About this Mod

Veteran Difficulty

Designed for long-term players who think Minecraft is too easy. I made this mod for my own survival world and decided to publish it. It targets systems that fundamentally break the long-term fun of the game.

Current Features

One-Time Bed Spawn

  • Beds only set spawn once for the entire server.
  • The first successful bed use sets world spawn instead of a personal respawn point.
  • After that, beds no longer change spawn points.
  • Players only see the bed warning message while that one use is still available.

Dynamic Villager Trade Rerolls

  • When a villager trade is exhausted, it is replaced with another random trade from the same profession and tier.
  • This uses the live villager trade pool, so modded professions and modded trade additions are supported.
  • The reroll avoids repeating the same offer when possible.

Undead Combat Changes

  • Zombies move at double speed.
  • Zombie hits apply Slowness for 5 seconds.
  • Skeleton hits apply Weakness for 5 seconds.

Compatibility

  • Minecraft 1.21
  • NeoForge
  • Server and singleplayer supported

Veteran Difficulty server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Veteran Difficulty – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Veteran Difficulty consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
