What it does

Hostile mobs detect players from a greater distance and move faster once they have a target. Passive mobs such as cows, chickens and sheep can fight back after a player kills one of their kind. Zombies can place and break blocks, and the bed no longer skips the night. Jockey encounters appear more often, with more jockey types, and mobs can travel across the ocean riding boats, which then chase players.

The mod targets players who find vanilla Minecraft too mild, and it includes settings for new mini bosses and nearly 40 modifiers that adjust the difficulty. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and runs on servers through Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur and data packs. Installation needs FokusAPI and Reactify. The server is required, while the client may stay without the mod. Files cover 1.16 – 26.2, with 6.9.8 for 26.2 as the latest build.

Questions

Does Brutal Nightmare need Reactify?

Yes. Reactify is a required dependency, and FokusAPI is required too. Both must be installed for the mod to load.

Does the client need Brutal Nightmare to join a server?

No. Only the server has to run the mod, and players may join without it.

Can the difficulty be changed after installation?

Yes. The modifiers and mini bosses are configurable, and the optional Brutal Nightmare Config Integration mod can be added for the settings.
