Overview

Minecraft but Biomes are Hostile turns exploration into a deadly race against time. The world is no longer just terrain—it's alive, and it doesn't want you there. Entering any dangerous biome starts a hidden timer. Stay too long, and the environment itself will try to eliminate you with escalating threats.

Three escalating threat levels
Level 1 (5 Minutes)

A warning. Darkness falls, and ominous sounds signal the biome has noticed you.

Level 2 (10 Minutes)

The environment strikes. Slowness, Hunger, and Fatigue effects make survival harder. Your movement becomes sluggish, your food depletes faster.

Level 3 (15 Minutes)

Lethal force. The Wither effect drains your life, and powerful Sonic Booms echo as the biome attempts to kill you. Escape or perish.

Core features
The timer system

Every second spent in a hostile biome increases the danger level. The only way to reset it is to escape to a different biome or safe zone.

14+ tracked biomes

From freezing peaks to sweltering deserts, almost every biome poses a threat. Safe zones like Plains and Rivers offer brief respite from the constant danger.

Visual and audio feedback

Custom sounds, particles, and visual effects warn you as danger rises. Bells signal level transitions, darkness falls, and Sonic Booms shake the world.

Dynamic reset system

Escape to a new biome to instantly clear all negative effects and reset your timer. Planning your route through safe zones becomes crucial.

Multiplayer optimized

Each player has independent timers and threat levels. Play with friends and compete to see who can survive the longest in hostile terrain.

How to play
Keep moving

Never camp in one biome for more than 15 minutes. Constant movement and strategic route planning are your best survival tools.

Watch for warnings

Listen for bells and watch for darkness—these are your only warnings before the real pain begins. Act fast when you see these signs.

Plan your route

Use safe biomes (Plains, Rivers) to travel between hostile zones without accumulating threat. Smart navigation is the key to survival.

Monitor the timer

Keep track of how long you've been in your current biome. Use the 5, 10, and 15-minute thresholds to gauge your danger level.
