Halo and Minecraft combined into one? Sign me up! Halo Rogue is a new fan-made modpack for Minecraft Java Edition (not Bedrock Edition) that transforms the game into a Halo-inspired survival minigame.

Little fun fact about me, I actually used to stream Minecraft way back in the day, and Halo is still one of my all-time favorite franchises. Despite the past decade largely failing to meet my expectations, at least compared to the Bungie era, I still have a soft spot for the series.

I’ll explain exactly what this modpack does. Halo Rogue spawns players in with a preset loadout and just three lives, with each in-game day granting an extra life. If all lives are lost, your run restarts from the beginning, with the main objective being to survive for five days while exploring a world inspired by iconic Halo structures, alongside weapons and enemies like the Covenant and the Flood.

The modpack also changes Minecraft’s gameplay quite drastically. You’re not simply thrown in as a standard Minecraft character; instead, you’re equipped with Master Chief’s iconic Mjolnir armor.

Halo Rogue also features more than 30 Halo weapons, alongside several Halo-themed mods, and can be installed through CurseForge, a popular modding platform used across a wide range of games. However, you will need to import the modpack to CurseForge, so please keep that in mind.

I actually think this is pretty cool, and I’m always a fan of seeing new things done with Halo, even if this is a community project built within Minecraft. Without rambling too much about my own thoughts, let me know what you think about Halo Rogue.
