Roguecraft Data Pack (1.20.6, 1.20.4) is a data pack that aims to turn Minecraft into a Roguelite game by centering the game loop around runs. Each run, your goal is to defeat the Ender Dragon, but also to collect skillpoints to become more powerful in future runs. Once every player has died, you are sent back to the hub to prepare for the next run.

Features:

  • Skillpoints
    • Skillpoints are a valuable currency used for buying upgrades, making them essential for progression in this data pack. Skillpoints can be obtained in two ways. The first is to simply progress. You will gain skillpoints for smelting iron, obtaining lava, entering the nether, finding a nether fortress, obtaining blaze rods, entering the end and killing the ender dragon.
    • The second way of obtaining skillpoints is by crafting them. Below, you will see the recipes for skillpoints, each of them rewarding you with a different amount of skillpoints. The golden enderpearl in the middle of the recipe is known as a skill pearl. These are obtained by increasing your xp level, which means that you should get a decent supply of skill pearls naturally as you progress.
    • If you start a new run, every skillpoint obtained in the previous run will be gone, so make sure to spend as many as possible in the hub!
  • Upgrades
    • Upgrades are permanent buffs that can be bought in the hub using skillpoints. These range from stat increases like max health and attack damage, to effects like jump boost and night vision, all the way to starting with certain items, like a stack of wooden planks or even ender pearls.
  • Abilities
    • Abilities are active spells that can also be bought using skillpoints. Every ability has exactly 3 levels, which increases its strengh or duration, or decreases the mana cost. When you’re in the hub, you will hold 3 ability items in your hotbar. By clicking an unlocked ability while holding one of these items, you will bind that ability to the item you’re holding, allowing you to use it during a run. This means that by default, you can only hold a maximum of 3 abilities.
  • Mana
    • Mana is used for casting abilities. Your current amount shows up as a bar at the top of the screen and slowly regenerates over time. You can only cast abilities if you have enough mana for them. Your maximum amount of mana, as well as the rate at which it regenerates can be upgraded in the hub.
  • Classes
    • Classes are powerful archetypes that can once again be bought in the hub using skill points. You can only be in one class at a time, so make sure to chose the one that fits your playstyle best. Each class will come with a set of passive buffs, as well as a class ability, which works the same way as a regular ability, except much more powerful. Right now, there are 4 classes in total, those being Tank, Mage, Healer and Glass Cannon.
  • Vanilla Changes
    • Since the upgrades in this data pack are extremely powerful, the vanilla game has been made a lot more difficult. The first change is that without any upgrades, you start with only 5 hearts of health.
    • You also start each run with an unbreakable stone pickaxe (or stronger tools once bought that upgrade). This is because every tool, weapon and armor recipe is disabled in this data pack. Some notable exceptions are the bucket, flint and steel and shield, which means that it’s still technically possible to beat the data pack on your first run.
    • Unfortunatly, this might be impossible in practice, as the Ender Dragon fight has been changed drastically to make it significantly more challenging.
  • Difficulty Level
    • The final change to make the game more difficult is the difficulty level. This is diplayed in a bar at the top of the screen. Once the level increases, mobs will receive significant buffs, ranging from better armor and weapons, to totems of undying, to creepers turning into charged creepers and more.
  • The Hub
    • The hub is a central location that you visit inbetween runs. This is where you can spend skillpoints on upgrades, abilities and classes, but it’s also where the tutorial is located.
  • Multiplayer
    • This data pack has been tested and designed with multiplayer in mind. So while it’s perfectly playable and enjoyable in singleplayer, it’s highly recommended to play this with friends.
