JLFork Powerscale Bridge
by Bilbyss
JLFork Powerscale Bridge links JustLeveling Fork's Strength aptitude to Silent's Power Scale, so a player's Strength sets the difficulty of nearby mobs.
What it does
Power Scale normally sets local difficulty from the terrain and the time a player has spent in an area. This bridge listens for Power Scale's SetMobDifficultyEvent, finds the nearest non-spectator player and reads that player's Strength aptitude from JustLeveling Fork. The Strength value then replaces the normal local difficulty. A Strength of 1 gives a Power Scale difficulty of 0 and power level 1, a Strength of 2 gives difficulty 1 and power level 2, a Strength of 10 gives difficulty 9 and power level 10, and a Strength of 25 gives difficulty 24 and power level 25, matching Power Scale's own formula.
Power Scale's periodic recalculation runs after the event fires and would undo the change. The strength multiplier is set to 1, the minimum difficulty to 0 and the maximum to 100, and the reapply tick is enabled.
Installation needs both JustLeveling Fork and Silent's Power Scale. The bridge runs on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1 and is needed on the client and the server. It is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Strength-based difficulty
Mobs near a player take their difficulty from that player's JustLeveling Fork Strength aptitude instead of the default local value.
Reapplied after Power Scale's tick
The difficulty is set again on every entity tick at the lowest priority, so Power Scale's periodic recalculation does not override it.
Configurable limits
A strength multiplier and minimum and maximum difficulty bounds can be adjusted to tune how strongly Strength affects mobs.
Entity-group clamps still apply
Power Scale's per-group minimum and maximum limits still hold, so a boss or hostile group with a lower configured cap keeps that cap.

What the author says
The bridge listens for Power Scale's SetMobDifficultyEvent, reads the nearest non-spectator player in the mob's dimension, obtains that player's JLFork Strength aptitude, and replaces Power Scale's normal local difficulty with a Strength-derived difficulty. Strength 1 -> Power Scale difficulty 0 -> Power Scale power…
