You wanna know why this mod pack exists? It's because I thought Minecraft was way too easy. Unfortunately, most expert mod packs out there feel too bloated with mods just to overcomplicate the game. So I set out to make the most undercomplicated, lite expert mod pack to date! This is the result of it.

General information about the changes to the game
 - All mobs are now much harder to kill and are much smarter.
 - All crafting recipes are more difficult to craft.
 - All blocks are mined 2x slower than before, putting more emphasis on the efficiency enchantment.
 - Added custom music to get you in the expert mode feeling.
 - Added better sounds to get more immersed.
 - You always spawn on an island surrounded by lava.
 - You can no longer destroy tree logs with your bare hands.
 - It is always night time, meaning mobs are always spawning.
 - General world generation changed.
 - General optimization (add optifine to this mod pack though for max optimization).

Your objective: eliminate the ender dragon and the wither boss.

General total play time (per map): 2-50 hours (min-max)

Music was provided by "Return to Castle Wolfenstein."

Q&A

Q: Why is my game lagging a ton?

A: Well Minecraft isn't generally optimized, which is why I suggest that you get OptiFine. Legally, I cannot include OptiFine in this mod pack, so go get that and optimize it to perfection!



Q: Why can't I chop down any trees down with my hands?

A: You need a crude hatchet to chop down trees. To craft a crude hatchet, you need 2 flint, 1 stick and 1 string. You can get flint via gravel which is common underground, sticks from saplings and string from killing spiders.



Q: I found a major game breaking glitch and/or bug!

A: Comment the problem and maybe I can fix it.



Q: My game crashes due to running out of ram?

A: Get a better computer, or allocate more ram.



Q: I keep dying all the time because the mobs are too powerful!

A: Be more careful and play it extremely safe (going under 5 hearts will pretty much guarentee your death even more).



Q: What if my question isn't here?

A: Ask in the comments, I will reply back as soon as I can if I'm not too busy.

Current Bugs
-----------------

Can be fixed

-----------------

Going to the nether makes your experience bar glitch out (getting more exp fixes it).

-------------------

Can't be fixed

-------------------

Skeletons shoot the wall when trying to wall hack (results in a ton of arrows in the wall).
Sometimes when you generate a world, you will not spawn on an island. Just retry if you don't want it to be super easy.

Overworld% - Get to the overworld as fast as possible. You must play on Hardcore mode with a random seed. Time starts on the frame that you move and the time stops once you stand on or above a overworld block or liquid. (My personal best: 18:08.63346)
