Scaling Mobs
by coathier
Scaling Mobs changes how hostile mobs are strengthened as a world ages, with the scaling set on the server.
What it does
Scaling Mobs adjusts hostile mob attributes over time. Server owners configure which mobs are affected, how strength grows with days passed, moon cycle, distance from spawn, dimension or height under sea level. Growth can be linear or exponential, or held constant, and the options can be limited to nights or to specific days of a 7-day cycle. The mod needs Fabric API and runs on Fabric 1.20.1 – 1.21.10 builds, with the latest file 2.1.0 for 1.21.10. It is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.
