6 Hardest Minecraft Modpacks Challenge Your Survival

Half of the reasons Minecraft is so popular is because of its modding community. Players have pretty much free reins to add new content to the game, from mobs, items, blocks, or even game mechanics.

Some of the mods aim to fix Minecraft's generally low difficulty, making the game a true survival experience where players need to fight tooth and nail. In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase the 5 hardest Minecraft modpacks that change your Survival experience completely.

5. Last Days of Humanity

Last Days of Humanity is a post-apocalyptic modpack that turns Minecraft into a world of zombies. Players need to survive 100 days in hell.

It is pretty much a zombie survival sim, with the players being able to learn to make guns, turrets, vehicles, complex machinery and robot soldiers. Recruit survivors to your survival base, and obtain ores that are only available in the wasteland deserts in order to overcome the parasite raid on the 100th midnight.

The zombies in this modpack are very well designed. They are progressively faster and have the ability to pillar, destroy blocks, call for allies and infect survivors. All out invasions happen every 10 days and parasitic organisms spawn on the 50th day, gradually increasing as days go on. There are also mutated creatures that reside in specific biomes and enemy survivors that will gun you down on sight.

6. Rebirth of the Night

Inspired by Terraria, 7 Days to Die, and more, Rebirth of the Night is a Minecraft 1.12.2 modpack with its own progression system, lore, mechanics, and art. It's built with the idea of remembering the central themes of what made Minecraft enjoyable and expanding them in every way, increasing the overall risk and reward as you progress.

The design philosophy of this modpack is to create an experience where adventure, conquest, progression and survival are all intertwined. This pack is built upon the goal of keeping Minecraft close to the original concept of survival, while also completely re-imagining other gameplay mechanics. A recurring theme in this pack is that your actions have consequences: you are playing in a living, breathing world that will react to your actions. Mobs will mine and build to get to you, combat is greatly expanded upon, danger and dread are amplified, seasons change, and every world-changing event you cause has repercussions... Your skills in all aspects of gameplay will be tested, but in a way that supports many different play styles.
