Gravesend

Minecraft on Veteran Mode

This mod is currently in beta development

Gravesend is a harsh and unforgiving brutal survival mod that changes gameplay and progression, 

In this mod the player has to grapple with harsh realities of trying to survive on Earth, many real world mechanics have been added to the game to culminate into the harshest survival of the fittest experience ever! The player now has to manage clean water, different climates, disease, punishing injuries, and realistically dangerous mobs and wildlife. Gravesend completely redesigns world generation, using realistic, Modern & Pre-Historic inspired environments, all of which can affect gameplay. Want a harsh and and unforgiving spawn? Load into a tundra and fight with crippling cold while trying desperately to get safe drinking water! Want a more “normal” experience? Spawn into an East Coast style Forest and dodge skeleton archers and avoid fatal zombie bites! Rather something in between? Try to eerie Appalachian woodlands! Where you’ll find realistical but unsettled wooded environments… But make sure you’re ready before the winter comes! Winter temperature drops carry a demanding toll! See a group of men in the distance? See a skeleton or a group of men in the distance? Pick your battles carefully! Combat comes at a cost! And don’t let a crocidile get a hold of you! You might just lose a limb!
