Challenge Craft

Challenge Craft — turn every world into a challenge run

Challenge Craft turns normal survival into replayable challenge runs. Pick from 50 challenges — run one, or stack a brutal combination — and every world you finish earns permanent Lifetime XP that unlocks more challenges and perks. Play the runs you know from YouTubers or invent your own.

New: 🎰 The House Always Wins — a full casino challenge · 🚦 Red Light, Green Light · 🪑 Cushion Only · 🧭 All Biomes · 🔗 Challenge Codes & Presets · 🤖 Bob, an AI rival for Lockout (Early Development Stage)

The modpack is this mod plus shaders, proximity voice chat, a full ambient soundscape, quality-of-life mods and a custom menu — already configured.

Have an idea? Suggest a challenge on Discord and I will build it.

1. Pick your challenges when creating a world — a single one, or several stacked. Every combination gets a difficulty rating.
2. Beat the run. Defeat the Ender Dragon to complete the world.
3. Earn Lifetime XP. The payout scales with your difficulty rating — and it is permanent, carrying across every world and server.
4. Level up (1–20). Each level unlocks new challenges and permanent perks.
5. Go infinite. Past Level 20, every 1,000 XP earns an Infinity Star: colored name auras, and one final secret at 20 stars.

Fair play: changing challenges mid-run sets the XP payout to 0, and dying in the Hardcore challenge fails the run.

• 50 challenges — modifiers, randomizers and full game modes like Lockout Bingo, Force Item Battle, The House Always Wins, All Biomes, Trivia, Skyblock, Chunk Hunt or roll a die to walk
• Stack challenges for a higher difficulty rating and bigger XP payouts
• Daily Challenge — one ruleset and one seed per day, the same for everyone. Come back tomorrow and beat your best time.
• Challenge Codes & Presets — save your favorite setups and share any run as a short code, seed included. Your friends paste it and play the exact same world.
• Run summary card — finish a run and get a card with your time, difficulty and XP, ready to save or paste straight into a post
• Hub — your level, the next unlock, recent runs and today’s daily at a glance
• Permanent progression — Lifetime XP, levels, perks and name auras persist across worlds
• Built for co-op — every challenge works in multiplayer, and progression syncs to each player
• Fresh worlds in one click — restart into a new challenge world from inside the game with /challenges; the old world is archived automatically
• Clean challenge UI — goal trackers, timers and reward popups; drag the timer and the challenge cards wherever you want them
• Lockout vs. Bob — play Lockout Bingo against an AI opponent (Early Development Stage)

A complete casino inside your survival world. (Challenge 50 — unlocks at Level 8)

Every item you own is worth Jetons. Cash in at the Croupier’s booth at spawn — and keep the bank full, because every 10 minutes the House collects a fee from the whole team. It starts at pocket change and climbs to eight diamonds every ten minutes. Can’t pay? The House wins and the run is over.

Farm to pay the House — or gamble to get ahead. Buy the machines from the Croupier and build them anywhere:

• 🎰 Mine Fever — a 5-reel slot machine with free spins, an expanding lucky item and a 5,000× top prize. Bet a whole stack of items and win it back as a fountain of that item.
• 🔴 Plinko — drop the ball and pray for the 30× edges
• 🚀 Crash — the rocket climbs, the multiplier grows. Cash out before it explodes.
• 🎡 Roulette — a full European table; place your chips straight on the felt

The rules of the House

• The House always wins — every game pays back 96 % on average. Gambling is the fast way up — and the slow way down.
• Lost bets bite back — the House sends monsters after you. The bigger the loss, the nastier the wave.
• Death costs 25 % of your Jetons — then the Croupier deals you a hand of Blackjack. Win and you stand up where you fell, with your whole inventory. Lose and you die for real.
• No menus at the tables — every game is played right on the machine, with win shows, fanfares and fireworks for the big hits.
• Co-op ready — the fee is split across the team, and Roulette and Crash rounds are shared.

Jetons are play money that only exists in your world — no real money, no purchases.

All 50 challenges, in the order they unlock. 🆕 marks the newest ones.

Level 1

Lockout Bingo
Teams race on a shared 5×5 board — every goal can only be claimed once. The winning team earns 100 Lifetime XP. No one to race? Play against Bob, the AI rival (Early Development Stage).

Force Item Battle
Every player races to collect their own random target item — a floating icon above your head reveals what’s next. Most items when the timer runs out wins 100 Lifetime XP, solo or in teams.

Level = Item
The Challenge Stick converts your current XP levels into that many copies of a random item.

Random Item every 30s

A random item for every 500 blocks walked.

A random item for every heart of damage taken.

Level 2

No Armor
Armor slots are blocked.

Chunk Hunt
Entering a new chunk locks the world border around it, transforms its blocks, and spawns a glowing target mob you must defeat to escape.

No Jumping
You physically cannot jump while this challenge is active.

Red Light, Green Light 🆕
A traffic light rules the world. On red, nothing may move — no step, no knockback, no minecart, not even the camera — or you die. Yellow warns you three seconds ahead; how long green lasts, nobody knows.

Level 8

Multiply the health of every mob.

Walk = Damage
One heart of damage for every block walked.

Heavy Pockets
The fuller your inventory, the slower you move — a full one means Slowness VI.

Farm to pay the House, or gamble on slots, plinko, crash and roulette to get ahead. Lost bets summon monsters, every death costs 25 % of your Jetons, and a hand of blackjack decides whether you come back.

Level 9

Damage = Border
Taking damage expands the world border.

Corrosive Tools
Every tool use has a 5% chance to downgrade it a tier (Iron → Stone).

Level 10

Level = Border
The world border matches your XP level.

Meet Bob — your Lockout rival (Early Development Stage)

No one online to race? Open the Lockout Bingo lobby and click Play against Bob. Bob is an AI player who plays the board the way you do: he reads the goals, plans a route, gathers, mines, crafts, smelts, fights, builds a Nether portal and claims tiles — on Easy, Normal or Hard.

Bob is in an early development stage. He learns new skills with every update, but he still makes mistakes — and sometimes dies in very creative ways. Clips and feedback are welcome on Discord.

Server Requirements

Minecraft	Java	Loader	Dependency
26.3	25	Fabric	Fabric API

Looking for 26.2 or 1.21.5? The older builds stay in the Files tab, but they don’t have the newest challenges.

How to install

1. Create a new server with BisectHosting.
2. Select Minecraft 26.3 and Fabric as the server type.
3. Start the server once so all files generate, then stop it.
4. Upload Challenge Craft and Fabric API into the mods folder.
5. Start the server.
6. Install the same two mods on your client.

⚠️ The mod must be installed on both client and server, and both must run the same Minecraft version.

Coming soon — challenge selection, the progression journey, HUDs, the casino and gameplay.

If vanilla survival feels predictable, Challenge Craft gives you a reason to start over — again and again. Every run is a different world with a different ruleset, and the progress you earn is yours to keep.

Or take the whole thing

The Challenge Craft Modpack is this mod with everything already set up around it: Iris with three shader presets, Simple Voice Chat for proximity audio, AmbientSounds and Sound Physics Remastered for a world that actually sounds like one, the usual quality-of-life mods, performance mods to survive Double Trouble at 10×, and a custom pixel-art menu made for it. One click, no modlist.
