Description

This modpack is a recreation of the FORGE LABS Alaskan Wilderness Modpack on Modrinth.

A modpack perfect for survial with harsh environments and survial aspects, including features like:

  • perishable and seasonal foods with varying nutrition, expanded cooking.
  • Expanded health featurs like thirst and temperature.
  • More creatures/mobs !!
  • Large expansive world.
  • Changing sseasons !
  • More farming.
  • Harder early game (No tree punching, knapping flint for tools etc)
  • More decorations and furniture !
  • Water purifcation.
  • Harder nights !
  • Ambient sounds
  • Distant Horizons !

 

[Not tested Multiplayer yet but will work on it as soon as I can !]

 

Recommendation :

-For now I recomment between 8GB-12GB of RAM allocated

-To account for the large terrain I would also suggest pre-generating the world
