Welcome, bros.
In derad-bros Ultimate Survival, Minecraft's early/mid-game survival-mode progression is altered to be more challenging. You will need to gather resources and protect yourself from the elements. Choosing to go about survival mode the same way as vanilla Minecraft is possible, but requires a lot more work.
If you enjoy vanilla survival mode but wish it were more difficult and closer to real-life survival, then this mod is for you.
We hope you enjoy our take on a refreshed survival experience.
Features:
- Base mining speed (no tool) is reduced significantly.
- Rocks will appear around the world. Use them to mine blocks or throw them, or place them together to make a nice path
