The Hardest Minecraft Modpack You've NEVER Played 

Pack dev here. I'm surprised this made it into a video after how much suffering EQ was in by the end of the streams. This probably is unbelievable, but Explorer's Eve really isn't meant to be so exceedingly hard. It's intended to be interesting and fun. Seeing someone else stream this for the first time made me realize how overtuned it is. If anyone wants to play this pack right now, do it on Easy or Normal for a less enraging experience. I'm currently working on an update to fix some of the issues in this pack, including problems other than the difficulty. I don't know when it'll be ready, but beta testers have told me that it's much more fun already. Thank you, Eqlipse, for giving this pack a chance anyway. Maybe once it gets a few more updates, you could revisit it and have a more enjoyable experience.

The "Let's drink some milk for good luck, steal your water bucket for good fuck, and get over here for good suck" honestly goes so hard

21:00 The likely reason that the wither storm can't follow you to the nether specifically is because the nether is, uniquely, a giant box. The nether has a roof, which means that if the wither storm tried to spawn there, it would get stuck in unbreakable bedrock and either suffocate or get trapped.

​​it can't be hated because of the amount of effort put into the datapacks, but it can't be loved because of the difficulty imbalance

I had planned to sleep but I mean I can rest when I’m dead

45:00 "I don't have another Echo Shard" The Echo Shard in his inventory: 👁👄👁

the line "your rage gives me euphoria" is by far the most badass "screw you I do what I want" line I ever heard and I will be using it

59:10 bro just got the Bedrock Wither

good choice for keepinventory, would prob have gone insane without it in my experience of this modpack. The fight for igneus armor was baller though.

The cold parachutes only ever work once. You need the golden parachutes, which have 30 durability

1:16:40 I will give the command block sword a pass on it's damage, since it's not meant to be a weapon, technichally. Every command block tool does 25% of the command block's health, and the sword itself is made to just be "the item that can damage the block", especially since you have to make it inside the wither storm, you'd have no time to enchant it.

EQ, I saw your first stream of attempting this mod. I'm impressed you actually went through with it... I know how furious it made you at some points. I'm really proud of you for finishing it! I don't always want to see perfect games with pretty packaged endings... we all can find those all over youtube, but it's a lot of fun to see the tiny details and that not everything is easy and creators can struggle too. I actually would love to see more videos like this one! I'm not sure you can find another modpack with as much challenge and difficulty, but if anyone can do it, it would be you! GG.

9:43 EQ throwing out the naga sacle leggins instead of wearing them

54:00 I've personally always found the phantom labyrinth to be a very fun place in the Forest, typically because if you've got a looting sword, you can find one of those dead ends with a helmet crab spawner, and just farm knightmetal for an hour to get infinite diamond-equivalent.

YOU FORGOT to say eq for short at the start😡

I'm glad you played this as it was an interesting experience with a rather literal take of the whole 'you had me in the first half' situation, I'm hoping to see another video on this in the future when it's further updated and fixed, as is, it feels heavily like it's intended for multiple players and even then, would be absurdly difficult, which is a shame considering what a unique and honestly terrifying concept this one has. Props on getting as far as you did and saving us the pain and suffering of playing this in its current state, I'm sure the honest feedback is good for the devs and considering the comments I've seen, it looks like they're already taking notes from your video which is awesome. Alas, keep up the good work and looking forward to whatever you may have in store next. (Side note: A fun series I enjoy is the Craft to Exile series, hella fun Diablo inspired group of modpacks with a new one out recently that looks fun too)

23:50 i love that he Just sang "mr dirty balls" by dagames out of excitment

All the custom changes and attention to detail in this pack, even though it isn't finished, is absolutely insane and beautiful! I love seeing passion projects, and this pack is the definition of that. sm644me said he was planning on balancing it because it wasn't meant to be so hard, and I think it's gonna be a lot of fun and in my top 5 packs once that's done :))

Having watched you play alot of this live, the raging was glorious! It's awesome to see you breakdown the mod packs and work with the dev to improve them.

3:58 Even though you died before eating your food, the game uses one in the death screen, and it actually consumes it. You can see the count go down when you respawn.

Project Overpowered by SimplyBlizz was a fun modpack where I fell in love at first and it’s just under 15k downloads. It takes a fun approach to both skyblock and supposedly OP mods like ProjectE Another fun mod that you’d probably enjoy would be Dimension Drift by 8z0o. Like this modpack it would give a similar rush of thrill feeling. I guarantee. As it also starts you off in TF

You're one of my favorite youtubers, whenever I miss the oldschool minecraft letsplays I always watch your videos, reminds me of the good times from way back when. Thank you so much for making your videos❤❤❤

EQ: Every second I’m not running is a second that ******* is getting closer Wither: DOOR IS STUCK DOOR IS STUCK

Its crazy how you grew up in 1-2 years. I was watching you from the start. You achieved a fun channel! Enjoyable to watch

Let's go! I found you when you uploaded the skulk video and since then have binge watched all of your videos from a year and a half ago to now. I'm excited to keep the ball Rollin!

And stupidly enough they are also TRYING TO STOP MODDING, like why are devs allowed to make money from their hard work while people who develop plugins are?!

its funny i originalyl started this video thinking oh hey ill just watch 10 minutes then go do something else, but i ended up watching the whole video because of how funny it was and how entertaining your personality is! i wish you the best of luck on your journey

Ur commentary is the main reason I watch ur videos. Amazing

daaamn this was a cool video showcasing a great modpack, i tried explorer's eve a bit ago but i dont think i quite understood how it worked so definitely gonna give it another go soon... once it's been updated to be playable, ofc though, i should mention that, unless the withered symbiont fight had some features not shown in the video, the withered symbiont was about the same as it is in the base witherstorm mod, down to the fireballs and mob spam, the only custom stuff was the tainted dust and new spawning/death events (and maybe the music? hard to tell from what little we heard) edit: perhaps the withered symbiont is cranked up a bit, it's actual abilities are normal but they might be cranked up to 11

Eq that cake analogy was perfect!

Nice! I love smaller packs getting the spotlight

Neat, I saw Mr. Beardstone in that short scroll of modding content near the beginning!

hey man really loved your video . The amount of rage was interesting and it was fun to watch . I was new to your channel and I hope you upload more like this videos

Finally eq remebered they aren't dead lmao

*goes to ice queen castle* "let's see if there's any chests here" *gets smacked by a snowball in the face* *starts running away* "i tried.........i tried" XD Golden content

I love the ace attorney music used in the background

EQ and dragon bane is like the snail thats gonna follow you everywhere until it touches you and you die

now imagine adding a custom sculk horde variation to this, it only spreads in the nether. that way you have to be on the move even in the nether.

Finally, a minecraft youtuber that doesn't force themselves to be family friendly

HE DIDNT SAY "EQ FOR SHORT"!!!

I always tend to get my Redstone Heart in the End. Also, from what I saw, the "True Final Boss" is harsh beyond belief

Fighting homlessnes whith this one, and my good dead of the year compleate

The Wardens Summoning idk if you already made a video on it but it's good

This man is so underrated. The "Let's drink some milk for some good luck, steal your waterbucket for good fuck and get over here for good suck" was fire. And I loved LOVED the Hamilton reference. You deserve so much better man❤

wow! this was such a great watch!

Do the insane craft 200 days

creating a difficult Minecraft mod pack is such a challenge, even if you are exceptional at balancing there is always going to be people who will fall off of both sides, either it's to easy, or to hard. i think it's even harder in Minecraft because tbh minecrafts combat isn't exactly what i would call great, it works, and it can be fun at times, but it's honestly not what makes the game good. I think when mod packs push everything to the brink, cracks inevitably emerge. I, as an example, was not a fan of RLcraft due to it confusing unfairness with difficulty. it sucks to because theres obviously a lot of good to it, so i understand where EQ is coming from. i think what really sucks, is if a mod pack was just bad we could be like "damn that sucked" and move on. but when something like this shows so much promise but becomes ultimatly dissapointing due to too many flaws, it gets to you... hope the pack gets better, thanks for the great vid

If I wanted to fight the wither storm in netherite I would play vanilla with only the wither storm mod. A decoy that lasts 10+ minutes can be used to slow the wither storm long enough for you to fight bosses. The fact that the twilight forest has a final boss is absurdly amazing, so many people have been waiting for such a thing. I would restore the linearity of the biomes but not having them be lethal walls is extremely nice, and as for the bosses? The dev has that covered perfectly. The fact that the nether is the only safe place is hilarious and if it wasn’t it would be beyond unplayable. The nether is dangerous and the terrain is filled with holes leading to death so a constant chasing threat is a no go. I’m curious about the end as an elytra seems useful in the blue skies/aether dimension. Speaking of I wish there was more interaction there. And finally, as he was showing of the explorer’s gear I thought there was going to be a full set but I suppose not. What I don’t like about games that try to up the difficulty to max is that at some point they stop increasing difficulty and just start playing the “MORE!!” Meme… you do realize the most satisfying part of a challenge is the ending right?

Ignis theme is still the greatest theme ive ever seen in a modpack

Ard the parry mod. Shields have a cooldown but if you parry your shield will skip the cooldown the enemy takes more knockback and a bit of damage

I finally saw someone play Ciscos other than u. Ur video was so much better. Watching the play through too. He also had help from Francisco. 😊

at 45:11 he said he has no echo shard when... he shows his inventory and there is one right there. i bet after he realized he slapped his head down hard.

you should try this modpack called Prominence II

Praying for this to get recomended

hes going to have fun playing infernal origins cant wait to watch that lol

As someone that played GTNH, I call BS... Great video though! Its insane 😂

If I might make a quick recommendation, I believe you’d have a blast playing either Elden Ring or Hollow Knight with how much you seem to enjoy a challenge.

I just noticed that the withered symbiote is practically the Ferrous Routnought from mozies mobs

Instead of a modpack you can try hypixel skyblock, one of the minigames in the hypixel server. I dont recommend doing a 100 days vid on it because it is HUGE.

Courtroom révolutionnaire detected, video validated (just wondering which version you used because I could only hear it for a split second)

"Your rage fills me with Euphoria" 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Finally, a banger video

I’d love to see Sevtech 200 days.

One of the best RU-vidrs on one of the best mods

Try adding the one who watches, the wendigo, cave dweller, from the fog , man from the fog, starved stalker, corpse stalker and the midnight lurker with some of these mods if possible too then say how difficult and unfair it is, from my gameplay if you don’t know how to play the mod or don’t know what they are about or add then you will die every 3 minutes

Is it possible you could play 100 days of Manufactio. It is Factorio mixed into Minecraft. Would be fun to see how your brain react to the automation.

You should attempt "Evolution reset", it is the single most unfair modded experience I have ever had. It is a brutal modpack where cheats are banned. No way around. Creative was disabled so no testing. Recipes are brutal and food management is a special spot of hell

Perhaps you should try playing the better than wolves mod pack

Such and underrated RU-vid channel

Remember Cisco’s modpack Eq that was fun wasn’t it 😊

Y’know what they say about Low Hanging fruit, but I don’t care. I loved the joke at 9:16 - 9:20. Haven’t seen the rest of the vid, but I figured I’d checkpoint that joke lmao

What a nice video... 0:36 It's that Mr Beardstone?

I think of your spawn BS being like an army. One soldier dies, but then another one comes. It removes you from being the main character but still gives you power in the form of being an army of 1 yet 100s.that

THE GOAT IS BACK

Eq have you ever looked at Craft to Exile 2? Very cool modpack

44:23 mwah, love you too eq lol. i am the guide frfr. tell me whenever you need more datafindin

i thought you died i was waiting for another vid for so longggg

i recommend a modpack called Infernal origins made by union, its preaty challenging and fun

The king has returned

The wither is kinda like the bedrock wither... But faster regeneration and goes BOOM more often.

U should play rebirth of the night

"Honey wake up, EQ just dropped new video after 2 month"

try playing trepidation next

The reason for the Wither Storm not being able to follow you in the Nether is because of Story Mode's canon Wither Storm breaking the portal. So basically, the mod dev knew of Story Mode's canon but allowed the portal to not break I guess.

This guy reminds me of some old Minecraft role player I used to watch named aviator gaming... Never knew what happened to that guy I'd like to think this is him

You know it’s hard when the first enemy you encounter is the goddamn wither storm.

WE NEED ALL THE MODS 9

I wish you to play the minecraft mod pack called Blood N Bones. It is an old mod pack so it may be a little boring but it is equally or if not harder than RL Craft.

6:44 best line heard in awild

What I thought was really funny is how I predicted ur death before the Harbinger exploded 😂 I KNEW that it would since that's a mechanic of the Wither on Xbox. The difference is that Xbox Wither spawns 2 Wither skellies when at half health

Even RLCraft wasn't this ruthless toward the player, and that's saying a lot. It may be easy once you get used to it and learn to cheese, but even then it's not balanced in the slightest, and yet it's still more fair than this modpack here. How?

You've uploaded EQ!!!

A Harrowing experience

You can farm the Ignis Shield, deconstruct The Shield with your uncrafting tabel that you SHOWED AND FORGOR at the begining and make the ignis armor and ENCHANT IT . And you could have a chance . Im speaking from the original mod so it can not work . And can you just not spawn the wither storm?

Finally new videos😂😂

I'm glad someone is playing this and I can watch cause I'll never play this shit lol

i REALLY recommend you to play the gear to kill bosses mod on curseforge at hardcore man the MOD IS VERY HARD and i also want you to spawn the witherstorm not after u get gear but WHEN YOU START THE GAME thats because only ive tried doing so and it was hard because alot of things where happening, so i want to see if you can withstand all that a wither chasing you random bosses spawning game stages and much more :3 I tried this myself and it was really hard. I made RU-vid videos of my attempts, but they're all private now. If you try it, use the Ring of Seven Curses to make it even more difficult. This addition to difficulty will make the mod way more rewarding and also add the From the Fog mod, ive did and it works too im planning to start making unedited videos of this mod, but i wont be on hardcore and ill probaly have to turn on keep innovatory since its very hard. also if u want to add even more difficulty try turning off regernation, we all know that stuff will just make it 333x more harder ! Note: theres a 3rd life mod, this mod gives 3 livesif u die on all three uhm. well ur dead forever, basiclly hardcore but with extra life

I feel like someone has said this before, but you remind me of a very vulgar Venturiantale and I fucking love it. You're great, and great video.

Doesnt even lnow that there's a block of ancient debris in the lava pool under the wither statue 😂😂

Next get the Star Gate in GT:NH
