⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
Overview
Survivalist Essentials Official Modpack is challenging, but in some new and unique ways. There is advanced mob AI, health, hunger, thirst, heat/cold, and weather dynamics. Days have been extended to make exploring more feasible.
There is quite a variety of biomes. Each biome is a little more hilly than Vanilla to make exploration a bit more interesting. Includes a guidebook to help with progression and weather/temperature dynamics.
It is important to remember:
- The only way to craft Wooden Planks and Sticks is with a saw.
- Crude tools are necessary to create items needed for crafting your initial tools and crafting setup.
- Move fast or you will probably die.
Note: There is a great walkthrough, including all of this information in the Survivalist Essentials Guidebook you receive when you first log in. If you lose the book, it is trivial to recraft with some dirt blocks, check JEI for the recipe.
