares. It is designed for (and majority of playtesting has taken place in) multiplayer, although for the best experience it is recommended to play with a smaller group using the in-game proximity voice and text chat. Video settings are left open to change, however the defaults provide the intended atmosphere we were trying to create.

Main features

A unique, Beta-oriented style, combining with modern features and custom mechanics to create an entirely new feel.
A custom-made main menu to fit the pack's atmosphere (with mostly shitpost/inside joke splashtexts)
Horror aspects with unique mechanics and counterplay to be learned. No single particular aspect is overwhelmingly present, yet all have their own parts and locations where they shine the most. Some horror is simply ambient distractions, others will affect the way you approach various scenarios.
Optional Beta world gen, with some custom structures to find and explore
Gameplay tweaks to increase difficulty, and put a new spin on the vanilla mobs and mechanics you know.
Full VR support, configured to still feel in line with the classic style as much as possible
Built-in performance mods for incredibly smooth gameplay paired with the low graphics

Tips for survival

This modpack can be very unforgiving if you don't know some of the mechanics. Here I'm going to vaguely go over some main pointers that can help you get a gist of what to do, while giving minimum spoilers:

No matter what, stay out of the dark; whether in a cave or approaching night. Torches held in your hand only provide visual lighting and will not actually help you, and they won't last forever when placed. More expensive or rare light sources last longer.
Don't respawn if you die at night without a spawnpoint in a safe, well lit base. Just don't. You WILL get spawnkilled. If you want, you can Spectate from the death screen and respawn again in survival using a button in the inventory while you're in spectator
Shields cannot be crafted, but sword blocking is back with a unique twist. During the first 6 ticks of a block, players are able to parry all damage, losing no durability and knocking back their attacker to create distance. However, blocking after this period will only absorb 25% of damage. You will need good timing to take on enemies unharmed.
Iron nuggets can be used to craft an Oil Canister, which can be used to re-light some light sources.
Mobs may spawn with unique tools or abilities that give them dangerous capabilities. Always be on guard.
When in multiplayer, players will enter a 'downed' state upon reaching 0 HP, and be forced into a crawl, unable to use items or jump. Other players will have 50 seconds to find and revive a downed player by holding right click on them. Multiple players reviving at the same time makes the process go faster.
Manage your stamina well. If it drops all the way to zero, you will face the penalty of being unable to sprint until it regenerates to full. Stamina regenerates 2x faster if you aren't moving.
Both the in-game voice chat and text chat are proximity-based, meaning you won't be able to hear people/see messages past a certain range. Players can use the /shout command in chat to significantly increase their text chat range.
