Harder Reality mod 1.21+

The Harder Reality mod significantly intensifies the survival experience in Minecraft PE by introducing optimal stamina needs, including temperature, energy, water, and more, which players must manage carefully.

Key Features of the Harder Reality Mod

This mod introduces several realistic mechanics to Minecraft PE (Bedrock), including arm and leg fractures, item breakage from improper use, realistic crafting, hydration, temperature and energy needs, and additional stamina management.

To survive, players must stay hydrated, maintain moderate temperatures, sleep, eat only cooked meat, and avoid actions like breaking trees with bare hands or jumping from high places.

New Survival Mechanics
Here’s a breakdown of the new mechanics and requirements that make survival more challenging:

New Items:

Herbal Fibers: Obtainable by breaking grass and used to craft herbal string, essential for crafting a flint knife. The knife also requires flint shards, which can be obtained by striking stone with regular flint.
Boiled Water in Bottles: Satisfies water needs.
Craftable Sticks from Tree Saplings: Saplings can now be crafted into sticks.

Broken Arm:

Attempting to break a tree by hand results in a broken arm, preventing tree gathering and applying a debuff to attack power while also reducing health. Use the flint knife instead.

Incorrect Tool Use:

Using any non-tool item to break wood results in item breakage and loss.

Broken Leg:

Falling from a significant height causes a broken leg, reducing movement speed with debuff effects.

Raw Meat:

Eating raw meat now causes 100% chance of poisoning, making it essential to cook before consumption.

Thirst:

Players must drink water to survive. Below 10% thirst, debuffs are applied, and at 0%, death occurs. Unboiled water has a 25% chance of causing poisoning.

Stamina:

Quick actions like jumping, running, or striking deplete stamina, which can be recovered by resting or crouching for faster recovery. Sleeping restores full stamina.

Energy:

Energy depletes gradually during gameplay and more rapidly with low stamina. Sleeping is necessary to fully recover energy.

Temperature:

Temperature management is crucial, with safe ranges between 4.5C and 25C for cool temperatures and under 45C for heat. The Nether quickly raises dangerous temperatures, while the End realm is cold.
Proximity to hot blocks like lava raises temperature, while rain or being near ice blocks cools you down.
