NOTE: Upon having other people test this pack, it is apparently way too hard. Mobs deal lots of damage, seasons lasting only 5 days is too punishing, winter is too restricting with both a hunger effect, natural regeneration, not being able to breed animals, and villagers always being asleep(though the "freeze in water" thing is surprisingly reasonable unless you die in water). The bosses do too much damage as they were balanced around protection 4 netherite, probably not the best decision, the winter boss' ranged attack isn't blockable most of the time(when it should be), same with when the ender dragon uses the same attack, multiple bosses use fire or lava, destroying your stuff, boss despawning is finnicky, pillagers and raids are way too buffed, there is no way to prevent the skulk spread in spring, it just wasn't thought through well. Cool ideas, poor execution. I'll leave the datapack up, and the outdated description below, in case people are interested in it. The wandering trader sells season skippers for echo shards and a clock, and wardens drop echo shards, so they're farmable. The most punishing mobs are the ones with swords that aren't gold, as they have range, similar to how a player would, and attack fast.

WARNING: This has been tested on a paper server, and it seems to lag a lot at certain times. It works fine on fabric. Use a fabric or vanilla server, or play in singleplayer!

A gravestone plugin is recommended so stuff doesn't burn when players die to the firey stuff later on. Also there are things that you may attempt to kill, they will only drop items when a player kills them, just as a heads up.


Acceptable Toil changes the game. It's a little harder but not "all mobs have 200 health and one shot you in full netherite". No spoilers though(other than the fact that there are seasons). Try to beat the game.

The resourcepack, though not required, is highly recommended. It adds textures to a few items(those textures are by AmCrafter) and it also adds some music(by me).

Make sure to make food your priority during fall. Obtain lots of meat, crops(not berries), mushrooms, and/or bonemeal for winter. This pack is recommended to be played in a group.



Thanks to AmCrafter for allowing me to modify his better end portals datapack: https://www.planetminecraft.com/data-pack/better-end-portals-v-0-3-4/ (I got permission from him to do so. If you want to you must ask him.) You do not need to install this datapack separately, it is included in this one, though it is modified.

Thanks to Zappier and KB for helping me design two things!
