After the 2.7 branch the quality went down the drain and has not recovered since. Placeholder galore, bugfixes maybe every few years assuming there is even any intent to fix them to begin with (fex: All the bugs related to alcohol brewing ect) That the dev team has chosen to pretend to not see reports/images about. And there are so many bugs now… Polished/functional systems are non-existent and if any happens to slip through it gets re-worked into a placeholders or outright removed.

Technical things aside the pack just feels like it’s in middle of identity crisis. Ever since replacing Invasions with Onslaught (and later Hordes) it feels like pack is trying to re-invent itself, most likely to be more like RLCraft, which is unfortunate. Music is mostly miss, textures are mostly fine but some custom items such as blood vessel (lazy peoples version of mysterious vessel) look too low quality even for Minecraft.

“Progress” feels really arbitrary chase for bosses.

Rebirth of the Night is a survival-focused Minecraft modpack that emphasizes deliberate, rewarding progression in a hostile and immersive world. Unlike most modpacks that hand you tools and freedom up front, RoTN forces you to claw your way forward. Progression is tightly controlled—dimensions, high-tier gear, and key resources are all boss-gated or locked behind specific milestones. Every achievement feels earned, not given.

One of its standout features is the game’s dynamic escalation: the world reacts to you. Mob AI is significantly improved—enemies flank, break blocks, and behave with unnerving cunning. As if that weren’t enough, every 9 or so in-game days, full-scale mob hordes descend upon you. These events ratchet up the tension and keep you from ever feeling safe, even in your own base.

Balancing is sharp: food, light, and shelter are strategic concerns, not afterthoughts. The game encourages planning, exploration, and caution over brute force. However, some long-standing issues remain, such as the ToroQuest mod’s king quests being bugged and unfinishable. It’s understandable—RoTN’s devs didn’t create that mod and fixing it would be a challenge—but it’s still a persistent blemish on an otherwise polished and deeply engaging experience.

For players looking for progression-driven survival with teeth, Rebirth of the Night is one of the most compelling and punishingly satisfying modpacks out there.

so i was just randomly scrolling throught curseforge modpacks and stumbled onto Rebirth of the Night and let me tell you i couldnt come back.

I love this modpack so much,the ambiance and the soundtrack fits so good with the game.

The modpack sure is challenging but rewarding and i always loved the fact they made the caves have a way horror ambiance and fell than any other modpack.

I guess the only bad thing about this is the performance and stability,i havent saw a lot of bugs and even if i saw they’re only insignificant but it can be a bit laggy sometimes.

With new combat system, this modpack is definitely great to play along with your friends, though it’s pretty hard to fight the hordes in very begin of the game. However, the performance is a little unstable

you can see the developers of the modpack is really worked hard for this in every aspect of the modpack and that worked flawlessly. Absolute banger of a pack if you want some challange and like the base defense.

To say that this is a modpack is honestly an understatement, this plays and feels like a whole new game. Completely custom aesthetics, progression, difficulty, and much more. However, not all the aspects of this new game are perfect. The difficulty and tedium of death, even though its meant to be not much of an inconvenience- is excruciatingly annoying. The most prevalent of these examples would be how it’s’ ‘grave’ system works. It uses Quark’s totem of holding system- but set to the Dark Souls mode. Basically, after you’ve died once, your last totem will be destroyed. So if you’re ever caught in a death loop due to something tedious or annoying (cough cough GOBLIN SCAVENGERS) all of your items are as good as gone. Another issue is its Onslaughts, though its a problem they’ve already addressed, the mod just… don’t work. Mobs wont spawn, they’ll spawn in stupid places, they won’t end and the progress bar will just continue on past its endpoint, ect ect ect… Also the load times though no fault of the developer are kinda brutal. (Then again I’m used to more modern packs that have very few small load times soooo zoomer brain I suppose lmao)

TL:DR Great pack but not without its flaws, has potential to become amazing.
