Review RLCraft

RLCraft

RLCcraft is the largest modpack that aims to make survival mode more difficult. Feel that you can survive and properly develop very quickly and easily in the vanilla world? Then be sure to download this modpack to complicate the process. The modpack contains as many as 169 different mods that add new functions, some features, new resources, mobs, and much more to the game world. Besides the fact that it is the largest modpack in its category, it is also proven and popular, as there are more than nine million downloads of it from the official web page. Let us consider the main innovations that will appear in the game world after installing the RLCcraft modpack.

Main Menu

The first change to notice after launching the game is, of course, related to the main menu. Everything has changed in it: the game title, buttons, and background image. The latter will now change every few seconds. All the images are taken from the game world with this modpack enabled. Instead of the game title, you will see the name of the modpack — RLCraft. Let us now turn to the game world and learn about all the new mechanics and some features in more detail.

The background image when loading the game world has also changed. While earlier it consisted of the texture of dirt, now it is a high-quality image depicting an actual in-game landscape. Besides, you should take into account that the modpack was created for the 1.12.2 game version.

Injury Mechanics

You will now suffer damage in a completely different way. All will depend on the injured body part. Thus, if an arrow hits your head, you will immediately die in most cases. So if you do not have a helmet, there is a high probability that you will die after a single shot of a skeleton, provided, of course, it hits you accurately. However, if it hits another part of your body, you will be injured, and some of your body parts may cease to function, not allowing you to properly interact with the game world. Thus, if your foot hurts, you will walk much slower. Below is the information about the health points of each part of the body, the most vulnerable zones of which are the head and trunk.

When you fall or take damage, you will see that the character's scheme in the lower left corner will change depending on the injured body part. So be careful and do not take damage from falling. If the scheme is completely green, this is good, as this means that you are fully healthy. But if a particular body part becomes light green, this means that it is injured. Accordingly, if it turns red, this means that you have broken some part of the body. So you will now not only have to be careful so that some mob does not hit you but also try not to fall from a height.

You will subsequently be able to heal the damaged parts of the body, and there are several ways to do this. One of them is sleep, which restores 50% of health. The second way to restore health is to craft a plaster or bandage. Of course, you will not be able to do that right away, as you will need a string, which can only be obtained by killing a spider. So, to begin with, it is worth getting weapons, tools, and armor as soon as possible, as when night comes, the game world will become even more dangerous. If you are lucky enough, you may meet a magical creature called the nymph. This mob is friendly, and if you get close to it, you will get the Regeneration effect, and all damaged parts of your body will begin to recover.

Using Plaster and Bandage

If you have already got these items and need to be urgently healed, you can do that in a very simple way. Open the player interface where your health indicators are shown by pressing the H key. Hover over a body part that you have damaged or even broken and hold this button. After two seconds, the plaster will disappear from your inventory, and you will regain your health.

Thirst Mechanics

Over time, you will not only start to starve but also need to drink. Indeed, a thirst bar has appeared on the main screen, which will gradually decrease. The easiest way to quench your thirst is to craft a canteen. It is in it that you can fill water for drinking. This item is created from six leather. But you should keep in mind that unfiltered water is dangerous for your health, even though you can drink it in the first stages. You will subsequently be able to craft the charcoal filter, which, when combined with the canteen, will automatically purify the water. But if you drink dirty water, the Thirst effect will be superimposed on you, and you will want to drink even more, not to mention the much faster starving.

Game Environment

Besides drinking and injuries, the game world is now fraught with many other difficulties. For example, you will now not be able to break a log, a stone, or any other block with your hand. So it will not be possible for you to craft stone tools right away. Accordingly, you will have to look for other items with which you can create less effective tools. But that is not all — there are a lot of dangerous creatures in the world that can spawn not only at night but also during the day. So be careful and examine every inch of the environment.

However, the world is full of minerals and food, which cannot but please players. Besides, a huge number of structures to explore generate there. One of them is a ruined house without a roof and with mostly destroyed walls. You will also be able to find towers, fortresses, and much more. Be careful when exploring any structures, as they can be inhabited by sinister creatures. To begin with, it is better to provide yourself with basic tools, accumulate a food supply, and build a shelter.

Sounds and Other Features

The Minecraft world will now be more lively. In the forests and other territories, you can enjoy the singing of birds, which lifts your spirits. Besides, you will also hear realistic sounds of your character, namely when it runs, jumps, and performs many other actions. All the sounds are realistic, and it is a sheer pleasure to hear them. At night, you can even hear the howling of wolves. As for the other features, the resources are now not picked up immediately, and you need to click on an item or block with the RMB to do that. Otherwise, they will just lie on the ground until you pick them up.
