\nSurvival Rebalanced attempts to fix or improve vanilla survival’s miscellaneous shortcomings with several small and large tweaks that don’t deviate too much from how vanilla survival already functions.<\/p>\n
\n****<\/p>\n
### A note about how I view survival mode
\nWhile I personally believe survival mode should be about surviving, I understand that many still primarily play for the sandbox the game provides. To appeal to both perspectives, I plan to only change the progression _towards_ end-game gear. This means, for example, that I don’t plan to nerf Elytra, but I will _slow down_ enchanting by nerfing librarian villagers.<\/p>\n
**** To get the current settings: To set a setting to a value (values are: `0b`=off | `1b`=on): `\/data merge storage svr:settings {settings:{SETTING HERE:VALUE HERE}}`<\/p>\n For example, to disable progression-based mob buffs, run:`\/data merge storage svr:settings {settings:{mob_buffs_setting:0b}}`<\/p>\n<\/details>\n ### Players ### Recipes ### Loot ### Mobs ### Miscellaneous * The regular furnace smelts iron into 4 Iron Nuggets * Enchanting via the enchanting table is boosted by the time now taken to get an anvil for librarian trades<\/p>\n ## Major gameplay changes A good side effect of making Iron more expensive is that it now takes a lot of iron to create an Anvil. This should actually HELP enchanting via an Enchanting Table! It also delays when librarian villagers come into play.<\/p>\n ### Recipe changes ### Loot changes ### Other changes ## Less-important changes ### Loot changes **** – Additional explorer maps If you want to remove Survival Rebalanced from a world, first uninstall it from the “Survival Rebalanced” menu, and **then** disable the data pack. This cleans up all saved data, scoreboard objectives, and active changes from Survival Rebalanced.<\/p>\n – Functions are not optimized optimally Improves a variety of parts in the survival experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":150715,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"survival-rebalanced","_minecraft_project_id":"jPZFRfGa","_minecraft_author":"RainlessSky","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":1146,"_minecraft_follows":9,"_minecraft_client_side":"optional","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"survival-rebalanced.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":6933366,"_minecraft_version_count":39,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T05:07:06.075576Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2024-01-06T20:55:37.358848Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-04-19T19:19:00.402944Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/survival-rebalanced","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":150715,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-09T01:58:28+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"b8aa910cc8ada40da6291565a2ea99e5","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[87,84,88,85,89,137],"mod_loader":[86],"minecraft_version":[93,94,101,102,62,96,154,155,37,40,41,38,79,80,81,82,83,167,163],"class_list":["post-150714","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-adventure","mod_category-datapack","mod_category-equipment","mod_category-food","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-mobs","mod_loader-datapack","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-5","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-pre2","minecraft_version-1-21-pre3","minecraft_version-1-21-pre4","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9","minecraft_version-26-1","minecraft_version-26-1-1","minecraft_version-26-1-2"],"yoast_head":"\n
\n## Features
\nMany features in Survival Rebalanced can be toggled in the config. Currently there is no user-friendly way to toggle features. However, toggles do exist via commands if you so wish:<\/p>\nToggling features via commands (requires OP)<\/summary>\n

\n <\/details>\nDetailed changelog (THESE ARE SPOILERS)<\/summary>\n
\n– Players now have permanent Hunger 1
\n – This can be toggled in the config
\n– Mobs are buffed based on a nearby player’s stage in progression
\n – Levels increase with obtaining iron, and diamond gear
\n – Players are further incentivized to use armor
\n – Once you reach a stage, it is irreversible
\n – Effects only apply within a 48 block radius. The highest tier in a given area is always used
\n – This system can be toggled in the config
\n– Health regeneration has been nerfed
\n – Players regenerate half a heart every 4 seconds from food
\n – Players gain Regeneration 1 when within 8 blocks of a lit campfire
\n – This effectively removes Saturation Healing

\n – Blast Furnace is an important upgrade if you need large sums of iron
\n– Crafting an Iron Ingot from Iron Nuggets requires 4 nuggets instead of 9
\n– Iron Golems must be killed by a player to drop Iron Ingots
\n – This effectively kills iron farms but I think there are other solutions. If you have constructive criticism about this change, especially from the perspective of redstone, please join the Discord server and share your thoughts!
\n – An alternative to iron farms is iron ore veins. If you need a huge amount of iron, you could quarry them out with Fortune or use TNT. A goal of removing of iron farms is to boost the importance of iron ore veins, which I’ve hardly seen used.<\/p>\n
\n– Added Trident recipe
\n – Trident costs 3 Quartz, 1 Heart of the Sea, and 1 Prismarine Shard
\n– Changed Spectral Arrow recipe to use Glowstone, Glow Inc Sac, or Glow Berries, instead of exclusively Glowstone<\/p>\n
