Revolutionary Minecraft Gameplay – Roguecraft

Rog likes are some of my favorite games that’s just something about getting better and better at a game until you’re finally able to beat it but very quickly let’s take a step back and Define what a rogue like even is the signature characteristics of Rogue likes are randomly generated levels and Perma

Death which means that once you die you lose everything all of your progress which for this data pack I tried to bring over to Minecraft or at least that was the initial plan you see as weird as this sounds in a way Minecraft already has a game mode in the base game that

Turns it into a Rog like that mode is Hardcore think about it the world is randomly generated if you die you lose all of your progress and there are even dungeons you have to go through to get to the final boss and technically if you

Die and start a new world that could be considered a new run so um this is awkward that was the whole premise of the video if only there was a sub genre of Rogue likes that would be much more interesting to turn into a data pack Rogue lights are very similar to Rogue

Lights it’s literally a onlet difference anyways remember what I said about perade death let’s just ignore that that’s pretty much what Rog lights are they keep most of the elements of Rog lights while adding some level of progression now that is a much more interesting premise for a data pack too

Interesting in fact which means that I got kind of carried away now there’s this giant tunnel full of upgrades abilities classes a custom final boss a difficulty multiplier multiplayer support custom advancements let me just walk you through the data pack in a way that makes much more sense than

This so here we we are in game right now we’re located in the tutorial where there’s a whole bunch of lons around us which explain literally everything about the data pack but I think it would be more interesting to just play the data pack and explain things as we go along

First of all let’s talk about the Hub now the tutorial is actually part of the Hub so let’s step through this bottle and take a look at the rest of the Hub and as you can see there’s a whole lot of stuff for us to look at first of all

In this giant tunnel we have the upgrades upgrades can be bought as permanent Buffs so for example over here I can increase my attack damage at the cost of four skill points now we don’t actually have any skill points yet we’ll talk about those later but as you can

See there’s quite a few upgrades over here we have abilities which are active spells for example we have P spere which deals damage in a circle around you or how about area mine which mines out a large area around you there’s a lot of really useful abilities here for a lot

Of different scenarios that being said they are quite expensive so they are more so a thing for the mid game and it also presents you with an interesting choice because in our hot bar you can see these three ability items these are used to actually equip these abilities

Now there is a way to have a fourth ability item and we’ll talk about that in a second but under normal circumstances you can only equip three of these 10 abilities but what about that fourth ability I mentioned a second ago well let’s talk about classes right

Now there’s four classes in this data pack and you can only be in one class at a time we have the tank which has an extra row of heart the Mage which has increased Mana regeneration the Healer which starts with healing potions and of course the glass Cannon which has

Increase damage but no armor outside of that each class also has a class ability now that being said we can’t actually afford anything when we open the Tap menu you can see that we have a zero nexar name this represents the amount of skill points we have which can only be

Earned during a run so let’s begin so here we are there’s a few things to note here first of all you might notice that we only have five Hearts you see these upgrades that you can unlock are quite strong and if I didn’t do anything about that this would just be completely

Unbalanced so I did a few things to make this a lot more challenging one of them is to reduce your max Health at this sord more importantly though there’s something very wrong here as you can see we can’t craft a wooden pickaxe now this normally wouldn’t be a problem after all

We already have a stone pickaxe and this one’s unbreakable but that’s all we get every single tool sword and armor recipe is completely disabled another thing to make this more difficult and if you really want better tools you’ll have to buy the corresponding upgrade now that being said this is technically still

Beatable and I mean it’s not the worst weapon maybe the second worst now there are two more things to make this more difficult one of them is kind of irrelevant for now but the other one is right there right above my head the difficulty level basically the entire

Time you’re playing this slider will slightly go up and if that bar completely fills up the game will get slightly harder so for example zombies and skeletons they will start spawning with leather armor and this applies to a lot of mobs and once we hit difficulty

Level 11 every time that bar fully fills up we will lose a heart for the rest of the run so basically we should go a bit faster oh it’s about to happen the difficulty level has increased to two so now every mob that can spawn with armor will have leather armor sounds tame

Enough but trust me this will get out of control pretty quickly now all of this being said there is one saving race as you might have guessed I’m talking about skill points oh this is quite the awkward angle can I get it closer um ignoring the fact that the whole screen

Is me now let’s talk about skill points skill points can be acquired in two ways the first one is something that actually already happened you gained one skill point for completing a major advancement you now have one skill point in total I didn’t mention it when it happened but

This was when I killed the Iron Golem there are a select few advancements that Grant you skill points in this data pack but that’s more so just a slight boost that’s not your main way of getting them instead there’s three new recipes to make these skill points now the last two

Recipes both have materials that require you to have an iron pickaxe technically you can also get gold from the nether but I’m not going to go there yet so for now I’m going to go with the first recipe this is why we gathered so much copper but what’s this material in the

Middle of the C crafting recipe that material is a skill Pearl these are quite valuable resources that you can only get by leveling up so right now we’re level six which means that we have six skill pearls and these on the other hand can be used to craft skill points

You now have two in total oh I don’t know if I mentioned this yet but there’s also custom advancements some of these are actually quite good I definitely recommend going for some of these now let’s get back to skill points because now we actually have a way of getting

Them oh yeah look at that this zombie now spawns in golden armor this is thanks to the difficulty level oh and there’s one last thing about skill Parts as I mentioned the main purpose of skill points is to buy upgrades in the hub but once you start a

New run all of your unspent skill points will be gone which means that you can’t really hard a lot of skill points you have to spend them right away so something like regeneration which costs 15 skill points is actually pretty tough to get oh there’s a lava pool I mean I

Said I wasn’t going to go to the nether but like I could definitely get some gold let let’s get some gold from the Nether and make some better skill points also you get quite a few skill points for entering the nether that being said definitely don’t go to the Nether on

Your first run you will die I mean let’s be real I got really lucky with this WAP Forest oh difficulty level four I think means that everything now has Iron Equipment so things are escalating quite quickly that being said let’s make these four skill points 11 in total that’s

Actually pretty good first run yeah you know maybe I don’t want to fight these guys look at them in their diamond armor okay now take a guess what difficulty level six does now the goal of this data pack is still to kill the Ender Dragon so outside of the fact that the game

Loop is completely different the overall progression is still the same so right now I’m trying to get blaze rods to get to the stronghold come on let me in let me in let me in give me the achievement hey there we go another five skill

Points oh oh oh oh oh oh Diamond wither skeletons I don’t see how I’m going to survive this to be honest they have netherite armor now I I I don’t see the problem with this situation at all if I’m being honest you know I I I’d say we’re doing pretty well actually and

That was the first run honestly more than anything I’m surprised that we lasted that long at The Fortress well let’s hit the respawn button and we were defeated but that was just our first run now we got a whole bunch of skill points to spend so now

For the the big question what do we spend these skill points on and the answer is that I’m not going to go the optimal route I think figuring out the most efficient way to spend skill points is a lot of the fun in this data pack

And so if I showed you what I think is the best way of spending skill points I think that would take away a lot of the fun so instead let’s do something less than optimal let’s buy one ability and one class as for abilities the arrow

Shock wave is actually really cheap so I think I’m going to upgrade this one quite a bit and once you bought a skill you just have to click it with your ability item to bind it to that item now this ability item this rectangle will show up in your inventory when you start

A run and then by simply using that item you can cast that ability as for classes let’s go for healer it’s more so well suited for multiplayer but it’s still decent in single player as for the rest of the nine skill points uh I don’t know food maybe and a bucket better tools

Maybe and defense so real quick I’m going to show off those new abilities oh this is quite the spawn isn’t it luckily there’s a handy command for Times Like These and believe it or not but this was not planned so in chat let’s type trigger restart run once every player

Has used this every player will just die causing the run to reset very simple quality of life change now let’s hope for a better spawn right away there’s a few key differences at the top below the difficulty level you will now see a manab bar this is a new stat that’s

Solely used for abilities speaking of we now got the Aeros shock wave W ability in our inventory as well as the Revitalize ability Aeros shock wave being the one we bought in the shop and Revitalize is the class ability of the Healer class so as you can see we’re

Missing quite a bit of Health now but if we use the Revitalize ability we can regenerate this and this heal effect is applied to every single player again that’s what makes it so great in multiplayer and as you can see on the Mana bar the Mana we have now slowly

Regenerates now as I said there’s not just class abilities there’s also normal abilities which can be used the exact same way and no there’s absolutely no cooldown on these abilities you can spam these as much as you want that being said Aeros shck wave is the cheapest

Ability of them all so you can’t really spam most of them that being said this ability is quite strong in the early game but is it the strongest I don’t know that’s for you to find out and I believe with that that’s all the explaining done you now know almost

Everything about this data pack there’s a few more changes but those are much more endgame which means that we need need a much stronger run than this so I’m going to give myself some skill points and we’ll take a look at an example for an endgame

Run as you can see we’re quite strong now all right then let’s go now as you can see we have quite a bit of Health also fully Enchanted netherite armor a netherite sword a pretty strong bow yeah the upper limit of how strong you can

Get is quite high but oh trust me it’s more than necessary you we’ll see in a second for now let’s just make this portal another Fortress right next to Bastian that’s pretty rare well let’s get in now I’m going to be brutally honest I don’t think these blazes stand a chance

Okay before we do anything else let’s talk about what just happened when we picked up the Blaze Rod a stronghold generated at those coordinates now these coordinates might seem absurd that’s actually just the spawn point for this run and if we dig straight down there we should now find a stronghold so don’t

Even bother using eyes ofender the way you normally would those will just lead you to a stronghold that’s several million blocks away okay but what if something like this happens you locked out of the world and now your entire chat is gone well in that case you can simply type SLT trigger stronghold

Location and it will just tell you where the stronghold is pretty handy command now the final step is to just take down the Ender Dragon is that it oh that’s it that’s it all right here we are now some of you might think that the Ender Dragon

Will be a complete pushover after all we’re insanely powerful right now but those of you who seen my last video will probably know where this is going here we are in the end and right now everything might seem the same oh let me tell you things are very different oh it

Already begins Yep this is not the normal Ender Dragon this is a much more powerful version of it as you can see oh my goodness that’s so loud this is a custom Ender Dragon boss fight I made for my last video and when I worked on

This data pack on roguecraft I knew that this fight would be perfect for it okay these Enderman are quite annoying let’s use explosion there we go okay here’s phase two the Ender Dragon now has a different pool of attacks as well as caged end crystals also there’s shers everywhere is that

The ball of death oh it sure is if you see this thing run oh there’s another one there another one go down go down oh no there’s a ball of death using vulnerable Shield this makes us Immortal for 10 seconds all right that was phase two

Phase three has you fight off against a few waves of enemies luckily we have Arrow shck wave which completely trivializes this oh look at that damage this is a very clean way to deal with these waves that being said the fourth wave is a bit more terrifying I think

Separating them is the best strategy here and then you just melee them because they actually have decreased attack I mean as you can see we’re not taking any damage right now that being said we do have a Wither to deal with now oh there you are how did you even

Get in here that’s probably the most confusing part well then Final Phase of the Ender Dragon it’s now going to use all of its attacks much more often which should result in absolute chaos soon oh and it can also spawn end crystals in the sky and it’s just going to get

Faster and faster come on Dragon there we go that was a clean hit hello Ender Dragon how it going oh my God that does so much damage what we almost just killed the Ender Dragon I think we skipped like two phases all right then I think that does it

Goodbye and that’s the Ender Dragon down now as for what happens after you defeat the Ender Dragon once again I’m going to leave that for you to find out after all I need to give you all the reason to play this data pack and believe me this

Data pack is a ton of fun at this point I’ve put over 3 months of walk into this and I think it’s safe to say that this is the best data pack I’ve ever made and hey if you know some other people who’ like to play this I highly encourage you

To play this in multiplayer I tried with some other people while testing and we had a blast now with all of this being said expect to see a few more videos on this data pack because I’m not done with this yet but for the time being that’s

All thank you so much for watching and until next time goodbye
