Cursed Apocalypse Pack

Quickstart

1. Find Cursed Ore underground and mine it with a pickaxe — it drops 1–3 Cleansing Shards.
2. Slay Cursed Walkers (zombie-like undead that spawn at night) for a chance at more Cleansing Shards.
3. Craft the Apocalypse Totem at a crafting table, then use (right-click/hold) it to open a Cursed Rift immediately at your location — or craft the Apocalyptic Altar, place it, and interact with it to start a rift.
4. Survive three escalating waves of Cursed Walkers before the timer runs out. Watch the action bar for live wave, kill, and time info.
5. Victory drops 8 bonus Cleansing Shards at your feet. Use them to craft the Doomblade for future runs.

Overview

Cursed Apocalypse Pack adds a dark, repeatable wave-defense challenge to your world. By gathering Cleansing Shards from the environment and crafting special items, you can trigger a Cursed Rift — a timed undead siege that rewards the prepared and punishes the careless. The mod fits naturally into survival progression: the resources you need come from normal mining and combat, and the rewards push you toward harder and harder encounters.

What It Adds

How To Use

Starting a Cursed Rift

You can trigger a rift in two ways:

• Apocalypse Totem — Hold it and use it (right-click / hold use). The rift anchors to your current position.
• Apocalyptic Altar — Place the altar block and interact with it. The rift anchors to the altar's location.

Only one rift can be active per player at a time. Attempting to start a second rift while one is active shows a warning on the action bar.

The Action-Bar HUD

While a rift is active, your action bar displays:

Cursed Rift | Wave X/3 | Kills Y/Z | Ts

• Wave — current wave out of 3 total
• Kills — walkers defeated this wave vs. the required count
• Time — seconds remaining before the rift fails

Wave Structure

Walkers spawn in a ring 7–14 blocks from the anchor point. Killing a walker you personally dealt the killing blow to drops 1 Cleansing Shard immediately, in addition to the normal loot.

Winning and Losing

• Victory: Survive all three waves. The rift collapses, 8 bonus Cleansing Shards drop at your feet, and all rift-spawned walkers are removed.
• Failure: The timer reaches zero. All rift walkers are banished and the rift resets. No rewards are granted.

Crafting And Obtaining

Cleansing Shards

• Mine Cursed Ore with any pickaxe → drops 1–3 Cleansing Shards
• Kill Cursed Walkers → chance to drop 0–2 Cleansing Shards or Rotten Flesh

Apocalypse Totem

Apocalyptic Altar

Doomblade

Abilities And Mechanics

Cursed Walker

• 28 HP, deals 5 melee damage
• Burns in daylight (like standard undead), can break doors, climbs obstacles, and pathfinds over water
• Targets players within 32 blocks and villagers within 24 blocks
• Drops: Rotten Flesh (common) or Cleansing Shard (uncommon), plus 8–11 XP when killed by a player

Doomblade

• 9 base damage — stronger than a diamond sword
• 900 durability, enchantable in the sword slot
• Lightning Strike Proc: each hit on a Cursed Walker has a 35% chance to summon a lightning bolt on the target, dealing bonus damage and setting it on fire
• The proc only triggers against Cursed Walkers, making it exceptionally powerful during rifts

Apocalyptic Altar

• Blast resistance of 16 and requires 6 seconds to mine — hard to accidentally destroy mid-rift
• Must be mined with a pickaxe to drop itself; drops one Apocalyptic Altar block

Progression And Strategy

1. Early game: Mine Cursed Ore and hunt Cursed Walkers at night to stockpile Cleansing Shards.
2. First rift: Craft the Apocalypse Totem (cheap, portable) and trigger your first rift. Default gear is enough for Wave 1; have food and armor ready.
3. After first victory: Use the 8 bonus shards plus what you've farmed to craft the Doomblade and an Apocalyptic Altar. Place the altar in a defensible position for future attempts.
4. Repeat runs: The altar lets you trigger rifts from a fixed, fortified base. The Doomblade's lightning proc dramatically speeds up walker kills, making tighter timers manageable.
5. Compound rewards: Every rift kill grants a shard, and victories grant 8 more — each successful run funds the next, letting you maintain a steady supply for enchanting, repairing, and crafting additional totems or altars.
