Description
This modpack explores the idea of what Minecraft might be like if Notch had never sold it, bringing back that childlike sense of horror. The Hardcore Darkness mod helps capture that feeling of unknown terror. This modpack also adds a variety of new weapons and structures through mods such as Spartan Weaponry, Better Survival, Ancient Guns, and Spartan Shields, along with structure-focused mods like Additional Structures, Aether: Lost Content Addon, BetterEndForge Backport, BetterNether, Caves Revamp: Underground Biomes, Recurrent Complex, and more.
