RLCraft Hardcore Guide

## Overview

This is a guide for the RLCraft Hardcore mode. It is one of the hardest modpacks in hardcore mode. This is going to be hard and will probably take many tries.

The guide will take you from day one to farther on. Not for the weak of mind!

## Day 1

On your first day you want to do normal RLCraft day 1 things. Depending on where you spawn you will need to do different things.

### Forest Spawn

If you spawn in a forest that's great. Find some gravel nearby, punch some leaves then make a flint knife. With it you can get some plant fibers which you can craft into plant string. Get 3 Fibers then craft that into a string. Then you can make a flint hatchet; with the hatchet you can cut down a tree make planks by right clicking on oak logs and make a crafting table. Now that you have a crafting table look for stones get 12. With the stone you can make 3 cobble and then a stone pic. With your stone pickaxe you should start looking for a village or house with wool or beds or find some sheep and get a bed that way. Now that you have a bed you need to make or find shelter. Making shelter is hard and takes a long time so I would suggest the first option but that your choice. If it becomes dark sleep right away otherwise mine some stone and make stone tools.

### Desert spawn

The desert is a great place where op stuff can spawn but find a forest and do the forest things for now. The downside of being here is the constant heat and thirst.

### Ocean spawn

Give up or try to get to a forest if you see one. If you stay to long you will be killed by a sea serpent or sirens or something else.

## Day 2

To day your goals are to do a few things. First make a wood shield (wooden tower shield) then make it into a stone version (stone tower shield). Next work on your base if you are making one. Next look for cows you can make leather armor (or not). Also look for chickens and maybe try to start a farm so you can get arrows. To use the arrow you should make a normal bow (3 plant string will work in the recipe). Many things can kill you so don't try to fight unless it is an easy win or you you cannot run away. Try to get experience from killing things like zombies or coal but when its night time SLEEP.

Tip 1: Use your shield you have it for a reason.

Tip 2: Skeletons are much more dangerous in this mod since they aim for the head and body most of the time, so use your shield as much as possible when fighting them.

## Day 3-9

Make sure you do this checklist of things to do.

Get a good weapon of stone or higher quality (halberd or spear are good because of range)

Get arrows for bow so you never have to use a sword. During this time you should upgrade your weapons, you shouldn't have to always rely on the same weapons.

Get many Bandages. You can get them in some naturally generated structures or you can make them on your own. If you are having a hard time trying to find out how to heal efficiently, please go to the page Restoring Health.

Make a food farm or other way of getting food (Chicken recommended for feathers, food and Roc taming.

Get a defense level so you can mine and use iron tools

Make your base more secure (things like making walls 2 thick so things don't hit you through them, adding a moat that stops mobs)

Get XP for leveling

Make a few arrows

Make a nice house that can be easily defended from most angry mobs. Remember, productivity and efficiency before looks.

If possible, try to catch a Nymph. It can passively heal you when you are near the Nymph, which is very helpful in most circumstances (such as healing heavy damage from a failed Battle Tower attempt).
