Features & Additions
Some of Better Hardcore's changes requiere the usage of this resource pack:
- Hardcore darkness shader
- Custom item textures
- Font changes to support Energy/Stamina bar symbols

For the best experience, use the resource pack together with the datapack. Using only the datapack will result in odd symbols that stand for the UI elements and no custom textures. Custom items will appear as command blocks.
