Scales Epic Fight attributes for mobs to match player's progression.
About this Mod
⚔️ Epic Fight: Progressive Difficulty
EF Progressive Difficulty is a lightweight Forge mod tailored for the Epic Fight Mod. It addresses a common late-game issue: combat becomes far too easy. In the later stages of a playthrough, players can effortlessly defeat basic monsters using only simple basic attacks, completely ignoring mechanics like dodging or weapon skills. This lack of challenge quickly leads to boredom.
To fix this, the mod introduces a Dynamic Area Difficulty system. Mobs dynamically scale their Epic Fight attributes based on the progression of the players around them, ensuring that combat remains just as engaging, strategic, and exciting as it was on day one.
"Make late-game combat feel like a real challenge again."
✨ Key Features
📈 Dynamic Area Difficulty & Player Progression
Difficulty is no longer tied to server up-time. Instead, each player has their own progression score. When a mob spawns, it checks the average difficulty of all players nearby. The higher the players' scores, the tougher the mob becomes!
It buffs the following Epic Fight Attributes:
- 💥 Impact: Enemies hit harder and break your guard faster.
- ⚖️ Weight: Enemies become heavier and harder to knock back (prevents stun-locking bosses).
- 🛡️ Stun Armor: Enemies are more resistant to being stunned by your attacks.
- ⚔️ Armor Negation: Enemy attacks penetrate your armor more effectively.
- 🔄 Max Strikes: Enemies can chain more attacks together.
🖥️ Difficulty HUD
Keep track of your current progression with a sleek, built-in visual HUD.
- Press
H(Default Keybind) to toggle the Difficulty Bar on or off.



⚙️ Fully Configurable
You have total control via config/efprogressivediff-common.toml.
- Event Triggers: Customize how much difficulty is gained or lost through various actions (killing mobs, waking up, dimension multipliers).
- Multipliers & Base Values: Adjust the starting baseline and the scaling speed for each specific Epic Fight attribute.
🛡️ Stable & Optimized
- Lag-Free: Logic only runs on server-side tick updates.
🧮 How it Works
The mod applies a bonus to mob attributes using this formula:
FinalValue = OriginalValue + Bonus
Where Bonus is calculated as:
Bonus = BaseValue * (1 + Multiplier * AreaDifficulty)
Area Difficulty is calculated by multiplying the average player difficulty by various modifiers configured in the settings.
🛠️ Commands
The mod provides a set of admin commands (Requires Permission Level 2) to easily monitor and test the difficulty system.
