Hardcore Horizons
Hardcore Horizons adds new biomes, structures, bosses, tools and dimensions to survival worlds, and is server-side only.
What it does
The mod generates new biomes that range from lush enchanted forests and crystal mountains to eerie wastelands and coral reefs, each with its own plants and animals. Ancient ruins, villages and dungeons are placed through the world, and every structure holds resources or challenges to find.
Players reach additional dimensions through newly introduced portals, where environments and bosses are meant to test survival skills. Crafting adds new tools and weapons tailored to specific biomes, such as a frost axe that freezes enemies and a vine whip for grappling. Dynamic mobs include friendly NPCs and hostile monsters with their own behaviors.
Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge; the Forge file is 0.1.0 for 1.20.1 and the NeoForge file is 1.0.0 for 26.1.2. The mod is covered by All rights reserved and is not open source.
