Description from the author on Modrinth

HUNGERCRAFT

The world you knew is still here. It just stopped feeding you.


The fields are bare now. Where wheat once leaned in the wind, there is only dry earth and dead brush, and the villages stand quiet around empty plots that remember nothing. The bread is gone. The apples are gone. The cattle are just shapes in the distance that your hands will not let you eat.

What's left is what has always been left. The rot on the dead, the eyes of the things that crawl, and each other.

Hunger stops being a bar at the bottom of your screen. It becomes a voice. Let it fall low enough and your sword grows heavy in your hands, and something older wakes up behind your teeth. You can bite. Three bites make half a meal. Nobody will tell you it's wrong, and nobody will need to.

The night is darker than it should be. Fog gathers close and cold. Some things move only when you aren't looking, and they wait, patient and wet-mouthed, for you to turn around. Others smile. You will learn which is worse.

When something falls, it doesn't vanish politely. It opens. It leaves behind what was inside it, warm and heavy and red, and you will stand over it longer than you'd like to admit, deciding.

Even the tall dark wanderers of the old world are only husks now: few, starving, barely holding together, flickering at the edge of your sight like something half-remembered.


What waits for you

  • Only flesh feeds you. Rotten flesh, spider eyes, and what the living leave behind.
  • No farms. Village fields are stripped bare as the world loads.
  • The bite. Starving players can feed with their teeth, at a cost to their blade.
  • Organs. Hearts, brains, livers and eyes, each with its own price.
  • Things that watch, stalk and hunt. Some of them hide their faces when you look.
  • A custom shader pack of wet stone, drifting fog, real rain and deep shadow, built to make the dark feel close.

Play with the lights low. Play with someone you trust, at least for now.
