Description
HardUpgrade
HardUpgrade is a progressive hardcore mod for Minecraft 1.20.1, which radically changes the approach to survival. Now your abilities are not given to you right away — you need to earn them by developing three key areas: Mining, Fighting and Walking.
-
Basic mechanics At the beginning of the game, your character is weak and limited. To remove debuffs and increase performance, you need to accumulate experience points in the appropriate categories.
-
Mining Progress: Each destruction of blocks (stone, ore) gives points.
Removing restrictions: Up to level 50, the effect of Mining Fatigue is applied to the player.
Power-ups: Every 5 levels, your base digging speed increases by 0.1.
- Combat Progress: Defeat hostile and peaceful mobs to level up.
Health: Your maximum HP depends on your combat level.
Levels 1-10: +2 HP (1 heart) per level.
Levels 11-50: +1 HP (0.5 hearts) per level.
🏃 Walking Progress: Just explore the world. Each completed block brings you closer to a new level.
Removing restrictions: Up to level 50, the player is affected by the Slowness effect.
- Skill tree, for points received when leveling up
