What it does

A Sculk Catalyst can be crafted from vanilla materials with a simple recipe, and its main goal is to help balance a modpack by lowering the levels of mobs in its range. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.4. Hostile Mobs Improve Over Time is an optional dependency. Released under the MIT License, the code is open source, and the mod is client and server: the server and every player need it.

Key features

  1. Craftable catalyst block

    The Sculk Catalyst block is added with a crafting recipe that uses only vanilla items, keeping the cost low.

  2. Mob level reduction

    Mobs near an active catalyst have their levels decreased, which is the mod's main function.

  3. Modpack balancing

    The block is aimed at evening out difficulty in modpacks that include many hostile mobs.

What the author says

This mod is to add a crafting recipe to the Sculk Catalyst block. To most this may be useless. It uses vanilla items and isn't too expensive to craft. The main goal is to help balance out my modpack
