Breached

Breached

Breached is a competitive Minecraft survival mod inspired by Rust, focused on looting, PvP, raiding, and base-building. It keeps much of Minecraft’s core survival identity, but adds unique systems that push players into a smaller, more dangerous world where every mechanic matters, every resource counts, and conflict is never far away.

Custom structures are spread across the world as valuable loot locations and natural PvP hotspots. Progression is tiered, meaning better gear and crafting options come from engaging with the world, taking risks, and controlling key resources instead of simply mining safely underground.

Bases can be protected, but they are never completely safe. Players use Landlock Blocks to claim and defend a limited base area, while reinforced blocks let defenders spend resources to make important parts of their base harder to break into. Raiders use special pickaxe-like tools called Breachers to break through protected and reinforced blocks.

Breached is designed especially for short server seasons, where every structure run, fight, upgrade, defense, and raid can meaningfully change the course of the wipe.

Key Features and Mechanics

Tiered Crafting Progression

Breached introduces three new crafting tables: Iron, Diamond, and Netherite.

Each crafting table tier is required to craft armor, weapons, and tools of that level. Some other items are also gated behind higher-tier crafting tables, including bows, crossbows, potions, anvils, enchanting tables, and more.

Landlock Base Protection

Landlock Blocks allow players to claim and protect a 3D area around their base.

Other players can right-click a Landlock to authorize themselves, allowing them to interact normally with the claimed area. Non-authorized players cannot place blocks or interact with most protected blocks, with the exception of opening chests and breaching blocks with a Breacher.

Breachers

Breachers are the tools used to breach, or raid, enemy bases.

There are three tiers:

• Iron Breacher
• Diamond Breacher
• Netherite Breacher

Each tier is significantly stronger than the last, but also much harder to obtain. Iron Breachers have 64 durability, while Netherite Breachers have 1024 durability.

Reinforcements

Players can reinforce blocks by holding a reinforcement material in their offhand and a Reinforcer in their main hand, then right-clicking the target block.

There are four levels of reinforcement:

• Wood
• Iron
• Diamond
• Netherite

Each reinforcement tier is balanced against its Breacher counterpart. Iron reinforcements consume an entire Iron Breacher, Diamond reinforcements consume an entire Diamond Breacher, and Netherite reinforcements consume half of a Netherite Breacher.

Upkeep and Decay

Landlocks require upkeep materials to keep their defenses strong.

If a Landlock does not have the materials necessary to stay protected, the base becomes decayed, making it much easier for enemies to breach. Non-reinforced blocks inside a decayed base can be broken normally, and reinforced blocks consume half their regular Breacher durability.

Structure-Based Progression

Breached POIs are a major source of loot and progression.

They contain various levels of loot:

• Chests and barrels contain Tier 1 loot.
• Colored shulker boxes contain Tier 2 loot.
• Black and white shulker boxes contain Tier 3 loot.

POIs restock at different times, creating valuable objectives and frequent opportunities for PvP encounters.

Limited Dimension Access

The Overworld is limited to a 1000x1000 space.

The Nether and End are only open periodically when loot restocks at their POIs. Players cannot enter the Nether on their own and must use one of the two Breached Nether portals.
