Release r2: The "Hurtful" Difficulty

After about one and a half years I present to you, the Hurtful Pack r2 which consists of many smaller datapacks aiming to make every Minecrafters life a lot harder!

...a datapack pack?

The evolution from release 1 to release 2 is so big, that its progress could only be put into perspective by comparing
the amount of .mcfunction files, which have increased by 1893%
or by comparing the line count, which have increased by 1143%

while also having decrased the amount of performance impactful NBT lookups and @e selectors per file by 64%

All Datapacks

graves

limitedlife, graves and loud2x2tnt are recommended to be installed together and make up the current "Hurtful Pack" (harder survival)!

earlyleatherarmor
Crafting recipes, note that the leather boots give additional speed!

graves

Upon death, the player drops a skull and some bones with it. If the skull gets mined, it will drop bonemeal called "Skull Dust". This can be used to grow tallgrass and tall flowers on grass blocks! If limitedlife is present, it'll replace the "Bat Wings" as the curing ingredient.

loud2x2tnt

If tnt is placed in a 2x2x2 shape, it'll be much stronger (ExplosionRadius:30b), louder (1024 blocks loud) and it will crush every skull into "Skull Dust" if graves is also installed!

limitedlife

The player will lose one heart every death. The glass block reduces the max health. The player can only heal if End Crystals above filled cauldrons are provided with its curing ingredient, the "Bat Wings". A rare drop from bats. During the process, the absorbing effect is needed in order to catch the beam! The End Crystal gets angry very quickly, so don't challenge it...

If the player fails to heal before its 10th death, it will be teleported into "The Void". From there on, the only hope is to wait for someone who didn't catch the beam in the curing process.

The "Bat Wings" can also be used to craft a different kind of Elytra.

The "Bat Wingsuit". Its slow, burns on daylight and expensive. Easier to obtain early game!

morsecode

These can be used to give signals from any distance and any dimension (if the chunks are loaded). Gold is for sending signals and Iron for receiving them. The picture shows how to build them.

signalfire

You feel lonely? Throw leaves on burning wood to get attention by nearby players!
