Permadeath+ is a hardcore modpack that slows down progression and makes every part of the game more challenging. Every system in Minecraft has been reworked to push your survival skills to the limit.
Features Include:
- Progressive Difficulty that makes the world increasingly dangerous as you progress
- Harder mobs, with both vanilla and new mobs gaining improvements and unique abilities
- Overhauled advancement trees built specifically for the modpack
- Many new mini-bosses to conquer
- Many performance mods for a smoother experience
- Tornadoes and storms that ravage the land
- A tougher farming experience with changing seasons
- A fishing overhaul that makes fishing actually worthwhile
- Harder natural healing combined with a thirst mechanic
- Temperature mechanics powered by Cold Sweat
- Randomized respawns unless a Respawn Obelisk is used
- More realistic torches
- F3 debug disabled, with maps, compasses, and clocks becoming more important
- An item physics overhaul
- A sound engine overhaul paired with tons of new ambient sounds
- Scarcer ores that become harder to obtain as progression advances
- Additional tiers of armor and tools for expanded progression
- Many new effects, items, and potions that can be both blessings and curses
- New and more challenging boss fights for the Wither and Ender Dragon
- New curses that add an element of risk to enchanting
- Dangerous oceans filled with new aquatic threats
- Enhanced world generation featuring deeper oceans, improved mountains, more realistic rivers, and underground rivers
Important for Performance
Permadeath+ contains over 300 mods, so a large computer and 6+ gigabytes of ram allocated is recommended.
Multiplayer Compatibility
This modpack makes it easy to play with friends, featuring mods like Essential, Simple Voice Chat, plus a few others that improve communication. In version 100, Essential was removed due to poor performance issues and was replaced by e4mc.
I also recommend using this music pack alongside the modpack. it’s totally optional, but it fits the atmosphere really well.
