Are you bored of how easy vanilla Minecraft is and want to experience something fresh? Jole's Hard Mode II does just that! This data pack's purpose is to increase the difficulty and nerf cheesing everything.

Optimized and compatible with single player and multiplayer. I highly recommend to play on a new world. Also may break other data packs,

[--Installation--]
1) Simply add the data pack "jhm2.zip" during the world creation screen.
