PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE USE THE BUILT IN SHADERPACK, I HAVENT DONE ANY TESTING WITH IT OFF AND IT WILL LIKELY LOOK TERRIBLE.

As the name states, survival.. but hard.

Mobs too stupid? Fixed that.

Just sleeping the night away right before anything can spawn? Wait some more.

Requires Dusk and Cupboard mods, linked in External Mod Sources.

Mobs not carrying anything unique? Gear and rarities inbound.

What's that on the map? Fire Dragon?

Do you feel safe? Fixed that.

But don't think I just buffed mobs. You can easily reach a similar level of power. Spells, guns, item leveling, rarities, and so much more will give you that power curve you need. Just don't get too cocky.

And don't worry, there's so much more for you to find, so get out there!

Tissou's Zombie Pack: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/tissous-zombie-pack-optifine-1-7x-1-20

Quark Programmer Art & Basic Nether Ores 32x come preloaded with their mods, and don't have direct links nor can be removed from the files. I would not recommend using them in this pack.
