Beforecraft puts you in the role of a commander and king caught in a never-ending conflict with other factions. RPG elements are at the heart of this addon. But instead of focusing solely on developing your character, you also need to grow your settlement and strengthen your faction. Beforecraft specializes in large-scale combat involving dozens of warriors, archers, cavalry units, and siege weapons.

It's All About Resource Management
Resources are the foundation of every powerful army. This mod provides you with the means to build structures such as Farms and Lumbermills and hire workers to automate resource production. To do so, approach the Master Builder NPC and purchase blueprints. The accumulated resources can then be spent on upgrading building efficiency through Upgrade Blueprints and hiring more troops. This is the basic gameplay loop of Beforecraft.

Faction Rivalry
Your affiliation with a faction is indicated by the ribbon you wear. As the leader of a faction, you will face raids by other factions on your lands. If you don't want to fight all the time, you can opt for diplomacy and negotiate a truce. However, not every faction can be bargained with. The Bandits are a hostile faction that will keep attacking you no matter what. There's also a fun mechanic that allows you to join the Bandits, which will make every other faction attack you.
Faction Leaders
At the helm of every faction is a powerful leader. To conquer a faction, you need to take down its leader. Fighting them is hard, believe me, I've tried. And even when you've painfully depleted their HP bar, you still need to be quick enough to jump in and finish them off before they get back up.
Unique Armors and Weapons
Needless to say, Beforecraft features unique armor sets that you can collect throughout the game. Most of them have a medieval aesthetic and are inspired by different cultures and nations, such as the Samurai set or classic European plate armor.
New weapons offer opportunities for different playstyles. Daggers are great for dynamic combat, katanas for precision strikes, and muskets for long-range encounters.
For me, Beforecraft captures everything I love about Minecraft Bedrock combat and pushes it up a notch.
