Hordes Of The Overworld

Quickstart

1. Run /apocalypse town to build Raven Creek’s safehouse around you. Choose a clear area; the command also creates Ellis, the Scout.
2. Interact with Ellis, then talk to him again to accept the road mission. Defeat 8 zombies and check your Field Journal or /apocalypse status for the next objective.
3. Craft a firearm and matching ammunition using the recipes below. In Creative, you can also find the mod’s items in the Combat inventory tab.
4. Hold a gun and use it to fire. Sneak-use it to reload from compatible ammunition in your inventory.

Overview

Hordes Of The Overworld is a Raven Creek survival story about defending a safehouse, helping survivors, and hunting down threats. Campaign progress is tracked per player. Zombie hordes arrive periodically during some objectives, and Ellis’s story leads to seven named enemies.

What It Adds

• Firearms, ammunition, and the Camp Machete.
• A Field Journal that displays your current campaign objective.
• A ballistic vest, patrol helmet, and field boots.
• Story missions from Ellis and optional contracts from four survivors.
• Commands to create Raven Creek’s safehouse and survivor districts.

How To Use

Firearms: Aim at a target and use the gun. Shots travel in a straight line and can hit living targets within the weapon’s range. A block in the way stops the shot. Guns have magazines and cooldowns; keep the correct ammunition in your inventory and sneak-use the gun to reload.

Field Journal: Use it in hand to display your current story objective. /apocalypse status shows the same progress.

Create the districts: These commands build structures around your current position:

Interact with a named survivor to accept their contract, then return with the requested items to claim the reward.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft these items in a crafting table. Hover over or tap a recipe shortcode to see its full ingredients and layout.

Ammunition

Most firearms use 9mm Rounds. The Riot Shotgun and Breach Shotgun use Shotgun Shells. The Precision Sniper Rifle, Anti-Materiel Rifle, Battle Rifle, Marksman Rifle, and Scout Rifle use Rifle Cartridges.

Firearms

Other equipment

Story missions also reward firearms and ammunition.

Abilities And Mechanics

• A newly obtained firearm starts with a full magazine. In Survival, each shot uses a loaded round.
• Sneak-use reloads the held firearm using compatible ammunition from your inventory. It loads as many rounds as your available ammunition allows.
• Zombie hordes arrive periodically during the road, medicine, and last-stand objectives. Expect a larger wave during the last stand.
• The Scavenger Ballistic Vest, Patrol Helmet, and Field Boots equip in their corresponding armor slots. The Camp Machete is a melee weapon.

Progression And Strategy

Ellis’s campaign proceeds in this order:

1. Clear the road: Defeat 8 zombies, then bring Ellis 8 rotten flesh for medicine.
2. Last stand: Defeat 12 more zombies. Surviving earns a Hunting Rifle and 24 rounds, and opens the named-threat missions.
3. Hunt the threats: Talk to Ellis to draw out each target. The order is The Gatebreaker, The Butcher, The Siren, The Houndmaster, The Switchman, The Bellwether, and finally the Raven King. Follow Ellis’s journal lead and the coordinates he provides to find each fortified site. Defeat the current target and return to Ellis for the next lead. The Raven King’s fight grows more dangerous near its end.
4. Finish the story: Defeating the Raven King restores Raven Creek’s evacuation signal. Use /apocalypse reset to replay the story.

Survivor contracts offer more equipment:

Carry ammunition that matches your firearm and reload before a horde arrives. Longer-range guns let you thin out threats before they close in. Use the journal or /apocalypse status to keep track of your current objective.
