Minecraft Monday - Harder than Hard

Minecraft Monday is Today!

Hello everyone,

I am sorry this is Minecraft Monday was later in the day, but I had forgotten to get screenshots for what I was doing until later. Well, do you want to know what this Minecraft Monday is all about? Harder than Hard, that is for sure. What I mean is, I am going to show you the coolest mod pack for Minecraft - in my opinion, anyways. I bring you Mad Pack 2.0, a mod pack of survival and tech. If you read on, I will show you screenshots of my base, some cool monsters, and some of the items I have gathered since about a week of playing. I hope you all enjoy today's Minecraft Monday - Harder than Hard:

As I already said, Mad Pack is a mod pack of survival and tech. There are a crazy amount of mods, and everything wants to kill you. When I say everything, I really mean it. I went to go kill a sheep to get wool and the whole herd comes after me. "QueenAshlee was slain by Sheep". Not what I was expecting. And when I first started out, the controls were messed up and I had no idea how to do anything. I still don't know what half the things are for, actually. But luckily I had been watching Lachlan and Preston do their mad pack series (which is what got me interested in the mod pack in the first place) so I already knew the basics to survival. I started off finding a good location and I built a house in a hillside which I often call the Hobbit Hole. The picture on the right shows what part of my home looks like now, where I store all my items. Just so you know, each and every one of those boxes are full or nearly full.

Along with a room full of a lot of chests as you already saw, I now have a pretty big farm, crafting area, and mine. The farm includes berries, vegetables, fruits, wheat, and "magic plants". For the magic plants, I have a coal plant that grows coal, and three that produces minicio essence which is used in creating other magic plants. Eventually, I want to have diamond plants, ender pearl plants, stuff like that, but it takes time. Yet, I think I can get iron or maybe osmium. Either way, I have a crazy amount of ores and plants. My farm is shown on the left. The magic plants are the ones that are just dark green leaves.

One thing I refuse to change right now is the "/gamerule keepInventory true" because if that was set to false... well, let's just say I die a lot. In fact, I currently have giant bee things outside of my Hobbit Hole house making hives. And so whenever I go outside, I get poisoned and end back up at my house. Even if I use The Ender sword. Not to mention every night I hear something blow up just
outside my house and when I look out there, all my trees are gone. And trust me, it is not a creeper doing it. The picture to the right shows some of the more common mobs in Mad Pack from the Lycanite's Mobs mod.I have encountered a lot of those. Also, that reindeer head? It is not a reindeer at all.

Along with my farm, I have a pretty cool mine, but I have a habit of vein mining so I get a lot of monsters because of it. Plus, down towards the bottom of my mine, I hear these ghost-pig sounding things but I can't find them anywhere. Along with my mine, I have really cool items and armor. Okay, nothing extreme yet, I suppose, but still really cool. In fact, I have a chest plate made of Dark Steel that supposedly has "Glider" on it. But, considering I am inside most of the time, I never really tried it out. And, as I already mentioned, I have The Ender sword which is also made of Dark Steel. Along with having great durability, I managed to enchant it with level 8 which gave me "Unbreaking I" which is pretty good. Also, I forgot to mention, my Dark Steel Chestplate got an enchantment of Absorption II which gives me three extra hearts. The ores I own are showed above, left. I am still trying to decide what to do with it all. To make a sword, armor, or more of the "technology" items available in the game...

I have had some really cool finds, like Pandora's Box. The first box I opened I did in my house. I was thinking it might play music or something, so I opened it in my home. Well... let's just say it turned everything into Mooshroom Land around and inside my home. That is why, in the picture to the right,
all the land near my statue-people (from mobs I found/killed) is all made of Mycelium instead of grass. When I opened the box, I panicked and instantly thought (just for a moment) Corrupt from Terraria was spreading. Just for a moment, of course. Also, I actually found a Mooshroom cow that spawned off a little from my house. I wonder how many more I will get?

While raiding a medium-sized Wizard Castle - after dying multiple times to a phantom and about six ghosts - I found a really cool artifact that, when held, let's me breath underwater. Along with that, when used, it shoots explosive fire arrows. And the best part is? After using the arrows, the artifact fixes itself overtime. So that was a really cool find of mine. The picture shows the artifact in it's case. The statue person on the left is my Minecraft Skin and the one on the right is one I found.

I also created Luggage - (nickname being Luggy). It is basically this chest that, when places, follows you around, picking up any dropped items. You can easily open Luggage like any normal chest, and it cannot be killed by anything. You can also pick up Luggage and it will go into your inventory. I just thought that would be a pretty cool thing to make. Yet, I had no idea it was a pet at first. I had originally made it with plans to use it as a backpack since I did not have enough stuff to make one yet.

I hope you enjoyed this Minecraft Monday - Harder than Hard. Sorry for the lack of good screenshots, I had forgot to get ones of the mobs. But next week I hopefully will have something from the Hunger Games on the NexusMC server, maybe? Either way, I hope you enjoyed learning a little bit on how I set up my Madpack beginning adventure. Also, let me quickly add, my difficulty level is very high. That is why I still keep "/gamerule keepInventory true" on. Keep an eye out for future posts!
