Mine craft is a game to end all games. Some times I actually feel like it was made for me, because before I discovered mine craft, I had always wished other games had more of mine craft's completely non linear, sandbox style game play. Despite all of the great qualities of mine craft, it could be a lot better
I understand that mine craft has traditional been about building, and I do enjoy building, don't get me wrong, but for me the best part of the game has always been the survival. But the survival in mine craft isn't like real life survival at all. It's kind of weird, and not realistic. Punching down trees, walking up to cows and beating them to death, building houses out of dirt, and doing extensive mining with wooden pick axes, though fun, doesn't feel very survival-y to me.
So I thought it would be cool if there was a mod that would mine craft survival more like the classic survival that some of us (me at least) day dream about: carving wooden spears with a knife, fashioning a bow out of your shoe laces, building snares for squirrels, gaffing for fish, and desperately trying to light a fire to keep the cold and wolves at bay. Like survival out of the Gary Paulsen novel Hatchet. If you guys haven't read Hatchet, its a novel about a boy, whom after a plane crash has to survive in the northern woods with only the cloths on his back and a hatchet.
I understand that there are mods that do this to an extent, but none of them are quite right. They seem to be over complicated (like terra firma craft) or not have cool survival things (like the survivalist mod). I don't have enough knowledge in java coding, to make a mod, but I just wanted to bounce a round some ideas and see what people were thinking
Yeah, hatchet isn't my favorite book either. But it gets the point across about the type of survival I'm talking about. And TFC is extremely complicated! It looked kind of cool to began with, but then I started to read the wiki and... I'm sure it's great for some people, but it's just to far removed from vanilla to began with. It has tons of different interfaces for working with different materials, it has really complicated geology, with tons rocks, wich determine the strength of stone tools and yield different ores, and making different metals is SO complicated, because you have to do so many different things to get the different alloys. It made my head hurt. That's a little too complicated for my tastes. I just thought it would be cool if their was less derpy survival.
Easier said than done. Camping is fun enough, but surviving with just your bare hands, in real life, is pretty much impossible. I like walking in the woods, not pooing in them.

yea neither do i like surviving in real life either but thats what makes mine craft so unique and i also love mine craft PVP and raiding its what makes the game so fun and when you apply resource packs sometimes it can change the whole idea of the game but anyway mine craft allows you to do something that i see most games don't even have its called choices and man is it fun OR WHAT i absolutely love making special choices because what you can do in minecraft i really don't have to explain it but ok i will its that you can shape mine craft into almost every game you want it to be whether its just survival of the fittest or brawling against other players on a multiplayer server it just makes the game unique and gives it a special twist i love minecraft for what it is right now and hopefully it will never change from fun to depression i wish minecraft and the mojang team the best of luck to create the most awesome game ever
Why don't you just turn off natural regen? You don't even have to play hardcore and it still increases difficulty significantly. Atleast, until you have an infinite supply of potions/apples.
I just play on mcmmo servers, mainly one called Digital Forge(IP: dfmc.co). Mcmmo stands for Minecraft-MMO, and basically adds stat gathering to the game. http://mcmmo.wikia.com/wiki/McMMO_Wiki

It sounds exactly like what you want.
