Scaling Mob Difficulty Mod pour Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.16.5

Scaling Mob Difficulty is a simple utility mod that adds extra challenge to the game by gradually increasing the difficulty of hostile mobs. As time passes, hostile mobs' health, damage, and movement speed, and armor-piercing capabilities will slowly increase, pushing the player to progress. Useful for modpacks to prevent stagnation!

Configs

The mechanics of the mod are fully configurable via the config file in config/scaling_mobs/main.toml.

List of config settings:

• Scaling speed: Change the global rate at which mobs' stats scale.
• Health: Change how mobs' health increases
• Damage: Change how mobs' attack damage increases
• Speed: Change how mobs' movement speed increases
• Armor Piercing: Change how much of mobs' attack damage bypasses armor
• Drops: Increase the loot dropped by mobs when they're killed over time
• Exponential scaling: make mobs' stats scale exponentially with time.
• Delay mob burning: Prevent hostile undead mobs from burning until a certain Minecraft day has passed
• Whitelist/Blacklist: Explicitly add or remove certain entities from the list of mobs that scale

Datapacks

Scaling Mobs also adds some features which are configurable via datapacks (JSON).
