More difficult monsters(сonfiguration support)
by Solid1Goose
Players who want harder fights in Minecraft can use More difficult monsters(сonfiguration support), which changes how vanilla mobs spawn, equip and behave in battle.
What it does
The mod changes several monster-related mechanics. New elite variants of Creeper, Zombie, Skeleton and Wither Skeleton appear, and cave spiders and other mobs spawn in more places around the world. The number of mobs grows as the difficulty setting rises, and mobs gain better armor and weapons along with it. A chance is also given for mobs to receive new abilities such as extra speed or invisibility.
Some effects are balanced to offset the added strength. A rider on a spider loses its intelligence, and certain mobs, such as the desert skeleton, are weakened for a period of time. The mod also alters shield behavior and how mobs react in combat, so the fights are reworked rather than simply made harder.
The difficulty is set with a value between 0.5 and 100.0, and a value from 1 to 10 is recommended for a constant challenge. The settings window opens through the command moreDifficultMonstersConfig or through a configuration menu in the game, and the older setDifficulty command is outdated. The mod is open source under the MIT License.
