📜 About
Limitbreak is a challenging long-term roguelite datapack where every death makes you stronger. Face escalating waves of enemies, battle powerful bosses, and earn points to unlock stat boosts and rare items. Prepare during intermission periods, trade in the point shop, and claim loot from reward chests.
This datapack offers dozens of hours of challenging, replayable gameplay designed to push players to their limits. Expect very difficult encounters where full party wipes are not uncommon. It’s built for 2–6 players, and while solo play may be nearly impossible, the truly daring are welcome to try.
Note: This datapack is designed to have long-term runs, with a single run usually taking dozens of hours to complete over multiple sessions, and is not made to be played in one sitting (please dont).
*For the datapack to function correctly, it requires all players to be /op.

📖 Guide
This datapack may be confusing on paper, but it's pretty straightforward in-game.
-
Upon loading into the world you will spawn in the hub. Head onto the basement of the hub and stay in the 3x3 area to teleport and start a run.
-
Once you have been teleported to the overworld, prepare as best as you can before midnight as monster waves spawn at and after midnight.
-
Mobs spawned from waves will drop "Points", these can be consumed by right clicking.
-
Every 3 days a Point Shop to trade in points along with a reward chest will spawn in the world spawn.
-
Every 10th day a boss will spawn, beating it would drop custom loot and also set a checkpoint.
-
Intermission periods happen after beating a boss, and each lasts 7 days. No waves will spawn in this period and players are free to prepare for upcoming battles.
-
If everyone in the server dies / full party wipe, then it will rollback to the last checkpoint, player items and progression will not be rolled back.
-
Reach day 50 and beat the boss to finish a run, you can click on the message to return to the hub where you will obtain Credits based on your Points. Using these credits you can buy upgrades for yourself and others.
-
A couple of useful commands are
/trigger Gather_Pointto set a new world spawn and gathering point for waves,/trigger StatCheckto check your current stats in full, and/trigger EndRunto prematurely end a run and return to the hub.
Note: Some vanilla changes are present to balance the progression, these are things such as doInsomnia being false and player-created iron golems being insta-killed.
⚠️ Warning
I'm the only developer of this datapack and making datapacks is simply a hobby of mine, don't expect regular updates or ports. Currently there are plans to continue adding content, but no version updates or ports are in mind.
Right now this datapack is missing plenty of features, but most of the main features are already finished. Here's some planned content I have in mind:
- Custom modifiers unlocks.
- More classes.
- Perma-death.
- World upgrades & player upgrades.
- More bosses to go through (Only 5 currently so you will fight the same 5 every run).
- More mobs (low priority)
