Hope and despair · Survive the nights with your crew: Hope and Despair preinstalled, unlimited slots, DDoS protection, locations worldwide.
American ExpressAbout the modpack
Hope and Despair is a horror survival modpack for Minecraft: Java Edition, distributed on Modrinth and built as a remastered take on the popular "100 Days of Shock" idea. You and your friends scavenge, build defenses and try to stay alive together while the world turns against you. With your own server, that world keeps running for the whole group, and the pack is installed automatically when you order.
You decide how the run plays out: invite your crew, set operators and a whitelist, upload an existing world or adjust configs right in the panel. Give the pack RAM that fits your group, and add as many players as you like without paying per slot. Pick the location closest to your group from our data centers worldwide.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Price by package, term and location, never per player slot.
The price depends on the package, term and location you choose, not on the number of players. The package section on this page shows live prices straight from the shop, so you always see the current rate. Terms run from 3 to 365 days and you can cancel anytime; the cancellation takes effect at the end of your term.
At least 5 GB, with 8 GB recommended.
Hope and Despair needs at least 5 GB RAM. For a co-op run with friends we recommend 8 GB, which leaves headroom for world generation and several players exploring at once. If your group grows or the world gets large, you can switch to a bigger package later.
You don't have to: it installs automatically with your order.
When you order through this page, the latest release of Hope and Despair is installed together with a compatible server type. Once setup is done, you just start the server and invite your friends. Want to try a different pack later? You can switch it in the panel's Modpacks tab. Read the modpack guide
No, Hope and Despair is a Java Edition modpack.
Every player needs Minecraft: Java Edition with the same pack version installed, because Bedrock clients can't load Java mods. Compare Java and Bedrock
Same pack version, then connect with your server address.
Each friend installs the same version of Hope and Despair in a launcher such as the Modrinth App and starts the game. Then they add your server in multiplayer using the IP and port shown in your panel. Use the whitelist or player management to decide who gets in. How to connect to your server
Yes, with ZapX Pass you can buy a Lifetime server.
With ZapX Pass you can buy your server once as a Lifetime server instead of renting it term by term. That suits groups who want their Hope and Despair world to stay online for good. How many Lifetime servers you can hold depends on your ZapX Pass tier. Learn about ZapX Pass
Locations worldwide: pick the one closest to your players.
You choose the data center when you order. Pick the location nearest to most of your group for the best connection. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, and the full list covers locations worldwide.
Yes, DDoS protection is included with every server.
Every server runs behind our DDoS protection at no extra cost. That keeps your run online when the server address gets shared on a Discord server or in a wider community. In the panel's DDoS Manager you can follow detected attack activity.
