About this project

What does Lycancraft add?

Lycancraft Default

Lycancraft gives players the chance to become a Lycanthrope — a powerful beast caught between human and wolf. Enhanced strength, speed, and hunting instincts can make you a formidable survivor, but every gift comes with a cost.

As the saying goes:

"With great power comes great responsibility."

A Lycanthrope's life is not an easy one. While you may gain incredible physical abilities and unique interactions with the world around you, you'll also face harsh limitations that force you to adapt your playstyle. Whether you embrace the curse or struggle against it, every transformation changes the way you survive.

Will you master the beast within, or will its burdens outweigh its power?


Features

Become a Lycanthrope

  • Gain the chance to contract Lycanthropy during gameplay.
  • Experience a unique survival challenge centered around power and sacrifice.

Enhanced Physical Abilities

  • Increased movement speed.
  • Increased attack damage.
  • Become a dangerous predator capable of overwhelming many foes.

Wolf Kinship

  • Lycanthropes can breed with wolves.
  • Strengthen your connection with the wild and build your own pack.

Predator Instincts

Neutralizing certain creatures empowers your Lycanthrope nature:

  • Sheep
  • Skeletons
  • Foxes

Successful hunts provide additional boosts to your power.


Consequences

Power comes at a steep price.

Difficult Crafting

  • Everyday crafting becomes more challenging.
  • Your transformed nature makes delicate work harder than normal.

No Armor

  • Lycanthropes cannot wear armor.
  • Survive through strength and agility rather than protection.

Reduced Health

  • Lower overall health compared to a normal player.
  • Reckless combat can quickly become fatal.

An Unusual Appearance

  • Your altered form makes you stand out from ordinary humans.
  • Living as a beast means accepting that you'll never quite fit in.

Strength. Speed. Instinct. Sacrifice.
The curse grants power—but only to those willing to bear its consequences.
