☠️ Location based difficulty

Location based difficulty, based on either one of these:

  • dimension
  • biome (id/regex/tag)
  • structure (id/regex/tag)

Various difficulty types, defaults include:

  • Adventure (increasing mob attributes: max HP, damage, armor)
  • Dungeon (same as Adventure + increasing power of looted items)
  • Heroic (same as Dungeon, with different name to indicate boss fight)

Some example mobs:

🗡️ Loot scaling

Matching the location specific difficulty, items are scaled up:

  • Indicated as "Power Level" on the item tooltips
  • Predefined attributes (such as attack damage, max health) get added or increased
  • Works on defined items and attributes (vanilla and modded)
    ‌- Reworked item rarity (enchanted items are Uncommon, scaled up items are Uncommon, enchanted + scaled up items are Rare)

This mechanic motivates players for exploration and dungeoneering instead of base camping and crafting.


👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Per player difficulty

Additional players in a multiplayer game, silently increase the difficulty.

🔧 Fully configurable

This mod has a very flexible configuration, that uses id/regex/tag based matching, allowing

  • any combination of dimension, biome and structure to define difficulty
  • custom difficulty types to be added
  • any attributes to be scaled on looted items (vanilla and mod attributes)

For more details check out the project readme.
