KaizoMC

by nxtroox

KaizoMC makes vanilla Minecraft far harder through a set of game rules, custom advancements and tweaked crafting, while keeping the original feel of the game.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.10 – 26.3

What it does

Installed on Fabric, KaizoMC changes the balance of survival play: mobs have double health, creepers explode instantly, players cannot sleep, mobs do not burn during daytime, and Eye of Ender crafting is harder, with the eyes breaking when thrown. Crafting recipes are limited and some special items use harder recipes, so the difficulty spreads across the whole progression.

The mod also adds custom advancements that follow the new rules, and a number of harsher rules are switched on by default. Text is available in English and German. Installation needs Fabric Loader and the latest Fabric API, which is required. KaizoMC runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds target 1.21.10 – 26.3 with 2.0.0 for 26.3 as the latest file, released under the MIT License and open source.

Key features

  1. Doubled mob health

    Mobs take twice the damage they would in vanilla before they fall, making every fight longer.

  2. Instant creeper explosions

    Creepers detonate immediately instead of after a fuse, which removes the usual warning.

  3. Harder sleeping and night

    Players cannot sleep to skip the night, and mobs stay unburned during daylight hours.

  4. Custom advancements

    Advancements are rewritten for the harder rules and can be added without following the Minecraft account system.

Use cases

Hardcore-style survival

Players who want a tougher run than vanilla can use the rule set on a single-player world or a server.

Who it’s for: Players who already know vanilla survival and want a stricter progression. Server owners who run a shared world with altered balance can install it on the server together with the matching client files.
