RpgDifficulty
by Globox1997
With RpgDifficulty, mobs grow stronger the farther a player travels from spawn and the longer a world runs, raising their health and damage.
What it does
Mob health and damage rise as a function of distance and elapsed time, so encounters scale with how far and how long a player has played. The scaling is configurable, and the mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, with 1.4.2+1.21.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. Cloth Config API and Fabric API are required.
Key features
Distance-based scaling
Mobs gain health and damage the further they spawn from the world origin.
Time-based scaling
Mob strength also increases as the world ages, adding pressure over long play sessions.
Configurable values
Scaling rates and limits can be adjusted through the mod's configuration options.
Compatibility
