HARD NEW — Technological Evolution and Hardcore Survival

Welcome to HARD NEW — a monumental project for Minecraft 1.21.1 on the NeoForge platform. This build is designed for those who find standard survival games a child's play, and have long since mastered traditional technological mods.

HARD NEW completely rewrites the rules of the game, transforming a block-mining simulator into a deep, hardcore experience, integrating advanced engineering, realistic physics, harsh climates, and a vibrant, responsive society.

Key Focuses and Features of the Build

Industrial Engineering and Full-Fledged Aviation

Technological progress in HARD NEW isn't just about crafting advanced workbenches. It's about creating massive kinetic systems and logistics chains based on the Create ecosystem.

• Create Aeronautics: Forget about standard limitations. Build fully-fledged airships, flying fortresses, and cargo ships from any blocks. This mod brings true flight physics, mass, and inertia to the game.
• Industrial Add-ons: The Factory Must Grow (tfmg) module adds large-scale production, smelting furnaces, and heavy chemical processing. Establish crude oil production and refining with Diesel Generators, and generate megawatts of power with New Age.

Space Program

The Earthly world is only the first stage of your development. This pack includes the Creating Space mod, which unlocks the full-fledged space race. Design and build multistage rockets, calculate resources, enter orbit, and explore other planets for unique materials unobtainable on Earth.

Living Civilization and City Building

Villages in HARD NEW are no longer a collection of faceless NPCs.

• Intelligence and Sociality: Thanks to the combination of Minecraft Comes Alive (MCA) and TownTalk, each villager becomes a fully-fledged individual with their own character, history, and relationship system. You can communicate with them, hire them as guards, or even accompany them on long expeditions. Advanced guards from Guard Villagers ensure settlement protection.
• MineColonies: If standard villages aren't enough for you, lead your own colony. Build cities, assign workers (miners, builders, farmers), manage resources, and defend your holdings from raids.

Uncompromising Survival and Anatomy

The world around you has become truly hostile. The environment will punish any carelessness. * Thermoregulation and thirst: The Cold Sweat and Thirst Was Taken mods will force you to adapt to the weather. Build insulated shelters, sew warm clothing, protect yourself from heatstroke, and maintain sources of clean drinking water.

• Zone Medicine: Forget the classic health bar. The First Aid system divides the character's body into zones (head, torso, limbs). Each part has its own health pool. A broken leg will slow you down, and a serious head injury will be fatal. Coordination in combat becomes vital.
• Devastating Elements: Dynamic weather from Weather2 brings storms, gusty winds, and devastating tornadoes that can destroy your structures. The changing seasons are controlled by Serene Seasons.

Endless Horizons and Next-Gen Graphics

• Distant Horizons: Revolutionary technology that allows the world to be rendered hundreds of chunks ahead using simplified LOD models. You'll be able to see distant mountain ranges and space launch pads without a critical performance drop.
• Optimization: This colossal amount of simulation runs on a modern graphics stack (Sodium, Iris, ImmediatelyFast, Lithium, FerriteCore), guaranteeing a stable frame rate while using complex, realistic shaders.
• Co-op: For perfect interaction with friends, the pack features positional voice chat (Simple Voice Chat), which broadcasts sound taking into account distance and obstacles.

Important technical information and system requirements

This build performs a huge amount of parallel calculations: from calculating the physics of flying ships to simulating the lives of hundreds of NPCs and rendering temperature maps. Please read the requirements before running.

Recommended specifications:

• Dedicated memory (RAM) in the launcher: Strictly at least 12–16 GB.
• Total system RAM: Preferably 32 GB or more.
• Strong recommendation: It is strongly recommended to run the server on a dedicated server. Playing in local host mode (mixed client-server) on a single PC may cause micro-freezes during chunk generation and automatic factories. Separating the calculations between the server and client will ensure the smoothest possible gameplay.
