Ultra Hard Mode

Players who have grown bored of vanilla difficulty can use the mod to raise the challenge. Monsters deal more damage, have more defence and move faster when attacking. Creepers have a forty percent chance to spawn charged, and monsters no longer stop burning when they enter lava after two seconds. Players catch fire for five seconds when they enter the Nether.

The mod also reworks recovery and gear. Killing the Wither, the Warden or the Ender Dragon no longer restores full health, and the Wither regenerates more often than usual. Players respawn with only 9 HP, and at low health they gain hunger, poison and blindness. Food saturation is reduced except for golden carrots, a golden carrot is removed from the inventory less often, and beds cannot be placed in the End. Peaceful difficulty is set back to Hard automatically, and it is disabled once players are killed.

Ultra Hard Mode runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions 1.19.2 – 26.1.2, and the code is all rights reserved, so it is not open source. The latest Forge file is 1.13 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file is 1.13 for 26.1.2.
