HexCraft is a handcrafted, realism-rooted, horror-ish, fantasy modpack that drops you into a mystical world where every step must be earned. Magical creatures roam lush, enchanted lands, but beneath the wonder lie the shattered remains of a modern world—long gone, but not entirely dead. Hexcraft is a dark fantasy journey through a mystical post-apocalypse, where ancient sorcery meets broken technology, and every ruin tells a story.

🎨 Now with a haunting new coat of paint, powered by the Ashen resource pack. Every biome, building, and blood ritual now looks as grim and beautiful as it feels.
🔥 Hardcore Survival Meets Arcane Lore This isn’t just magic slapped onto Minecraft. HexCraft rebuilds survival from the ground up. There are no in-built minimaps or fast-travel menus here—you must craft your way to orientation and connection. Instead, use cartography tables and standard maps to chart your journey, mark landmarks, and navigate the world like a true explorer. Mark your way with banners and signs. Find friends only by crafting magical Heartstones. Exploration is tangible, orientation is earned, and survival demands intention.:
- 💧 Thirst & Temperature – Purify water, cook warm meals, build heated tents, and manage exhaustion. Fire and shelter are your lifeline.
- 🧠 Sanity System – Explore too long alone, enter corrupted biomes, or witness horrors… and your mind will unravel.
- 🥞 Food, Homes & Ritualized Daily Life (via Farmer's Delight & Addons)
Comfort is not just luxury—it’s survival. Gain more health if you diversify your diet. Food is as important as armor in this world. Brew sanity-restoring teas. Cook magical stews for buffs. Build rustic, enchanted kitchens to survive the cold.
- 💀 Hardcore Death - 3 Lives Only - If you die three times, it is over... unless someone dares perform a forbidden resurrection ritual (using Micles Totems) to bring you back (from permanent spectator mode). You regain lost lives by playing the game, as they regenerate over a long period of time.
- ⛺ Tents & Bedrolls – Carry shelter with you. Set up camp during expeditions, warm yourself near a fire, and sleep off your trauma.
- ✨ Craftable Totems of Revival
- 🪄 Friend-based resurrection: Rare revival totems allow allies to bring you back even after you're gone.
- 🧙🏾 Arcane Mastery: Magic your way...
- Ars Nouveau: fully customizable spells, magical armor, and arcane machinery
- Occultiism: Summon demons, familiars, and lovecrafttian gods
- Spirit: spirit light, souls, and rituals tied into the Occultism/spiritual magic ecosystem
- Enchanted: herbs, poppets, circle magic, and a witch's broomstick - traditional witchcraft
- 🧪 Expanded Potions with Mystic Potions, Dave's Potioneering, & more
- 🧛🏽♀️ Vampirism/Lycanthropy offer an "nontraditional" way to survive and sustain yourself.
-🐉🐎 Mythic Mounts - Befriend mythical creatures and beasts. Domestication Innovation provides more means to protect your pets.
- 🏛️ Minecraft Comes Alive, Towns, Dungeons, and Structures – From eldritch temples to post-collapse cities and skyscrapers to hidden dungeons, embrace an RPG-like experience with NPC Villagers.
🤝 Seamless Multiplayer: Hexcraft supports drop-in multiplayer with zero server setup.
- 🧑🤝🧑 Built-in Essential mod: Host and invite friends directly.
- 🎮 Full controller support via Controllable.
- 👕 Use Cosmetic Armor to stand out in your coven.
❕👥 To create a multiplayer world, load your world and Invite your friends from the menu (Essential mod). You must load into a world first.
🌀 Multiple Dimensions:
-
🌍 The Overworld: A fractured world where magic has reclaimed the ruins of a forgotten age—haunting, wild, and barely holding together.
-
🪐 (Space): The stars offer no escape—just new ruins to haunt, new bones to find, and ancient signals echoing across dead moons.
-
🔥 The Nether: Once hell, now a broken engine of ancient industry and infernal biology—alive with ash, fire, and secrets man was never meant to dig up.
-
☁️ The Aether: A false heaven of floating temples and twisted serenity—beautiful, but wrong, like something dreaming of purity after the fall.
- 🌑 The End: Not an ending, but a void-shaped beginning; the path to the End is no longer a sprint—it’s a pilgrimage. End Remastered transforms the End Portal into a legendary relic, locked by 12 unique Eyes of Ender, each found in distinct biomes, dungeons, and dimensions. From haunted towers to deep ruins, forgotten vaults to cursed forests—you'll chase clues, conquer bosses, and decode the world itself. Even after killing the Ender Dragon, continue to explore the world in the void. The End is now its own dimension, complete with biomes and creatures.
-
🌀 The Deep Dark: A buried kingdom of sculk and silence, where the earth itself listens—slay the Warden and use his blackened, beating heart on a the Ancient City portal frame.
-
🕳️ The Deep Void: A forgotten grave beneath the world, where light dies and silence watches—this is where the gods buried their mistakes. Access this hellhole by jumping into the void, going beneath the bedrock, or being captured by a mysterious being.
⚠️ Performance Note: This is a highly dense modpack, containing hundreds of mods. It is recommended to allocate at least 6-8 or more GB of RAM, for smooth performance. Smooth Boot, ModernFix, FerriteCore, LazyDFU, Entity Culling (lag reduction for survival-scale builds) + more
HexCraft comes with carefully pre-configured options, resource packs, and visuals. Fonts, fog, UI scale, and ambiance are all set to match the intended feel—gritty, grounded, and immersive. Tweak if you want—but know it’s all already set with intention.
