Minecraft... but hard.
Various changes have been made to mobs and the world to make everything more challenging. Bosses, enhanced enemy AI, mutants, chance cubes... anomalies. Not all is bad, though. There's a lot of stuff to help you fight against the toughest mobs! Explore the looter-shooter aspect brought to Minecraft with the Apotheosis mod. Weapon variants dropped by hostile mobs, affixes, gems, you name it. Did I mention there's guns?
Do you have what it takes to survive the night? Better yet, beating the dragon?
