What it does

Superflat Survival gives a superflat world a survival path: a player gets resources by bonemealing dirt into saplings, pulling up carpet for string-like items, and cooking cobblestone in lava. The author describes it as a slower way to play Minecraft that replaces the usual structure-driven progression. Polymorph is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.3 as the latest Forge file, released 2023-10-01, under All rights reserved and not open source.

Key features

  1. Survival from a flat start

    Resources come from simple actions in a superflat world, not from generated structures.

  2. Crafting through everyday actions

    Bonemealing dirt, pulling up carpet and smelting with lava give the first materials a player needs.

  3. Slower pace of play

    Progression is built around gathering basics by hand instead of finding dungeons and villages.

Welcome to your new Superflat Survival Experience! Superflat Survival creates a whole new way to beat Minecraft Superflat. Instead of having structures, there are no structures.
