Monster Levels
Monster Levels gives hostile mobs a level, so higher-level spawns are stronger than the ones players meet at the start of a world.
What it does
Each mob that spawns can carry a level, and a higher level makes that mob stronger. The level also changes what the player faces, since levels raise the strength of enemies that spawn near a player who has already progressed. Items can raise or lower a level, and some of them are crafted from a block the mod adds, which players find in the recipe book once they enter a world. Both the server and every player need the mod, because it runs on client and server. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.20.4, under the Apache License 2.0, which is not open source.
