You can change it in the options. - hard difficulty can be really challenging (easy difficulty is vanilla like level). - modify mobs fiew seconds after spawn. Lagless, tested on multiplayer. - craft a Totem of Weakness to secure your bases and your mob farms. - last added mobs : Zombified Piglins and Wither Skeletons. - compatibility with many others popular mob datapacks. - 300+ of configurable parameters in the ingame options menu (patreon version). ## Totem of Weakness Craft and lit the Totem of Weakness to create a safe area.
