TCHY_DifficultyAdjustment

Several adjustments change how the base game plays and raise its difficulty. The most visible one is that each death reduces the player's maximum health. Enchanted golden apples can restore that lost maximum health, but never past the original value, unless the configuration file is edited to allow it. The mod also tracks the player's death count and prints the coordinates of each death in the chat box, so a player can return to where a loss happened.

Some additions work on the crafting and enchanting side. Soulbound enchantment books are added, and the Enchanting Table gains a Soul Binding option. Food is handled differently as well: the nutrition mechanism rewards eating many different foods, so a diet of a single item is less effective. Each of these features can be enabled or disabled separately in the configuration file.

The mod is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1, and it is needed on the client and on the server, so both sides must run it. The current build is 1.1.1-1.20.1, published on 2026-02-13, after the first release on 2026-02-07. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. A public issue tracker exists for reporting problems, and the author notes further debugging and development work to follow.
