Adaptive World
Adaptive World is a datapack/mod that makes the game harder the more you stay in one area
About this Mod
Reactive World (In open beta!)
A Minecraft datapack/mod that makes the world respond to player presence.
Reactive World introduces a per-chunk dominance system. The more time you spend in an area, the more influence you gain there. Chunks remember your activity and can dynamically react based on how established you are with events.
This turns your world from something static into something that evolves with you.
