Challenge yourself with the most extreme modpacks for Minecraft!

Players seeking thrilling quests, difficult mechanics, and other survival obstacles would love hardcore modpacks. For instance, you may need to constantly drink water and stay warm to avoid an untimely demise. This becomes amplified when you host your own server to play with friends!

Hardcore modpacks for Minecraft create a whole new way to play the game, as new survival mechanics are introduced. These primarily focus on managing health, food, drinking water, shelter, weather, and even equipment to defend yourself against dangerous mobs. Crafting recipes may also require extra resources too, resulting in an even more difficult time. Decide between Amnesia, Mustard Virus, Official Crafting Dead, and others to get started on your hardcore modpack adventure.

How to Play Hardcore Modpacks

Before anything, you and others will need to install CurseForge to begin downloading modpacks. For some, another launcher may be required and will be mentioned in its description or guide. Afterwards, you can host your own Minecraft server and choose any Hardcore modpack from our installer.
