Hi

What I find amazing is how you manage to casually mod your Minecraft, while I spend 3 days trying to find a working version of world edit after updating Minecraft 😂

It was still harder trying to run these these mods than to actually play them.

A lot of those mods could be fun if you also reduce the enemy density, so every enemy is a big task to take down but you don't get overwhelmed by just their quantity. Kinda like a souls game, where every single enemy has the potential to kill you but if you are careful you shouldn't be dealing with an unbeatable horde that often.

Another mod I recommend is Sanity: Descent into Madness mod since it has cool insanity effects and absolutely punishes the player for being careless in a dangerous situation, even if they have good gear.

Should've added a couple more mods including Danger Close which makes torches, campfires and the stone cutter burn you or cut you. Also, Bad to the Bone whichs makes you nauseous or anything else relating to doing anything like having fatigue doing things, etc.. A bonus mod is Armor Weight, as it implies gives certain armor become heavy, which makes the player slow depending on the armor they have on.

Would have loved to include the first aid mod which splits up your health into your body parts, giving you debuffs whenever certain parts are damaged or you get one shotted when hit on the head :)

I've been doing challenge runs with a quite similar arrangement of mods to the one you presented in the video for a very long time now. There definitely are strategies to block off the mobs and have a safe base. My favourite strategy is finding any kind of plantable food or cows so that you can start your base off without having to travel far for anything. 1st goal is to get a bunch of building blocks (preferably cobblestone) and at least 4 iron, we need that 4 iron for a bucket and a shield, the bucket being the single most versatile item in the game. You will use that water bucket for base construction. Now for the base itself you should NOT build it over an ocean, a lot of mods will make the mobs either fly up from the ocean, or just make it way easier for them to destroy the base from below. The spot for your 1st base should be either a small island in an ocean surrounded by no other landmass (perfect, but rare), or a flat area that is down low (Not on top of a hill, or next to hills.) Now you can start constructing the base. You can survive your first night by placing buckets of water around the walled off area which you spend the whole night defending because it's still not completely safe, but it makes the job several times easier. After that first night the strategy goes into digging around your base, placing bottom half slabs as the walking surface all around it (which prevents most attempts of mobs pillaring up to you), then covering everything with water flowing outwards, and making the walls higher (make sure the water is flowing off of them, but that they have a block or two above the water, also covering the top surface of the source block). This should get rid of most of the mobs and you should generally feel safe inside the base. Later on a good base design that basically lets nothing in is having 4 buckets of lava and a bunch of cobblestone. You make 4 corner pillars that go very high up and start to go down to connect to the other pillars' stairs. Then you place lava on the top so it spreads and creates a giant wall across the staircase you made. 4 Lava buckets (you can technically do it with 2, but much more blocks are required that way, and lava is abundant once you find it anyway) and a couple of stacks of cobble for a nearly 100% mobproof base. I might just do a run with all the mods listed as another challenge. Thanks for reading the rant, I've just been hyperfixated on minmaxing minecraft on these hyper difficulties and theorycrafting as much as possible, as i enjoy it a lot.

Hey, guy that commissioned Engulfing Darkness here! Thank you a million for including the mod in this video, there is a lot of things coming in the future for this mod such as the Burnout mechanic, which should make Dynamic Lights users very happy, seeing the mod be presented in this video has certainly given me the motivation to continue planning things out for it

I'd love to see more mods that add difficulty that aren't just like "Fuck you." and are designed to counter anything the player could possibly do in janky and frustrating ways.

I just tried making a hardcore world, and.... it ended badly. I made a hole in the ground, covered it up, and placed a campfire as my source of light. I began mining down to get further away from the surface and.... the mobs got to me. I panicked and placed dirt to further cover up my tunnel and descended deeper in my tunnel. Without a source of light, I died to the darkness.

I love the excitement in your voice when you imagine all the ways people could suffer through this

I could hear Squat sounding more and more like a psychopath and/or hyped up about darkness being able to kill you on top of everything else. He sounded really giddy about it

5:05 that baby spider broke the sound barrier

We need a sequel for this video. It is wonderful.

i would love to see someone playing this in hardcore

Epic! Amazing work compiling mods as always!

Those who are not afraid of dying usually survive so I'm gonna get these mods, come across these unspeakable horrors and go absolutely berserk!

You should try out the Manic and Sanguine datapacks. They have mod versions but the datapack has the same features. They are both made by the same developer. Manic adds a sanity function so your sanity goes down in dark areas, rituals, custom creatures and Sanguine adds blood moons. Both have custom mobs and Manic has this structure which has a boss you can summon inside.

Hi @asianhalfsquat. I have a few ideas for some more Minecraft conversions. Number 1 is turning Minecraft into Minecraft dungeons. Number 2 is turning Minecraft into Minecraft legens. I think that it will be really cool, seeing what you put together.😊

That progressive difficulty mod is a really great find. Thank you for enlightening us

Video suggestion : how to turn Minecraft into Doom Eternal

I'll definetely try this pack some time in the future. Only thing i would change is the darkness harming you. Also i'm adding my mod Alterlands, because it not only features accesories that can help a lot with fights and mitigating debuffs, but also because the mod introduces 2 extra difficulties, the second one being the hardest and what i'm gonna enable right at the start. This pack seems impossible but with some practice i sure can get something done. Great vid man!

5:05 That lil spider zooming across the screen got me

I would recommend choosing either Nightmare Epic Siege OR Improved Mobs, because both mods add improved AI for vanilla mobs, so when I had both of them together, the two AI's conflicted with each other and caused ticking entities which would crash the game almost immediately after loading up a world. So if you're having this issue, hopefully reading this comment saved you a good couple hours.

I'd like to watch someone speedrun mc with this

6:56 triggered the Deflect Card 😆 (Also great video)

the fact that mobs can use tnt, lava , pearls, f&s really gives me the chill down my spine...

Epic Seige's evil step child is a mod I gave a chance once to see if it was truly a worthy successor. I liked that it let you have the daylight to prepare but pretty much made skipping the night impossible given Mobs follow you. Underground. Like they don't bug you much on the surface during the day but they know you're there. Combining it with advanced AI just plain suicide. XD There is a reason why these two are on my "do not install stupid fool" list along with Ice and Fire and the Insanity gauge mods.

I like using a dynamic lights datapack for Engulfing Darkness so holding torches can hold the darkness effect at bay - I'd use a mod instead, but as it turns out, most dynamic light mods are client-side only and don't usually affect Engulfing Darkness and how it checks if players are in the dark.

I did this once with Nightmare Epic Siege, Mo Creatures, Angry Mobs, Animalium, and a bunch more fun things like structures and terrain and it was insanely difficult!

Somebody needs to do a series on this.

Born in chaos would be another great mod for adding a larger variety of monsters to the game. Adds everything from new zombies and skeletons, to bosses and horrifying nightmares.

I love it how for each of your videos there is something funny/crazy happening in the background in the start.

PLEASE MAKE PART 2 THIS VIDEO GOT ME BACK INTO MINECRAFT

this feels like an official april fools update due to how brutal this modpack is 🤣

You should add the cave dweller mod. It basically adds this creature that makes gave sounds and chases you when it spots you. It also does a pretty high amount of dmg.

Love your modpacks including your adventure modpack!

We need to have a live stream where you try to play Minecraft with all these mods.

I did a modpack like this once in 1.12.2 and a mod combo stucked to me, Epic Siege Mod, Hardcorr Darkness, and First Aid. This combo made so skeletons shoot you from so far they are completely engulfed in darkness and aim at the head, which with First Aid was an instakill.

If you want to mod it further than just the basic mobs and creatures of Vanilla Minecraft, Scape and Run Parasites is for you. It adds a multitude of parasitic mobs that slowly get harder as the world ages (Similar to how progressive difficulty works although not in Milestones), in which these parasites start spreading creature to creature which turns them into parasitic variants that are much more difficult paired with a biome that spreads over your world manifesting an enormous amount of parasites. It spreads through blocks as you can assume but this makes bases temporary as the parasites spread further. And a side fact about the parasitic mobs is that they disguise themselves as their regular counterparts until you get close to them which immediately makes them attack you, and this does affect passive mobs entirely. I think it would be a great addition to add more time pressure to finish the challenge before the world is uninhabitable. Let me know what you think!

I would love to see Wadzee beat a Minecraft that is sick as this!! would be a really interesting watch!

I've been trying to find mods that can make my gameplay harder but without going too far from vanilla, thanks for the recommendations!!

This reminds me of those video games that are so unfairly difficult that it's not even fun hard like Elden ring, It's just pure suffering.

I need to see someone do a challenge where they see how long they can survive this in hardcore lol

One fantastic way I think to make this is much more fun experience is to utilize the mob horde mechanics from the mod where you get increased difficulty for entering nether and defeating the dragon. By sending the mobs in hordes, the player would get time to prepare at first and as life goes on it will just get harder and harder. It would be truly like a wave based survival game. In addition, you could add stuff like Create, or other mods that add defensive measure for the player to use, this way you actually have somewhat of a chance against the ever increasing difficulty.

Add tough as nails, remove Nightmare Epic Siege(lets be real, that makes things impossible to set up any kind of long term base), add in some form of buffs you can get with a lot of work that are better than vanilla stuff, and you just might have a difficult pack that's fun to play. :D

The thin air mod would have also made a good addition to this

Now do a part 2 where you add mods that make the game possible. Like better weapons and armor and items to get out of sticky situations so the game is still really hard but your power level also increases.

Pogchamp, I used to play through elden ring mods with my friend but it was too easy now I have another bunch of mods to try! Besides RLcraft ofc

Great video! There is a mod that is incredible hard and its called assimilated mobs. Its like the monster from the movie "The thing" and the mobs can assimilate other mobs to become stronger. You should try it!

Someone should gather the best players and challenge them to a 100 days in this modpack

Imagine a Brutal% speedrun, with all of these mods installed!

Tysm for the spotlight on the Epic Siege mod! When my friend was helping me test, he built a fortress with a water moat that was surprisingly effective. Creepers in water can’t destroy blocks. Also, we lined the bottom of the fort with copper blocks so that zombies couldn’t dig up. That, and, we dug to -128 which made fighting a little easier. I can’t imagine the existential angst using all these mods would create.

I have some suggestions if you want to make this packed full of action and fun. (Of which I cannot guarantee that it is fun). -Download any mod you can find that has bosses. -Download every Minecraft weapon mod your PC can handle. -Download a lot of mob mods This way, it'll be like fighting a 3d Terraria Blood Moon and Solar Eclipse whilst surrounded by water candles.

Imagine all this..... in VR!

My friend and I finally beat this insanity by simply speed running. For those of you who are interested I strongly suggest having a pillow to scream in, and sticking with whoever your playing with in caves so you can avoid the darkness, also take your time.

How about that one mod that literally just turns your world sideways? So now you’re not only dealing with thousands of blood thirsty op mobs but now you have to deal with the 3 seconds of safety you have to plan how you’ll traverse the place

bros been pushing out bangers for years, keep up!

perfect mods for my hardcore survival modpack

Brutal doom

This doesn't seem like making Minecraft brutal so much as it is making Minecraft blatantly unfair.

2:20 What, is THAT. A creeper riding a chicken? Now I'm hooked

You can add champions mod and edit a config to increase the chances of a blood moon. Apotheosis is good with the mini bosses. A good combination is hostile villages and village spawnpoint to make the early stages mire difficult.

A mod i recommend is lycanites mobs, even though i havent seen it updated for newer versions, it brings in hundreds of terrifying monsters to your game, and some are pretty difficult

Truely hardcore mode

And add mods like Lycanite’s mobs which add new mobs to the game which are tough in bug numbers and have armor penetration stat, so even if you are wearing the best armor in the game you will still take at least 1 HP damage

i really want to see some doom players attempt these mods

I’ve been looking for a new hard modpack (got bored of RLcraft and Greg tech) impeccable timing!

Truely brutal 😱

Another mod to consider for making things more difficult: Primal core. (Possibly also some of its addons.) Makes it so that at the start of a game (or each time you respawn if you forget to set a spawn point), you can't just jump right into things by punching down trees. First, you have to bang rocks together to make primitive tools, like in real-life survival situations.

You should add a mod called "THE INDOMITABLE HUMAN SPIRIT" for when regardless of how hard the other mods are, you still fight back knowing that the cruel suffering has its own purpose

so basically don’t starve

0:43 :(

I would love to see someone try to beat the game with these difficulty conditions. Mad kudos to whoever can pull it off.

I thought of a random video idea where you use mods to turn minecraft into an epic fantasy world, I'd personally enjoy watching that

I hope the part 2 is more about making the player another menace itself so it gets aa brutal as playing doom or overkill but with mostly melee

I'm amazed you didn't add Atomicstryker's Infernal Mobs. It's a classic and makes boss fights appear out of nowhere!

I really want to see a content creator downloading these mods make a series

Hey, Improved mobs Paired with First Aid is just pure pain. Skeletons aim for your head and its always an insta-kill. Escaping mobs is not even close to possible thanks to their ability to summon parrots/phantoms/guardians. Take that and add mods like Zombie extreme and enhanced celestials to it, at that point you are just asking to be tortured. I have made a custom modpack including these mods and plenty more to worsen people's already bad lives. That aside some mods like bunker down, quark, mekanism, gun mods, healing campfire make the experience a lot better. (Ngl the armor and weapons in Zombie Extreme is pretty good but you can still die)

which version are you using for all of these mods?

Bro just KEEPS GOING

“Progressive difficulty” has most of the quotes terraria has such as “The ancient spirits of light and dark have been awoken” and “Impending doom approaching”. I just thought about pointing it out

Thank you for this, now I can make minecraft the most stressful game ever :>

Finally useful mods, thank you duderz!

You are a Legend Bro!!!

You sound so happy when you talk about the difficulty :D

...so he basically turned Minecraft into Doom.

A mod I recommend would be Advent of Ascension. It adds tons of difficult mobs, bosses, and dimensions, and a large part of the difficulty is just the confusion and complexity alone. Not sure if it has been added to more modern versions though.

Warmed my terraria shaped heart to see the references to that game in one of the mods

4:41 seeing mobs rapidly approching your location from hundred of blocks away is another kind of terrifying

new vid! absolutely amazing

So anyone remember back when Wadzee did those videos where he beat minecraft in hardcore on hard modes... yea I think he needs to beat this pack in hardcore now

Just get the mod where you can record, because we all know the cameraman never dies

Awsome video man 👍

I want to see you survive this😈🔥

It’d be pretty funny if mobs would try to run away when they get on low health, just to make it harder for you to kill them knowing their suffering just as much as you are.

I'm kind of shocked someone hasn't made a mod that populates your world with AI builders, like yourself. Imagine wondering around and finding a massive structure in production, and it turns out it's one of your fellow builders just doin what builders do. If it were up to me, they would spawn with random skins, can mine, hunt, fight hostile mobs, and build different structures. Maybe a random building from a preset amount.

Finally a worthy challenger! Our battle will be legendary!

"and this is where I decided to stop adding more mods" now I feel a slight motivation to make an over-the-top hardmode difficult modpack... good thing I don't know how to do that lol
