I Spent 100 Days On The Hardest RLCraft Config by Shivaxi

the aural craft hardcore config a config so daunting so unknown that even to this day only one in 150 auralcraft players have ever tried it the config was created by auralcraft's author shavaxi and is currently the newest version of rlcraft that anyone can play why have so few people played this config though well it is on the verge of impossible to beat for one and for two it wasn't well advertised in this config monsters and rl craft do increased damage and have increased hp every step you take away from zero zero every one thousand blocks from zero zero difficulty also increases by one for up to a max of 20. for every difficulty enemies do 25 more damage and have 50 percent more hp for reference a zombie with 20 hp will have 420 hp and deal 500 damage at difficulty 20. you also start with only two hearts on each body part and can't use modded weapons or shields at the stone or wooden level oh also you only get half xp from everything and battle towers are twice as rare oh and all bosses are rare ultimate or infernal and all other spartan weaponry melee damage weapons have been severely nerfed oh and you start in a random season and temperature changes are more severe than in normal or railcraft those are just a few of the 1380 changes that the hardcore config possesses as for the rules you of course need to play on hardcore difficulty and you need to choose the option larger biomes when creating your world the mod author of the hardest mainstream modpack on the planet went out of their way to make this config impossible to beat and i decided that i wouldn't stop until i beat it within 100 days after a few dozen attempts and a lot of pain i finally survived and this is my story of how what the day one i found myself spawning in the middle of a pleasant forest biome birch and oak trees all around but i had no time to waste i wanted to try to tame an epione mount on the full moon that was coming up knight one in our railcraft just like in vanilla minecraft is always a full moon and epiones are cool bat flying mounts that spawn on full moons i sadly could not find enough materials to tame an epione but i did find a crater base that i hunkered down in and looted i was sad to know that i would need to wait eight more days before another full moon but i was content with my start because crater bases give a lot of good stuff day two i took my cooked pork chop stone tools and other miss items from the crater base and made my way over to a nearby birch forest where i committed deforestation for two entire days i wanted birchwood because trading with villagers is one of the safest ways of getting xp on the hardcore config and i need a lot of it plus i had eight days to waste before i could try for my epione mount again oh i should get a rock you say no on the hardcore config avian treats can only be made with fish fillets or concopine meat anyways and you only get one avian treat per output five fish fillets and two bones will only get you one avian treat and you should focus on defense first before leveling up gathering in order to fish xp is hard to come by on the config so i didn't want to waste any i was willing to wait for night nine for my epione day four i go off in search of a village to trade my paper with that i obtained from chopping trees i fortunately find a village but there is a problem a dragon beat me to it i thought my run was over i was prepared for a reset as the dragon started burning my library to the ground as i looted it with a heavy heart i decided to take a big risk as i thought i was done for anyways i tossed my loot into a chest to make room in my inventory and i took the enchanted books from the other chests with me before they all burned all the meanwhile the library was being burned to the ground after a moment of silence i booked it to a nearby tree and slept making a daytime again fortunately the dragon did not follow me day 5 commences i make my way into the savannah biome and kill every cow in sight i survived against a dragon i was confident that a reaper spawning for me killing cows would not be enough to take me out with 52 raw beef on me i stumble across another village that i decide to make my home base only a short trot from the dragon infested village with the xp i got from butchering dozens of cows i managed to equip chain armor and make a shield i obtained a few ingots and diamonds from melting down the armor found within the village things started to look up day 6 i transitioned to getting ready to trade with the villagers to get some xp but i ended up not trading with the villagers just yet i first decided to get comfy in the village i set up a chest and claimed the house next to the waist shrine as my own kicking the previous owner out i then was faced with a dilemma though while trading with a librarian i remembered i left all my books back at the first dragon infested village since i was burning to death in the savannah biome and felt like the first six days didn't really yield much i was prepared for a full reset i gave myself an ultimatum though i decided that if i survived getting my stuff back from the dragon village that i would continue on this world and not reset my progress day 7 i revisited my old friend in the first village that magnificent beast kept circling the village not once landing for three entire days while i was gone he continued to circle overhead casting a shadow over the poor villagers who still remain struggling to draw breath beneath the smoke my battle however turned out to not even be with the dragon that day while looting the library i was approached by not one not two but four cinders that spawn amongst the chaos of the burning village i fled in fear beneath a once calm pond and healed up desperately in a dark crevice hoping that i would not be discovered by the elemental beasts that were hot on my trail or the dragon flying overhead i had my loot though and i just needed to get back safely i swam hesitantly to the surface and spotted the village's way stone in that moment the dragon took notice to me and flew right beside me but i managed to pour it away via the waste stone i'm sorry villagers but i'm afraid i can't save you all just yet it is your own fault for building a village on a dragon's nest though you really only have yourself to blame day eight i traded with a librarian villager and a fletcher for some xp the librarian sadly had terrible enchantments but the xp he gave me was still much appreciated i made some b streets and even some dragon treats with a few emeralds i worked so hard to acquire from trades i was ready for night nine and then i realized it was night eight so i had to wait a bit longer day nine the fabled day where things were about to get much more dangerous i was ready for my epione mount but a venture raptor nearly killed me and took away all my progress that was certainly terrifying the night though was upon me and i was excited i had died a half dozen times on night nine on my other attempts but this time felt different i had to fight death already three times this run i felt like my luck was incredibly high i felt unstoppable i had a full day to burn after the venture raptor attack first thing in the morning so i explored a bit nearby only to find another village it seems my luck really was decent this run i raided the library finding a glorious protection 3 and protection 4 book those would certainly come in handy for later i took a few bookshelves and soon realized it was already night time i ventured out and climbed a nearby tower scouting out my surroundings in the darkness and complete silence i could see cockatrices zombies and skeletons in the distance i was terrified but diligent i wanted an epione really badly i knew they were rare even on a full moon but i kept optimistic losing patience though i changed to the other village which was a bit risky and climbed a tower over there this time i shot a cockatrice in the distance out of boredom and nearly died but it was better than being bored i thought at the time i grew impatient again however and changed villages back once more finally at the end of the night and after shooting another cockatrice out of boredom i was approached by a curious vampire bat right as the sun started coming up i had nearly given up hope but the epione was right in front of me and on the third treat i obtained the first addition to my squad mounted and ready to go a good epi boy day 10 i got ready for my first extended adventure i wanted to soul by my epion so if i died i could resume it right now the epione was just as mortal as i was so in other words the epione was pretty much already dead i wanted to change that i couldn't find much besides another village but on day 11 i found something truly astounding i came across the largest shadow labyrinth i had ever seen this thing was monstrous and later i discovered that it went a few stories underground as well i marked it on my atlas and quickly left the ominous area before something terrible might happen day 12 i continued my search for a battle tower to no avail i also found a four tower dungeon that i planned to clear in the future but was too scared to cheese at the time i would get insta-killed by a vex if i let myself get hit and you are stationary when looting a chest so i didn't want to take any chances especially after seeing that amazing shadow labyrinth i continued exploring excited to clear that shadow labyrinth later when my jaw dropped i may not have found a battle tower but i stumbled across the rarest dungeon type in all of our railcraft a forest stronghold i could hardly believe my eyes the fact alone that a forced stronghold is located within the first 1 000 blocks makes the seed an amazing one but also having a teal lycanite dungeon the seed is 10 out of 10. i am so glad i managed to survive and find that out i would have never guessed my zero battle tower hyperthermia ridden savannah start seed would hold such amazing structures so close to zero zero i decided at this point no matter what i would survive day 13 i found two oasis villages and another four tower dungeon but still no battle tower i was truly worried i wouldn't be able to soulbind my epione i needed ender pearls desperately i started heading back to my base to gather my thoughts but then i found something truly unexpected i could hardly believe my eyes my seed had a massive shadow labyrinth of four stronghold and a tier v dragon next right near zero zero this seed may just be one of the best hardcore config seeds imaginable the starting loot is not there but the endgame loot is right there for the taking things get harder the further from zero zero you go so finding these structures this close is a lifesaver i for the second time made an oath that i would never die perhaps that promise was all i was missing from my other runs by day 14 i had nearly explored 1 000 blocks from 0-0 in all directions but still did not find a single battle tower i decided that i would just play it safe and keep my epi in by my side at all times unsoul bound for the meantime until i could find some ender pearls i felt too vulnerable to wait in the darkness for enemies to spawn though so i decided i would get stronger first before doing something so dangerous remember enemies hit really hard on this config even near 0-0 they hit harder than normal and you only have two hearts on each body part to start on day 15 i decided to just keep breaking spawners at a broken battle tower and exploring but then i came across a sad sight a grounded battle tower these battle towers take up the slot of my battle tower and i was devastated it seems the only battle tower near 0-0 was this grounded one unable to cheese this one i would have to dig underground and try to clear it manually this is very dangerous i decided it was worth it however i needed ender pearls and loot badly and going further from 0-0 for this stuff would be too dangerous day 16 i spent all day and all night underground digging a tunnel and fighting the zombies i brought a lot of wool for bandages but still the fighting was very risky and i ran out of wool fast i forgot that rare enemies are more common on the hardcore config and i was in a tough binds against choking withering and webbing enemies often looking back i should have been more careful but fortunately everything worked out day 17 i went to the surface and got some more wool so i can continue clearing the battle tower through the night all of night 17 has spent trying to cheese the bottom of the tower but finally the horde of enemies stopped coming disengaging to heal often was exhausting but it felt like it was the only way since breaking the spawners was difficult considering the cave spiders and baby zombies could flit through the one by one gaps and one shot me if i wasn't careful at the end of night 17 the problem of the tower golem presented itself though i ended up deciding to let the golem aggro me so it would break the floor under the tower and fall into a small hole i would then break the chest and take the loot things went smoothly and i got out unscathed on day 18 i finished sorting my loot at my base leveled up my building to 12 so i can make a reforging table and then i went out for a bit more xp by breaking a few more spawners at another broken battle tower so i could reach 8 in defense i made some iron armor and started to feel like i could relax a bit on that night however something very scary happened i put on an ender queen's crown i found while standing in water nearly ending myself in the process that would have been a very embarrassing way to die i forgot for a split second that what happened it is a good thing i reacted fast and took the bobble off as soon as i did days 19 and 20 were pretty uneventful i continued exploring and expanding my atlas borders slowly but surely looking for another battle tower i sadly only got two ender pearls for my first battle tower and i needed two more for my soul stone unluckily though i did not find much besides a roguelike dungeon next to a graveyard on days 19 and 20. i looted the graveyard and marked the dungeon on my atlas then continued to explore on day 21 however i found a kingdom this kingdom was a breath of fresh air because i did want some lapis lazuli as well as some gold i also got lucky and got attacked by a few banshees the banshees came in clutch and gave me three ender pearls i now had five in total and crafted my soul stone soul binding my epione at the end of day 21. on day 22 i went out in search for obsidian in order to make a reforging table i ended up just taking two obsidian from a blacksmith house i then grabbed some more bookshelves so i could trade with the librarians in my neighboring villages the first librarian i trade with on day 23 sells natural blocking too which is absolutely amazing this will help me a lot down the line i then went back to my base to reforge my baubles for better quality on day 24 i headed out with two undying quality rings of resistance and searched for a few leather so i could reforge my belting quiver bobbles just a bit more for better quality and then i moved on to getting bookshelves in my villages on days 25 through 30 i pretty much just leveled up villagers and broke bookshelves in all the villages i had found thus far the only non-village or trading thing of note that happened during these six days was me leveling my magic to eight and making a summoning staff on day 27. i mainly traded a lot of books i obtained from various structures with the librarians and leveled them up i obtained a lot of emeralds nxp from this process the days were pretty standard in terms of progression and it was a fair grind i found three really good villagers besides the natural blocking 2 villager i found on day 23 during these 6 days i found an upgraded potentials villager on day 26 a swifter slashes 2 villager on day 30 but the best enchantment i found by far was a strengthened vitality 5 villager on day 29 i genuinely freaked out that enchantment is one of the best for the hardcore config since hearts are so important on it i bought two natural blocking two books two strength and vitality five books four swifter slashes two books and one upgraded potentials book i intended to use these enchantment books on my upcoming diamond gear but i still needed a bit more xp i got to 15 out of 16 defense at the end of day 30. day 31 i continued to trade with villagers don't worry i don't trade with villagers for 100 days straight just like a lot it was worth it though because i got an advanced looting 3 villager and a difficulties endowment for villager on day 31. sadly after buying one of each of the books i was down to very few emeralds but i could still trade with the librarians for a bit more if i needed to day 32 i didn't find any more good villagers but i did almost die again in a terrible and pathetic way i wanted to cool down in the heat but almost drowned forgetting how slow you rise against a single water block i had to use my only recall potion to save myself or i was just playing dead that would have tilted me beyond oblivion losing this amazing world in such a dumb way would really suck day 33 i got hit by the random event sub-zero and lost a bit of productivity but i managed to find another battle tower after exploring some more unfortunately just like the first battle tower it went into the ground making cheesing it rather difficult i dug a hole in the side of it and continued to defeat the enemies that spawned with my aegis i then leveled up my attack to 8 so i could use a rapier allowing my aegis to do more damage by holding the rapier in my main hand what you expect me to go hit things with my rapier no not yet too dangerous on day 34 i continued slowly defeating enemies at the battle tower just enough to get 16 in defense and then i started heading back to my base to make my diamond gear mid travel it became day 35 i took a bit of a detour back to my base in order to fill out a bit of my atlas along the way as well along the way i found a witch tower where i took a diamond emerald and iron block as well as two gold blocks and some diamond armor that i then later melted i also found a mini battle tower where i found a subject mathematics 4 book and a notch apple the most notable thing i found though was an easily killable dragon i started taking it on as i thought it would be fairly simple considering the dragon was on top of the water i did not have a lot of room to fly though and took a few hits of fire which made me rethink my decision the beast eventually decided to go airborne when it hit around 40 health and i plain retreated letting the beast live to fight another day i also had no reason to kill it i just thought it would be easy since it was on the water after retreating from the fight cowardly i i mean tactically i stumbled across a friendly outpost where i sought shelter for the night on day 36 i found that my seed was an advanced mending 5 seed which made the seed even better i did not have enough emeralds to buy advanced medding from the villager at the time but i made sure to mark the spot on my atlas i then looted the rest of the structure and went on my way i traded a bit with some librarians at a new village i found but both librarians were terrible but it didn't matter i was ready to take the next step in my journey now day 37 came up fast on this day i finally crafted my diamond armor and was ready to head out to get the materials for my stone of the sea bobble i obtained two depths rider 2 books from a library earlier in my playthrough and was willing to use one on my diamond boots alongside of stone of the sea two rings of resistance and protection for diamond armor i would feel safe enough to raid an underwater doom-like dungeon first i needed a prismarine crystal and some fish though so that is exactly what i would go for first i enchanted my boots with feather falling 4 and depth strider 2 and then my helm with protection 4. i then headed out to the sea in search for a siren to slay with my chest still extremely vulnerable however i would need to fight with care before finding any sirens though i clear out a pirate ship's spawners for some xp on day 38 i spot my siren play she sat atop a rock seemingly minding her own business but i knew the beast's true colors behind that innocent face resides a demon waiting patiently for an unweary traveler to fall victim to her lullaby with great caution i approached summoning staff in hand and before she could sink her teeth into me she fell sinking to the bottom of the cold blue depths prismarine crystal acquired before heading back to my base i looted a glowstone shelter for some enchantment books the most notable book having empowered defense 2 on it which will come in handy day 39 came the task of acquiring raw fish i decided to take the passive approach by fishing in a local nearby pond miraculously my four only casts in the water yielded the four raw cod i needed maybe i should quit the adventuring life and take a fishing i seem to have a talent for it by the end of 39 i was out at sea and i had my stone of the sea bobble laying peacefully around my neck day 40 and i dove straight into the sea for the first time fearlessly i knew where an underwater dungeon was near 0-0 and i was confident i would clear it i first enchanted my chest plate with my protection 3 book and then i dove right inside it was dangerous and dark but the xp i was getting was better than any i'd gotten previously in the run the water was freezing though so to avoid death by hypothermia i had to frequently swim to the surface my first target in the dungeon being a guardian i couldn't break the spawners without a vitamins bobble because of the guardian's mining fatigue debuff but fortunately i managed to take one down swiftly i took more damage than expected and was genuinely scared but i knew that this was the next step i needed to take in my journey i had to overcome the depths of the sea and triumph over the currents and the monsters that resided within the dungeon with only a nerfed unenchanted iron rapier and the clothes on my back i felt like a goldfish amongst piranhas had to tread very lightly and depict my fights wisely on day 41 i continued to clear the dungeon and finally found my first god tier loot chest totem of undying heart container diamonds emeralds xp acquired i finally put strength in vitality 5 on my armor and felt a bit more secure even with all those hearts though i only had four bass hearts on each body part the hardcore config was not gonna go easy on me no matter how many hearts i got either but i bravely dove back into the dungeon since i still needed more xp i found another chest with an elytra in it filling up my inventory i decided to warp scroll home to deposit items in order to make room in my inventory for more later that night i continued my dungeon crawl in the underwater dungeon finding two shulker boxes which was an amazing moment this will save me a lot of time and allow me to adventure longer on day 42 and 43 i felt like i still had a lot more to do in the dungeon but i did not find too much more insane loot it seems i got most of it the previous day but i continued fighting through those two days there were a few instances where my overall hearts got low but my chest and head were pretty safe considering the protection enchantment was helping me so much i did get my attack to 16 and my magic to 12 but other than that i did not do too much on these days besides fighting in the dungeon on day 44 i left the dungeon and went into the battle tower that was going down i now felt strong enough to clear it without much worry by day 45 i was still progressing down the battle tower without much issue but then i met a dangerous foe a blight skeleton the beast hit hard and was relentless the speed that followed me around was ludicrous and it seemed to always want to get behind me when shooting its arrows making it hard to block them i ended up having to face tank it going down to two out of five hearts on my head it was a very scary encounter i fought all night 45 as well as day 46 to clear the battle tower i was surprised how long it took me to take down the battle tower in the end but considering i had to heal all the poison damage i kept taking constantly the time consumption made sense in the end when i finally got a bezel i was almost done with the battle tower but it certainly sped up the few final rooms i made a diamond rapier when my iron rapier broke and i did feel like i noticed a bit of a damage difference what the xp i was getting from the tower i sank all of it into magic to 20 because i wanted to use a disenchantment table soon at the bottom of the tower the golem did not stand a chance against me and the boys despite constantly inflicting me with wither the golem went down without giving me too much of a scare it took me all of day 47 to organize my loot into chess at the base from the underwater dungeon of the battle tower i had a lot of stuff to go through and items to melt down for ingots specifically silver ingots i also repaired my diamond helm with some of the xp that i had left over i took a lot of damage in those dungeons and it was a miracle that my gear didn't break while sorting my items i found that i was very close to being able to make a dragon's eye so that would be my next goal i took a break after day 47 and found that on day 48 it was april fool's day though and that was concerning as many rl craft veterans know holidays in our life tend to revolve around your character getting killed in ridiculous ways by ridiculous enemies after thinking for a bit i decided to play through the holiday anyways the first thing i did was enchant my diamond rapier with sharpness 4. i then took my sharpness 5 advanced fire aspect 2 sword that i looted from the underwater dungeon and decided to use both of those weapons back and forth as my main weapons i would use the sword against enemies with armor and the rapiers against enemies without on day 49 i was planning on raiding another underwater dungeon but then i decided that i was strong enough to raid a 4 tower dungeon i went to one close to 0-0 and began full clearing it for xp i leveled up my iron skin to one and my random crits to one at the start of the dungeon on days 50 through 53 i continued to clear the four tower dungeon it was exciting and dangerous but i would say there was no close calls i was playing decisively and cautiously with the biggest scare being a group of vindicators that had the aid of a reaper affecting with fear i went down to half hearts during that but other than that things went rather smoothly throughout the dungeon i leveled up my defense to 24 and my iron skin to two on day 54. finished up the bottom level of the four tower dungeon for some spectral silt and went back to my base with all the spoils i finished sorting my items back at the base on night 54 and set out on day 55 on a quest for a dragon i did not have a dragon's eye but i felt like it was time for me to make one for that i needed a dragon's skull and what better skull to use on my dragon's eye than the skull of a dragon that had been a thorn in my side since day one a dragon that nearly ended my journey before it could even begin that green lizard boy from day four his time must come to an end the fight starts off fierce and the dragon continues to fly higher and higher in the sky despite me not attacking him yet the fear the beast holds in its eyes shows that it understands that it is the one being hunted this cautiousness would make the dragon more difficult to slay than i previously thought i charged the beast after eating a bulwark burger only to have myself torn off my epione and sent plummeting down to the ground with my feather falling four boots though i had no fear i healed up call my passive epione down and went in for round two this time i had a nymph and a few aegis by my side but the dragon went straight for my epione sending me again back to the ground this dragon was smart but it was not smart enough to understand that there was no point in resisting i waited for my epione and went back in i knew it was just a matter of time before it would land it had been flying for 52 days straight after all it is bound to get tired eventually right and when it does i'll be oh it landed i sent the boys in and dove on top of the dragon making sure it would not fly away the beast thrashed and thrashed swinging me back and forth in his jaws as i continued a flurry of wet noodle attacks with my nerfed four attack damage sharpness four diamond rapier i was taking intense damage but after a long intense fight the beast finally collapsed of exhaustion and sank into the pond it had destroyed after fighting the dragon and cinders that followed i was brought down to one heart on my head i breathed a sigh of relief knowing though that after making a dragon's eye the scary situation would never occur again i looted the dragon for 14 green scales and took a somber glance around the village not a single villager survived for 52 days they waited for me but i never came i let them down and i was ashamed not a single huh could be heard and would ever be heard again all that remained was a burnt and desolate husk vaguely resembling a once bustling village day 56 i made my dragon's eye with the skull of a dragon that once tormented me and reforged some of my bobbles with the spectral silt i obtained from the four tower dungeon i then sent out to murder more dragons that were terrorizing the landscape hoping that the catastrophe that struck the nearby village would never happen again as long as i'm around the first dragon i found was a brown one medium-sized by the looks i threw myself on top of it and dragged it down into the water it stood no chance upon waking up on day 57 though i was met with a surprise another brown dragon was walking toward me casually and silently like an assassin little did it know that i would be the last prey it would ever hunt i quickly summoned my aegis with a beast within melee range ate a bulwark burger and jumped into the beast's mouth flailing violently at nearly 500 hp this dragon was the strongest i had yet to face after a staggering 30 seconds the beast finally went down this time i obtained 23 scales it was getting better but i still needed more scales i found another brown dragon in a birch forest nearby and quickly proceeded to take it down after charging it directly it knocked me from the sky and landed on top of me fighting fiercely to its last breath but it too fell as the others sadly it only gave me 11 scales i felt like at this point though that i had enough scales so i headed back to my base and organized some of my items knowing i was not ready to make my dragon armor however i decided to raid a roguelike dungeon nearby for some protection for books or protection for armor that i could disenchant for the books from days 58 through day 61 i cleared the roguelike dungeon the raid went without much issue but due to my low durability on my armor i decided to take on the dungeon slowly so that my armor would not break i got just enough protection for items to give my helm and chestplate protection for at the time i also had enough xp to enchant my armor and try for a weapon after finishing the dungeon i warped on my base and began making my new god set of gear day 62 my quest for my endgame set of gear began my first stop was the nearby friendly outpost where i would buy three advanced mending five books for 120 emeralds in total i did want to buy more but i only had so many emeralds after buying those three books i grabbed four anvils on my way back to my base from a nearby village and began setting up my enchantment table which i finished making completely on day 63. i made my trusty old max enchantment table which has given me far more luck in the past than any normal 15 book shelved enchantment table while other minecrafters try to tell you putting more bookshelves won't give you any more luck i swear i always get better secondary enchantments when i make a full enchantment table the primary enchantments remain the same but the extra ones you get tend to be higher quality at least for me so i tend to do it when i can afford to a completely floating enchantment table with nothing touching it with bookshelves on all sides even below and on top one block from the enchantment table was completely ready by start of day 64. on day 64 i disenchant all the good items i got from my travels in preparation for enchanting my new set of gear after i finished disenchanting my gear i began doing enchantment resets at the enchantment table on a new diamond tower shield i wanted empower defense 2 at least so i could combine my shield with my empowered defense 2 book i already had for empowered defense 3. i already had natural blocking 3 ready which we got earlier in the run on day 65 i enchanted my first diamond tower shield with unbreaking 3. i then went out in search of a single dragon that i would get for dragon's blood after finding one i took care of it quickly and went back to my base to continue my enchanting when i got back i quickly got empowered defense 2 from the enchantment table and then disenchanted that shield for an empowered defense 2 book i then combined my natural blocking books with my empowered defense book and placed those enchantments on my shield i now had a natural blocking 3 empowered defense 3 unbreaking 3 knock back 1 shield i then proceeded to make my new brown dragon armor i only had a few more xp tomes so i settled on just enchanting my chest plate and helm leaving the pants and boots to be enchanted later i play strength and vitality 5 protection 4 advance mending and advanced thorns 3 on my chest plate and i put protection 4 unbreaking 3 advancementing and aqua affinity on my diamond helm after reforging those two new armor pieces and shield for better quality i went off to get more xp on day 66 i decided that a doom-like dungeon that generated right under one of my villages would be a good step in the right direction in terms of loot as well as a good place for xp the first thing of note i noticed though was a cockatrice spawner a large violet cockatrice was suffocating in the walls i knew i couldn't tame that one but i was excited to try to tame a cockatrice since i normally never got the opportunity to have one in a mount considering its rarity i returned to my base to grab some dragon treats when i returned i didn't see the spawner initially so i just kept clearing the dungeon normally under the impression i would soon find the spawner again after fighting in the dungeon all night i found the spawner again on day 67 and decided i only wanted a cockatrice level 3 or a rare variant to tame after 5 cockatrice spawned i finally saw him a grey and blue ash and cockatrice made eye contact with me i knew we were going to be great friends i tamed and soul bound the beast i now had a powerful ally cockatrice will paralyze enemies it hits in a large aoe radius around it and it attacks extremely fast no enemies around me will ever be able to approach me again as long as my acocco trice is by my side as i neared the end of the dungeon i noticed the dragon den that formed right next to it without waking up the beast i marked the spot on my atlas for later and continued to clear the doom-like dungeon throughout day 68 and 69 i managed to make a few heart containers throughout the dungeon and my max hearts were starting to feel pretty weighty while clearing the dungeon however i found it extremely apparent i needed to get a better melee weapon i had so many instances where i would get cornered by dozens of enemies because my damage output was so incredibly low i just could not defeat enemies faster than they would spawn when i got back to my base on late day 70 i immediately started making preparations for creating an end game weapon i had some leftover xp though so i decided to first enchant my dragon boots with feather falling 4 depth strider 3 high jump 2 advanced mending 5 and protection 4. i then gathered all the enchantments i wanted to put on my new upcoming fire dragon bone rapier and got to work getting a base weapon from the enchantment table as well as doing some enchantment resets in an attempt to get some decent enchantments it took me all day 71 to get my preparations complete from chanting my new weapon day 72 though after a lot of resets i decided that i didn't have nearly enough xp to complete the weapon just yet so i wouldn't start enchanting it i headed out to get more xp first and what better place to go in the forest stronghold without a goaded weapon i was a bit nervous but i knew exactly how to clear the dungeon safely and where all the loot was situated i went into the dungeon without cheesing it and man eluding the structure is nuts on day 72 i was still feeling out the dungeon making sure i was safe in it but on day 73 i started going hard i started by clearing the exterior towers of the dungeon and i got some totems of undying some ingots and three xp tomes in the process since i did not have a solid weapon i broke spawners as soon as i could though as each enemy i had to defeat would take some time my cockatrice sure helped me a lot with the exterior fighting at least that thing is an absolute monster day 74 i finally dove into the belly of the forest stronghold into the best loot rooms i was hoping for a fairy ring but sadly did not find one but i certainly was getting a lot of xp heart crystals for heart containers spectral silt silver ingots enchanted books diamond gold and emeralds day 75 i was hit by the random event reptile ruckus so i left the forest stronghold for a bit to make sure strong leica knight mobs did not spawn too much inside the dungeon i then went right back to the grind within the belly of the dungeon still yielded many obstacles and enemies that i needed to defeat but i was cautious enough to prevail especially with the boys and my cockatrice by my side i fought nearly all night 76 day 76 and night 76 in the belly of the forest stronghold but i finally got back to my base and deposited a lot of my gear it took me most of day 77 to organize my loot but before the day was out i was on my way back to the forest stronghold to finish what i started now at max base heart containers i no longer needed to collect heart crystals and crystal dust fortunately so looting will get a bit faster when i got to the forest stronghold i was met with a problem though i knew how incredibly dangerous the main body of the dungeon is from personal experience with my current gear i would most likely die if i did not play this a certain way as you progress through the main tower of the dungeon there will be a couple evoker spawners that pop out of vokers like it's nobody's business as well as there will be a handful of vindicator spawners hidden amongst the dozens of witch spawners i knew that if i wanted to be efficient and safe i would need to break the spawners before too many evokers and vindicators spawned so i did just that like a bull in a china shop i rushed through the stronghold ignoring enemies and breaking spawners if i did not go fast enough the swarms of vexes the evoker spawn would be my undoing after breaking the last invoker spawner at the top loot room i rushed back out and i was safe i survived the forest stronghold i spent the majority of knight 77 finishing up and looting the forest stronghold i stripped every chest clean of anything i wanted or needed and i took every wither skeleton skull that the structure could provide me with seven wither skeleton skulls now i had more than enough to summon a wither for another star the prospects of fighting the final boss loomed heavily over my head and in my eyes i only had 22 days to defeat them on day 78 i organized my loot into chess at my base and went out to my nearby kingdom to grab some glowstone dust i got more than enough blaze powder and silver ingots from the four stronghold but surprisingly i had almost no glowstone after running that errand i made nearly a stack of glowing ingots and was ready to reforge my bobbles and create a poison stone with viper 2 and in venom 2 about to be on my new weapon i needed to make sure i had a poison stone to back up those amazing enchantments on day 79 i reforged my vitamins and soon to be replaced bezore for undying or hearty quality and then i made a nether portal i needed some brown mushrooms to make some fermented spider eyes for my poison stone bobble and for me the nether was the best place to get those after grabbing those brown mushrooms i warped scrolled back to the surface world and went out in search of some sugar cane for sugar now all i needed were spider eyes i decided that the nearly full clear doom-like dungeon nearby i rated would be a quick and easy way to get the spider eyes i needed spider eyes were acquired quickly and the poison stone was made soon after i then proceeded to reforge all my bobbles for undying her hearty quality and then jumped right into bed day 80 i took my 12 full xp tomes and started doing enchantment resets at my enchantment table i wanted lifesteal 4 education 3 and really just about anything good i was ready to enchant my rapier now with vampirism instead of lifesteal and just using adept2 instead of education but i would much prefer education so i could put my advanced looting book on that i bought from my villager earlier as you may know the enchantment adept does allow you to get more xp from slaying enemies but it does not stack with advanced looting the enchanting overall did not go too well though from days 80 to 82 all i got from the enchantment table were education 3 rapid fire 2 and then venomed 2. on day 83 i continued enchanting though and got swifter slashes 4 very quickly i now had swifter slashes 5 which was certainly a win the biggest win of day 83 though was when i got viper 3 and now i had viper 4. things were truly coming together on day 84 i got the enchantment atomic deconstructor and now i decided that i was ready to enchant my rapier all i needed now was a base enchantment from my enchantment table to help me get started to allow for cheaper overall enchanting costs as you know any enchantment you put on your item from your enchantment table is quote unquote free all added enchantment books after that will cost just as much as if your weapon was unenchanted i was hoping for a good base but after a handful of fails i decided it wasn't worth it and then i would just be better off just enchanting the rapier now or i would not have enough xp to make the weapon at all and i did not want to clear another dungeon with that sharpness 4 rapier it just does so little damage against the enemies on the hardcore config the first thing i did was organize my enchantments in order of most expensive to least expensive i would use the enchantment cost to determine which books i would want to combine and when to combine them there are a lot of different ways to combine books and no particular order is too much better than any other but generally combining expensive enchantments with cheaper enchantments is a good way to go i begin enchanting my weapon i combine swifter slashes 5 with viper 3 and put that doubled enchantment book on my weapon and then combine advanced looting with curse of possession and difficulties endowment 4 with mending then i slapped those two books together for a single enchantment book with all four of those enchantments on it i then put that times 4 enchanted book on my rapier for the total cost of 32 levels my weapon now had 6 enchantments on it i continued enchanting on day 85. i could have put all the enchantments on without upgraded potentials but i would need to get more xp if i wanted to do that considering i only had three xp tomes left so to avoid me having to go get more xp i decided to use upgraded potentials after adding a few more enchantments so instead of combining three enchanted books with three enchantment books for a time six book on my item like i would normally i just combined education three and sharpness four and then combine atomic deconstructor with perry2 and then put those two books together i then put that times 4 enchantment book on my item for the total level cost of 29. i then put upgraded potentials on my item and finished off things simply and easily from there i originally didn't care too much for upgraded potentials but he certainly came in handy even with upgraded potentials though i couldn't put on the last two enchantments arcslash 3 and subject english 3. i did squeeze on lifesteal 3 and venom 3 but sadly needed 22 more levels i decided that the god tier shadow labyrinth near 0-0 would be the next place for me to go i brought my anvil with me and decided to finish enchanting the weapon mid-dungeon clear on my way to the dungeon i got intercepted by a dragon but with my new weapon and riding a cockatrice that has even more hp than the dragon does the fight was not a problem i quickly hit level 22 in the dungeon and finally had my completed glorious weapon with this bad boy i felt pretty secure for the first time in 85 days i felt safe day 86 i went back to my base and made myself a pair of black dragon pants i also brought along a few enchantments and an anvil with the intention of adding the enchantments on those pants as i cleared the dungeon i also brought an extra advancementing 5 book that i planned to put on my shield along the way by day 87 i was inside the teal lycanite dungeon and bosses were falling left and right soul stones were practically raining from the ceiling not to my surprise however i dealt too much damage to the lunar group miniboss i regrettably realized that i was indeed above the damage cap so i would need to make another weapon if i wanted to burn the final bosses with confidence in the meantime i just let my aegis and cockatrice defeat the bosses since i myself did too much damage for the damage to register against some i spent all day 88 and knight 88 in the teal lycanite dungeon even with my god tier items it took me an entire day and night to clear the dungeon this shadow labyrinth was truly massive but it was a very exciting experience for me the loot wasn't super amazing but i did get 5 stacks of diamonds which was pretty nutty with the soul stones i got from defeating the bosses however i now had everything i needed in order to defeat the final bosses and day 89 that quest began after sorting my items into my chest i had to come up with a new weapon that i could use against the final bosses i had an advanced sharpness 2 dark shadows 2 weapon i could use but the weapon would only do a good amount of damage as long as things were completely dark in order to take full advantage of this against a magalich i would need to fight at night which is a bit scary i decided after some thought that that wouldn't be much of an issue and i trekked forward i put lifesteal 3 in education 3 on that sword and placed that boss melting weapon on my quick bar the weapon certainly wouldn't do 50 damage constantly for max dps on the bosses but my guess would be that it would do around 20 to 30 damage which is still pretty solid i also planned on putting swifter slashes 4 on my item later day 90 i went into the nether to get some soul sand and to summon the wither for another star i also cleared a bit of a battle tower in the nether because i wanted a bit more xp i summoned the wither near the roof of the nether and it was a bit of a chaotic fight since he would teleport away his loot also teleported pretty far so i almost didn't find it i am glad i decided to look around instead of assuming the loop just bugged out though on day 91 i made some golden carrot juice and got mentally prepared for asmodeus i was really nervous because i had never fought the final bosses on the hardcore config before and a blight boss would just be the end of me losing 91 days of progress would have made me scrap the entire project i however had to forge onwards as there was nothing left for me to do in terms of gameplay progression besides the final bosses they needed to fall late day 91 i stand looming over the boss altar reconsidering if i was ready or not and then as if possessed by some warlord gamer i just started the fight immediately my eyes pop out of my head the boss is rare not infernal i was lost for words in a good way because in the hardcore configs notes it says that all final bosses are infernal did shivaxi change it or did he not explain it properly in the notes i was under the impression the boss would only be infernal which would give the boss a lot more hp and crazy effects that would almost certainly kill me much to my delight i lunged at the boss with a glimmer in my eye there was hope hope that the config truly wasn't impossible i thought i was certainly dead but a weber berserk asmodius at 0-0 would not be nearly enough to defeat me considering my gear my cockatrice following in battle next to me was a bit scary but i continued my onslaught on the boss and after tanking a lot of cacodemon blasts in stage 3 of the fight the boss glided over to me and fell to my sword as modius came crashing to the ground we had defeated the first of four final bosses and it felt good really good day 92 i wasted no time i crafted a waystone another soul key and a demon altar rauhavart was next on my hit list i built the ralvard altar next to the roof of the nether so i could break through the bedrock and place a way stone up there after the fight the rauhavart fight was scary but i had a game plan after burning through his stage 1 and 2 as well as some golden carrot juice i took out my summoning staff for phage 3. i tapped him to trigger the phase and then summoned all of my boys as well as my cockatrice with our combined might rafflevark could hardly summon his green flames and he too came crashing down the earth the ruler of the underworld had been defeated on day 93 i knew what was next but i was very scared amou glitch was next on my target list but that boss will one shot me no matter how i look at it i decided to equip a cross necklace as insurance and have my totem up on dying in my offhand while fighting but that still wouldn't be enough to save me if i actually let myself get pulled in i decided to be even more safe i would bring a stack of ender pearls as a fail-safe to take full advantage of my dark shadows backup rapier i would need to fight at night and to make sure the boss hits as soft as possible i would have to fight him near zero zero so that is what i did on my way to zero zero i got revisited by an old friend the black dragon at zero zero was still there waiting for me with a heavy heart i met that worthy adversary with a sharp glare and charged it bringing it down to earth with only a couple swings of my insane sword i waited for night time before summoning a maglech and right as the sun went down it was showtime my only hope is that the bosses not blight or infernal as well as i hope it isn't choking since i forgot to bring a ranged weapon if any of these three prerequisites were met i would just retreat to fight him another day to my surprise the boss truly wasn't any of these three things instead he was even scarier the boss was in a maglitch of cloaking in other words he was invisible i would have no way of knowing if he would start pulling me in or not i was terrified but knew that i couldn't back down this boss was very doable i just needed to be extremely cautious the fight starts off normally with me going in bravely with my melee weapon i get the boss to around 80 hp and decide to ender pearl to safety as i was afraid of being pulled in since i wouldn't be able to see the animation lo and behold a few seconds later he begins wiping everything in the vicinity i was only a few seconds away from losing everything i go back in for round two swinging away and out of fear i back away when the boss's health hit 75 percent the next time though i decided i was gonna stick it out until phase two no matter what phase two indeed was triggered and i knew what i had to do the same plan as rahul bart's stage three i was gonna summon my boys and cockatrice at the end of the stage to burst down the boss all i needed to do now was execute everything smoothly i drank my last golden carrot juice summoned my aegis pulled forth my cockatrice and dashed into the boss or well where i assumed the boss was at least it was an intense dps race that i couldn't afford to lose because the sun was coming up soon my dark shadows rapiers damage would take a massive hit it was now or never everything came down to this very moment with an intense final burst the beast while fighting bravely could not handle the onslaught of the boys and my cockatrice amalgalich the lord of the dead had fallen day 94 starts right at the arena i take my boss drops and get ready for the scary end all that was left now was the ender dragon when the beast falls i will have officially beaten the arl craft hardcore config and things still felt too good to be true i made my eyes of ender at my base and began my hunt for an end stronghold it took me into the end of day 94 to find the stronghold and by day 95 i was inside the end fighting the ender dragon this ender dragon fight however was unlike any i had ever faced i charged the ender dragon with my god sword expecting to do it in pretty easily but the beast took next to no damage i knew the ender dragon does not have a damage cap so what gives my weapon hits like a truck this ender dragon seemed to have thousands of hp and that certainly is not normally the case this made me think that the ender dragon must have been an ultimate bulwark ender dragon or an infernal enderdragon without knowing what type of enemy the enderdragon was i decided that i had to be very cautious looking back at the footage it does seem like the ender dragon i fought indeed just had incredible defense and it must have been immune to my envenomed and viper enchantments that certainly would make sense as to why he was so tanky in the end though the beast fell and would no longer harass the poor residents of the minecraft universe while my job seemingly was done my 100 days certainly weren't i still had some things i wanted to do and i had five days to do them toward the end of day 95 i went on a shulker box shopping spree and on day 96 i was still on the hunt for more but on day 96 something incredibly weird happened i spotted an enemy i had never seen before thousands of hours of our craft experience though was screaming at me that whatever that thing was that it was really dangerous was it because of april fools perhaps i was unsure but i was beyond curious after saving the world from all four final bosses could this one enemy really pose that much of a threat no no no no no no oh my goodness oh my god if my cockatrice wasn't paralyzing this enemy i was dead blights are just way too fast attack way too fast and absolutely obliterate shields my cockatrice saved my life and i hope to never see another 500 hp rainbow blight ever again because my heart seemingly sank further than it ever had before in that moment after that scare i just finished up raiding a nearby end city and returned to my base i only made 11 shulker boxes but i did not want to spend another second in the end that place is just wacky especially without a fairy ring i warp scrolled home and slept making it day 97. on day 97 i organized my items made a savage summoning staff and soared my xp made a silk touch pickaxe for my new ender chest and began my search for skeleton skulls to make a portal into the lost city's dimension which was the last dimension i needed to explore on this playthrough i tend to go into the lost city's dimension when making my base but considering it took me so long to beat the game i decided that i couldn't make a cool enough base in only three days i still wanted to make the portal though to get my skulls i looked inside the spruce houses in my villages and everything was going smoothly except for in one house i randomly got jump scared by a dragon which i proceeded to five shot but it was scary nonetheless for days 98 and 99 i organized my items some more color-coded some chokers and got really surprised when entering the lost cities dimension the dimension had me spawn right in the middle of a village and the village was nearly identical to the one i made my base at there was a library intact and a lot of healthy villagers normally the lost cities dimension is an ominous place with abandoned and haunted buildings so seeing such a healthy village was certainly a pleasant sight for sore eyes on day 100 i decided to drop everything i was doing and to finish off a sleeping giant that rested beneath the surface since the very beginning i wanted to go slay one of the largest tier 5 dragons i had ever seen with an adventurous spirit i flew over to the first dragon's dwelling and peered down on the beast peacefully asleep but i would not be fooled this beast would have my head if it knew i was nearby all this time i needed to get the jump on it i charged up my summoning staff to max and jumped right into the den and released the boys to wreak havoc upon the dragon i also summoned my cockatrice to get in on the action the dragon thrashed and screeched but it wasn't letting go this female dragon had overstayed its welcome near my base and i wanted what it most likely had on it a dragon egg the beasts put up the biggest fight out of anything i had fought thus far but regardless the beast still fell and i stripped it of its scales and bones hidden amongst the scales was a small green egg full of life should i return to this world i am sure that a strong and loyal companion resides within i finished off the day defeating the other tier v dragon that was nearby my doom-like dungeon but it was not as strong as the first and it did not drop an egg and i also revisited all my villagers thanking them for their wonderful contributions to my journey all in all the 100 days really taught me a lot about rel craft and made me truly appreciate the difficulty and beauty of the hardcore config with a heavy heart and a peaceful grin on my face i bid my world carries my strength and vitality five villager and cockatrice farewell and dreamt the
