Description

The words Finding Balance. the word finding is blue with white stars. the word balance is deep red with white flames.

About the pack

Ever find yourself ignoring features added post 1.14+?

This feeling paired with how fast creators blast through challenge modpacks- additionally with how fast I personally burn out on the concept of "Forever Worlds". I created Finding Balance as a way to encourage players to interact with features they otherwise would have no reason to use.

Finding Balance is a challenge pack focused on touching features that don't get much love post 1.14+ things like: boats, brewing, wandering traders- all have a use again. Torches and campfires now have a time limit, meaning nowhere is safe forever. Unique spider variants to keep you on your toes. Plenty of abandoned and lively structures underground to explore and loot, And with 16 unique ender eyes to collect. You must find a way to survive in a world where the sun hates you, and the darkness is breathing down your neck.

With 16 unique ender eyes tied to challenges/features like turtle scute farming, finding a trial chamber, or even just fishing. Will you be able to find the balance?

Main content

MINOR SPOILERS

  • The sun deals damage

Thank you MaybeJake for granting me permission to use the assets from Heroes Journey for the Icon!
