Apocalypse Rebooted

Mobs spawn with stronger stats, equipment and potion effects as the difficulty of the nearest player rises. Each mob type can be set to start spawning only once a chosen difficulty is reached. Rare ancient mobs appear as named, tougher enemies that drop powerfully enchanted items. Full moons summon unique siege monsters that break through defenses, and sleeping during the night moves the difficulty up twice in a single night.

The mod requires Crust, and Just Enough Items (JEI) and RyoamicLights are optional. Players see the difficulty through in-game effects, and some events such as occasional acid rain and mobs that destroy blocks with an unlimited aggro range add further pressure. A grace period keeps difficulty at 0 at the start of a world, and the default setting covers one full Minecraft day. Server owners can set each player's difficulty with the apocalypse difficulty command, which works only for online players, or disable the features in the config.

Apocalypse Rebooted is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. It is published for Forge across three release versions: 1.16.5, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, where the latest file is 1.20.1-3.10.9-r. Both the server and every player need it, so the environment is client and server. Apocalypse Minimap Hud requires it.
