About
Ever wanted a little challenge to Minecraft without being too difficult or too easy? Without overpowered magic weapons? Without getting diamonds in 1 hour? Without doing the same thing everytime you start a new world? Then this Modpack might be the one for you!
Modern Cavemen offers new survival mechanics to the game and makes minecraft fun and challeging again!
Features
- Body and Environment Watch your thirst and temperature. If you get too cold or too thirsty, you will die fast.
- Better Combat Stop just clicking fast. You need to time your hits to win fights.
- Real Firemaking You can't just place a campfire. You must build it, add wood, and light it yourself.
- Real Tool Making No more punching trees to get tools right away. Find stones and materials to craft your tools step-by-step.
- Stamina You cannot run forever. Watch your energy so you don't get too tired.
- New Animals Discover new animals that act like real living creatures.
- ...and much more to discover!
Performance
- RAM: Give the game at least 6–8 GB. 8 GB is best.
- Shaders: It's possible, but don't. They might look strange with weather mods, like seeing the sun during a rainstorm.
- Specs: This pack needs a good computer. I recommend an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and an AMD RX 6600 (or something similar).
FAQ
- Q: Will you make this for other versions?
- A: Not right now. I might make a Forge 1.20.1 version later, but I need to fix performance first.
- Q: Can I play with friends?
- A: Yes, it should work on Multiplayer
- Q: Can I change the mods?
- A: Yes! Feel free to change settings or add your own mods.
- **Q: My Perfomance is bad when using shaders!
- A: Simply disable/remove the Mod "Simple Clouds"

- If you are too hot: Go in the water or stay in the shade.

How do I stay hydrated?
