Updated daily
Drop & Grow
Automatically plants dropped saplings. A great quality-of-life feature for clean inventories and farm automation that fits perfectly into vanilla survival
STEVE MUST DIE difficulty
Focuses on a much harder Vanilla Survival experience. Not only by making mobs stronger or more resistant, but adding new mechanics and unique twists. Also letting you progress slightly faster (if you're skilled enough)
Nomadic Realms
Nomadic Realms offers a primitive survival experience. Logs are tough, so use flint; but wood tools are extra weak. Chests, furnaces, and loot must be found with exploration. Death randomizes respawn, but the new Ender Chest is now vital for all valuables.
Damage=Random Item Skyblock Challenge
This custom world spawns you on a small platform over the void. The only way to get items is by damaging each other. (Multiplayer, inspired by BastiGHG)
Blocked In Hardcore
A challenging version of the Blocked In datapack
Advanced Crafting
This datapack allows players to craft items in Survival mode that are normally only available in Creative mode or cannot normally be obtained. Instead of needing to ask a server owner or administrator to give you these items
One Life [NanoVirus]
You have only one life (Like in hardcore) but also after your death a corpse is spawn (Last thing that they will have after you)
SkyBlock But Better!
Vanilla Friendly Challenge!
Survival Nerf
Minimalistic vanilla-flavored design and balance overhaul. Mostly reverting bad decisions the devs have made. Intended for use with Etomb's Better Survival modpack.
HardSurvivalStrategie
Minecraft Datapack with realistic crafting and behaviour.
Endless Villages
Every chunk is filled with villages, creating a unique survival experience focused on exploration and village-based gameplay so turn your Minecraft world into a place where only villages generate.
Vanilla With Sugar
A close-to-vanilla datapack that slows Minecraft's early game pacing and makes survival a bigger focus
Better Hardcore Datapack
Completely overhauls Hardcore mode to be true danger.
Survival+
Survival+ is a datapack that adds difficulty and suprise to Minecraft again. By adding tougher enemies and cool unique items. Along with a bunch of new mechanics and reworks of some old ones, causing you to relearn Minecraft in a whole new way!

minionSkyBlock
Adds a SkyBlock island start and craftable Minions that mine, farm and gather resources for you.
Minecraft H10 - Hardcore 10x
