CUTE Diffcult

Players befriend nine elemental kitsune blessings, each giving a different effect. Kasai melts ice and snow within a 6-block radius and makes its holder immune to fire. Mizu puts out fires and hydrates farmland, and keeps its holder from drowning. Mori speeds plant growth by 50 percent, Kaminari strikes random hostile mobs with lightning while granting immunity to lightning, and Kori freezes water into packed ice. Yurei teleports its holder periodically and grants immunity to magic wither. Tengoku drives off phantoms and weakens nearby hostiles. Daichi restores stone cobble and stops its holder from suffocating, and one blessing removes poison on its own.

The mod changes the difficulty in both directions. The author describes zombies as slow to reason, lets creepers be spotted from a long way off, and stops furnaces from exploding, while the world as a whole is meant to be harsher than vanilla. Each blessing is a separate choice, so a run can be built around the ones that suit the player's situation. The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is open source, and its source code is public. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, and the latest build is 1.2.0-beta for 1.21.1, released on the beta channel on 2026-06-03.
