Nox
by stormdirus2
Nox changes how hostile mobs behave and how hard they hit, and it is configured on the server.
What it does
Nox is a difficulty mod for Fabric and Quilt that reworks the mobs in a world. Its author describes it as a mob difficulty overhaul, drawing on ideas from other mods such as Rough Mobs 2 and Epic Siege Mod. The mod is server-side only: the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. Basic configuration is available, and the author plans more options.
Nox requires MidnightLib on both loaders, so that library has to be installed alongside it. Files are published for 1.18, 1.18.1, 1.18.2, 1.19, 1.19.1 and 1.19.2, with v2.4 for 1.19.2 as the latest build on both loaders, dated 2022-09-20. Snapshot builds have also been published. The code is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, so Nox is open source and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Mob difficulty changes
Hostile mobs are adjusted so that encounters in the world feel harder than vanilla, with the rules set by the mod.
Server-side operation
Only the server needs the mod, so players can join a Nox server with a vanilla client.
Basic configuration
Settings for the mob changes can be edited, and the author notes that further options are planned.
Public source code
The source code and issue tracker are public, so anyone can read how the changes are made.

Use cases
Survival servers
Server owners who want harder mob encounters for their players can install Nox on the server alone.
Adventure play
Solo players on a local world with a server running the mod can take on the adjusted mobs in exploration.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to change how hostile mobs behave are the main audience. Players who connect to such a server need no installation, and singleplayer use depends on running the mod on the local server side.
