Minecraft's heroes are pulled into White Knuckle, and they climb by Minecraft's rules: crafting, tools that bite into the walls, armor, emeralds instead of roaches. Somewhere above, Herobrine is waiting.

How to play

On White Knuckle's main menu, click the spinning grass block in the top right corner. It opens the Herobrine Not Removed menu, with its own worlds, characters, achievements and legend. Pick a character, start a New World, and climb.

Features

• 16 characters, each with their own starting items, hands, effects and difficulty. Most start locked, some are hidden, and some have a twisted side.
• Dungeons: space-time fractures break open the walls of the climb, and each one leads down into its own mine, made new every run, seen from above and played by Minecraft's rules. Dig for coal, iron, copper, gold and diamonds, smelt them in furnaces, and fight the zombies, skeletons, creepers, spiders, piglins and worse that live down there. Your health and hunger come with you: dying in a dungeon ends your climb too.
• Your own island: every character has a home base of their own, kept from run to run.
• Building: in the dungeons and on your island, break and place blocks as in Minecraft: stone, planks, stairs, slabs, fences, gates, doors, trapdoors, signs, chests, furnaces and more. Flint and Steel lights fires, and buckets carry water and lava.
• Relics: before each new run, take one relic with you, or none. More are won through achievements.
• Minecraft crafting: the inventory, the 2x2 grid, the crafting table's 3x3 and the stonecutter, with over 240 recipes, plus smelting. Supplies you find in the climb become materials.
• Hundreds of Minecraft items and blocks: pickaxes, swords, axes, shovels, hoes, spears, tridents, armor and shields, in wood, stone, copper, iron, gold, diamond and netherite. Pickaxes and hoes bite into walls and hold you; spears can be thrown and stick.
• Attack cooldown as in Minecraft's Combat Update: each hand has its own, with Minecraft's attack speed for every weapon and tool.
• The Survival Guide: a book with every recipe and how each tool works.
• Smithing: the Netherite Upgrade turns diamond gear into netherite.
• Enchanting: enchanted books, Rho's altar and six enchantments (Unbreaking, Sharpness, Haste, Strong Hold, Loyalty and Aiding Runes), with Minecraft's glint, and cursed books that bind what they touch to the run.
• The Ender Chest: three slots of your own that carry items from one run to the next.
• Respawn Anchors: set one at a computer, and when you die you come back there, keeping your bound items, artifacts and key items.
• Ender Pearls and Firework Rockets: a pearl that teleports you, and rockets that carry you wherever you look.
• Emeralds: the currency of this world. Vending machines sell Minecraft materials for them, perk machines offer materials instead of perks, and the recycler pays in emeralds.
• Health and hunger as in Minecraft, with status effects.
• 33 achievements, many of them secret.
• Herobrine, and a fight with him in the Void. Accept Rho's trade, or refuse it and face him your own way.
• Bosses: Herobrine is not the only thing waiting at the top.
• A Minecraft Game Menu: pause with Options, Save and Quit to Title in safe rooms, and Continue on the title screen.
• And more, waiting to be found.

Installation

Install with a mod manager (r2modman or the Thunderstore Mod Manager). The only dependency is BepInExPack.

Manual install: copy everything inside this package's plugins folder (HerobrineNotRemoved.dll and the assets folder) into BepInEx/plugins/HerobrineNotRemoved/.

Notes

• Your progress (characters, achievements, emerald bank, Ender Chest) is saved in BepInEx/config/HerobrineNotRemoved/hnr.json, apart from the mod's own files, so updating or reinstalling the mod keeps it. With a mod manager, each profile has its own.
• Steam achievements: White Knuckle's own achievements still unlock in normal runs with the mod installed. They are only held back while you play the mod's game mode (one of its characters).
• This is a fan-made mod. It is not affiliated with Mojang, Microsoft or Dark Machine Games.
