The Dark Forest
by VirtualWorkshop
The Dark Forest is an adventure, equipment and food Minecraft mod from VirtualWorkshop with 915 downloads on the Orca catalog. It runs on Forge, so it slots into a matching Minecraft profile without hand-patching anything. The Dark Forest is free to download and free to host on Orca: press Play and Orca launches Minecraft with The Dark Forest already installed, or host it on a free server to play with friends. There is no control panel and no config files to edit, and no command line to learn. Describe what you want in plain English and Orca installs The Dark Forest along with the loader and Minecraft version it needs, then you and your friends are playing in minutes.
A vanilla style survival mod to make the Minecraft experience harder.
How to install The Dark Forest
Two ways to add The Dark Forest to Minecraft. One takes a click.
- Click Play below. Orca installs The Dark Forest with Forge and the right Minecraft version, then launches straight into the game.
That’s it. Nothing to download or configure.
- Download the latest The Dark Forest file from Modrinth for your Minecraft version.
- Install Forge and launch Minecraft once so the loader profile is created.
- Drop the downloaded .jar into your mods folder (the mods folder inside .minecraft, or your server's mods folder).
- Add any libraries The Dark Forest depends on (the Modrinth page lists them) into the same folder, then start Minecraft on the Forge profile.
