Version 1.6.8.5R is now available for 1.21.1 & 1.6.8.5R-LTS1 for 1.20.1!

I recommend 1.20.1/1.21.1 modpack owners to update their Pure Suffering version to 1.6.7.x+ to fix spawning bugs caused by the mod in previous versions.

WARNING: The ANTI-GRIEF feature is now disabled by default for 1.6.x+! (Still optional)
I have moved to NeoForge with 1.20.4+ being that it will no longer be compatible with Forge, if my community is against this, I will consider making forge releases as well.
If you are confused about what NeoForge is, then here is the link explaining it: https://neoforged.net/news/theproject/

Thank you all for your support and patience, and I will actively be supporting this mod.

Please note that versions that add new config options may cause crashing when updating. Reset the config and reenter the settings when this occurs!

Compatible Shaders: (Shaders without bugs caused by my mod)
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/shaders/miniature-shader (Breaks nothing, works flawlessly)
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/shaders/sildurs-basic-shaders (Sun tilt needs adjustment)
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/shaders/cyanide-shaders (It just works)
There are probably more shaders, but these are the ones I found that worked the best after testing 72 different shaders...

What does the mod do?

The Pure Suffering Mod is a Minecraft invasion mod that intends on making surviving the night scary again!

Invasions will initially spawn every few nights or so, where an endless wave of mobs will spawn until the night is over.

As time goes on in your Minecraft world, invasions will increase in severity and tiers, making vanilla Minecraft look like a piece of cake.

The New Config System: (1.6.x+)

- Many config options are now also world-based game rules which can be edited in the Pure Suffering game rules tab, or in-game commands.

- By default, Pure Suffering game rules will be set to the values set in the Pure Suffering common config file.

- Due to this behavior, game rules will take precedence over config options unless the "overrideGameRules" config option is set to true. It is recommended for modpack owners to set this to true if they plan on changing pure suffering game rule config options in future updates of their modpack.

- Some invasion features are dimension-specific and can be changed via Pure Suffering dimension config files. These are automatically generated when loading into a Minecraft world.

- The "overworldLikeDimensions", "netherLikeDimensions", & "endLikeDimensions" config options can be used to apply overworld, nether, or end invasions to a modded dimension.

- To add special invasion types to a modded dimension, it'll have to be done either through a mod or datapack.

The New Music System: (1.6.x+)

- When loading a Minecraft World, a "puresufferingmusic" file will be generated in your .minecraft folder.

- A file will be generated for each invasion difficulty in the puresufferingmusic folder based on the name of the difficulty.

- Music files can be placed in those folders to play custom music when an invasion of that difficulty occurs.

- Music files must be .ogg based files as they are the only sound file format supported by Minecraft (mp3, wav, etc... file formats must be converted to .ogg files to work).

- Make sure your music volume slider is higher than 0 if you intend on listening to the music.

Q&A:

Q: Can I use this mod for my modpack?

A: Feel free to do so!

Q: The Invasions aren't hard enough or are too much, how can I adjust the difficulty?

A: The common config for the mod allows for the adjusting of most aspects for invasions.

Q: My Shaders are glitching out during Invasions, how can I fix this?

A: Many shaders are not compatible with the custom sky boxes some invasions use, the problems can be fixed by either by using a different shaders, messing around with the settings of your current one, or disabling the rendering features in the client config.

Q: How can I add my own Invasions?

A: Either via a data pack or creating an add-on mod, datapack info can be found here: https://github.com/TheAGamePlayer/The-Pure-Suffering-Mod/blob/main/Datapack.txt

Q: Where can I suggest features and report bugs?
