RLCraft

Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.

Project overview

CURSEFORGE LAUNCHER: The TWITCH LAUNCHER has been replaced with curseforge's own launcher which you can download here: https://curseforge.overwolf.com/ OPTIFINE: RLCraft v2.9 now needs the latest Optifine or G5 found here: https://optifine.net/adloadx?f=OptiFine_1.12.2_HD_U_G5.jar Do NOT use E3 Optifine anymore as this will crash. FORGE: Please use AT LEAST Forge version 2860 to fix a serious exploit concerning Java and Log4j. RLCraft v2.9 comes with and requires Forge 2860. SERVERS: Server owners be aware that enable-command-block=true must be set in your server.properties file or certain structures will not generate correctly and be missing villagers! (just read included readme for servers) STOP USING VANILLAFIX AND BETTERFPS WITH RLCRAFT, THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE OFFICIAL RLCRAFT WIKI BEING CREATED HERE: https://rlcraft.wiki.gg/ MERCH!! New RLCraft merch has been made, check it out here! https://www.geeksunleash.com/collections/shivaxi This started out as a simple little thing I was putting together for my own server and friends, and since then it's turned into something pretty ridiculous. I've gotten some requests about releasing it as a modpack so here it is. RLCraft, the RL standing for Real Life or Realism and is a take on another mod I made for Unreal called RLCoop that generally has a similar goal, is my interpretation of what I've always wanted in Minecraft when it comes to pure survival, adventuring and RPG, and immersion. I hand selected many mods and individually tweaked each and every one to fit the exact play-style I was looking for, making sure they all worked fluidly with each other, adding my own custom scripts for various changes to vanilla behavior, etc. Bottom line is, this ain't your dad's Minecraft, and you're going to die ...a lot . Just be prepared for that. This tends to happen whenever I make mods for any game for some reason...it usually ends up being unfairly difficult. PUBLIC SERVER INFO!

If you're looking for my specific shader/texture pack combo, check pinned messages on my discord in the minecraft channel 1.12 UPDATE QUICK START GUIDE! YOU'LL BE LOST IF YOU DON'T READ THIS! QUICK START GUIDE -Right click to pickup an item you're looking at or crouch to pickup items in a radius around you -Can't punch trees, blocks require their tools for harvest (except weak blocks like dirt, gravel, etc), otherwise won't drop anything -Make flint tools first, get flint from gravel, get sticks from breaking tree leaves, hold flint and right click on a hard surface (stone) to smash flint into flint shards, punch tree leaves for sticks, stick + flint shard on top = flint knife, use flint knife to cut grass, gives grass fiber, 3 grass fiber = grass string -Make flint hatchet (axe) with stick, grass string, and flint shard. In your inventory you can look up any recipe, bottom right search bar, type flint and left click on flint hatchet to see recipe -Use hatchet to chop tree, get wood, place wood on ground, right click with axe to chop into planks, get also place planks on ground and chop with axe for sticks There are rocks all over the ground, right click to pickup, craft 4 together 2x2 to turn into cobblestone, stick + cobblestone makes a dagger, good starting weapon -Drink water with empty hand, crouch, right click on water source block, can also drink from rain if it's raining -Lookup healing items, some are easy to craft, some are hard, string and paper is easiest -Birch wood can be crafted into paper -3 wool makes a sleeping bag, won't set spawn -Waystones set your spawn point, if you hate your spawn, don't activate a waystone -If it looks like it will kill you, it probably will -Press H, locational hit damage now, helmets are important or you WILL get headshot -When you reach level 5, PRESS L (now tab in inventory screen) and choose your specialization to start earning extra XP. You have 2 skill menus, L skill menu for special skills in various categories, and the skill requirements tab in your inventory. For example, you need 8 attack to use an iron sword. Items list their requirements. -Several ways to combat the hot/cold, there's campfires, wool clothing, potions, ice armor, etc -Lots of new and custom generation, exploring and finding shelter first is a good idea, shelter may even provide starting items -String and even grass string can be turned into wool! -Highly recommend Optifine for 1.12.2 found here: https://optifine.net/adloadx?f=OptiFine_1.12.2_HD_U_G5.jar This will allow you to hold light sources in your hand and have them emit light MORE MEDIA: Automatic Install (recommended): CURSEFORGE LAUNCHER: The Twitch Launcher has been replaced with curseforge's own launcher which you can download here: https://curseforge.overwolf.com/ This is the easiest way to install RLCraft.

Anyone moving from the Twitch launcher to the CurseForge launcher will still automatically keep all profiles and modpacks. Manual Install (advanced users only): FORGE: The LATEST VERSION of F

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This modpack is most relevant to players looking for Hardcore, Adventure and RPG, Magic, Combat / PvP on undefined, Forge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The latest stored update signal is Apr 2, 2025. Older projects can still work well, but they deserve extra compatibility testing before being added to a current world or public server.

What to verify before choosing a file

• Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
• Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
• Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
• Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
• Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
