q: what am i supposed to do??

a: survive as long as you can! theres a fairly in depth parkour system (keybinds are in the controls menu) so if you take some time with it it'll help quite a bit. dont worry too much about the traditional mc progression, since a. surviving at all is hard as shit and b. good luck finding any trees :p

q: oh my god this isn't optimized at all

a: it's not! you can change the quality of the shaders in the shader pack options (pause menu -> options -> visual settings -> shaderpacks -> hysteria shaders -> shader pack options), or if you really need to you can disable them entirely with 'k'.

(you can also adjust other visual settings with this. tip: motion blur is under "postprocessing")

q: why cant i make a new world?

a: i gutted the world system since theres no point in making new worlds. you should always be playing on the map that comes with it. so, instead of worlds, there's saves. if you want to make a new save, clone the one marked as 'clone this for a new save'

q: szalami. why is it almost two gigabytes

1: 2B2T

i downloaded someone else's 2b2t spawn world file off of github, and I've been using that to take my screenshots. 2b2t has fascinated me for a really, really long time, and it happened to fit really well with a worldbuilding project I was doing when I first started taking these screenshots.

i've dropped the worldbuilding project since then, but i've kept the hell world around because i (and y'all, apparently) think it's real neat.

2: No Cubes Reloaded

to me, a big part of the hell world's identity is that it's the barely recognizable mangled remains of minecraft. something bad happened here, and now all that's left is... this.

so, y'know, what better way to visually convey that than to destroy the one thing Minecraft's known for: cubes.

3: Distant Horizons

there's no real artistic meaning behind this one. its just cool to see everything at once.

4: Hysteria Shaders

this is the big one. hysteria shaders is super customizable, and it has probably the best fog in any shader i've ever seen.

the main thing i did was make the sky light entirely red. this, predictably, makes everything else red - but it also washes out any color that isn't red. this basically turns everything into a silhouette highlighted with an aggressive red.

i also massively increased the ground fog. this, combined with the sky light, everything feel like it's smothered in this giant layer of red smoke, surrounded by towering black monoliths.

those are the two biggest changes. i messed with the color grading a bit, and upped every quality setting to the max, but tbh im not sure if those really made a difference.

5: KDCraft

vanilla minecraft's textures don't really fit with the hell world. so i kind of just... replaced them with some other guy's textures.

(on an unrelated note, we really need more horror texture packs!)

TL;DR

wow that uh. probably could have been a hell of a lot shorter. hope you don't mind my rambling lol

anyways: 2B2T spawn + No Cubes Reloaded + Distant Horizons + Hysteria Shaders + KDCraft + a little too much imagination

these ones kind of suck honestly
