Progressive Time Difficulty

Version 1.1.5

Date: 02/03/2026

General Difficulty Rebalance:

• Health Scaling: Reduced the health multiplier slightly (from x1.2 to x1.0 per factor). Mobs will still be tough, but less spongy.
• Hardcore Damage: Reduced the hardcore damage multiplier from x2.5 to x2.0. It's still brutal, but less likely to one-shot full netherite players instantly.
• Armor Scaling: Reduced the amount of armor mobs gain from difficulty scaling (Divisor increased from 8.0 to 10.0).

Creeper Exclusion:

• No More Buffed Creepers: Creepers are now explicitly excluded from all difficulty buffs (Health, Damage, Armor).
  • Reason: This ensures compatibility with mods that modify Creeper explosions (like Creeper Insta Boom) and prevents unfair one-shot mechanics when combined with other mods.
  • Any existing buffs on Creepers will be automatically removed.

Previous Changes (v1.1.4):

• Attribute Rebalance: Reduced knockback resistance and increased boss damage.
• Armor Protection: Implemented a hybrid damage system to prevent armor from breaking instantly against high-damage mobs.
• Mod Support: Added explicit boss detection for many popular mods (Mowzie's Mobs, Cataclysm, Twilight Forest, etc.).
