Chaos Core

This mod is for long-time hard-core users that want to challenge themselves even further. Or a balancer for mod packs that offer super armor/weapons where normal hostiles aren't nearly a match. Anyone fancy OP survival? This pack was not designed to be 'cursed' or to make survival impossible. But it will test your skills. Chaos Core was created with faithfulness to vanilla in mind. A great deal of effort was made to keep it in line with the vanilla feel. It's air-tight.

### Main Features The mod gets harder as you progress with difficulty tiers. This list features most of the hardships you'll face on maximum difficulty.

Mobs spawn with non-drop armor, weapons, and sometimes totems (often enchanted) Mobs spawn with potion effects by chance Mobs can spawn riding other mobs like spiders, phantoms, dolphins, and even turtles More baby zombies More chicken jockeys Increased hostile spawns Zombie/Husk/Z-Pig Generals (Full netherite, diamond or iron armor) They wield two totems; no weapons Mobs that can pick up loot will always pickup loot Deadlier (but fair) creepers/ghasts Blood moon event that heightens spawns heavily (all difficulties) Zombie horse spawns during rain & thunder (Untamable, they die with their rider, details below) Unload the mod with a single command that removes all traces of Chaos Core (/function chaos:unload\_world)

When the difficulty changes, you will be notified.

Auto difficulty is the default setting and will adjust the difficulty of the mod by your advancements. Based on a points/score system. Get iron? +1 score. Get diamond? +1 score. Get armor? +1 score. Fully diamond? +2 score. Fully netherite? +6 score. Defeated the ender dragon? +8 score. Etc, etc.

The maximum score anyone can have will be 86. The worlds difficulty will pull from the highest scoring player online.

So how hard does this mod make Minecraft? For the hardest difficulty, most mobs that can wear armor are given a 75% chance to equip a completely randomized set of armor if they are hardened. Sometimes with enchants. A 35% chance to be given a weapon, with weapons/tools that deal more damage. More lethal tools are rarer. The rarity scales with chance. So, you won't encounter full netherite zombies without lots of luck. However, since zombie pigmen already spawn with a weapon, their damage can only increase. To keep that vanilla feel, they can't downgrade to a weapon/tool that's inferior to what their holding. Same with wither skeletons. Also, wither skeletons have a chance to spawn with a bow instead of sword. Likewise, skeletons can also spawn with a weapon/tool instead of a bow.

All mobs that are given armor will NOT drop their equipment unless they already had vanilla equipment. Your chances at getting gear from these mobs are no greater than normal. So don't expect a free diamond tool.

Most hostile mobs have various chances to be granted potion effects such as speed, resistance, absorption, strength, water breathing, dolphins grace, slow falling, and invisibility. Each effect has their own fair chance of activating, so you could have a multi-buffed mob on your hands.

Common hostile mobs have a small chance to bring in more reinforcements. For example, two zombies can spawn instead of one. This includes raiders like pillagers. So have fun with that. Each spider has a chance to spawn with a cave spider accompanying it. Sometimes even riding on the spider. You might find other mobs riding spiders. Or you might be unfortunate to find a skeleton riding a phantom. Some drowned may be riding a dolphin or a turtle. Drowned also have a slightly increased chance at spawning with a trident when riding a dolphin, although they can't drop that trident unless they already had one equipped.

While creepers can't spawn with effects (this is because when they detonate, they would drop lingering potions of whatever they had; not vanilla), they could have a shorter, less powerful blast. Or a longer, more powerful blast. Theres also a small chance that their fuse is slightly shortened without lowering the blast yield. They have a small chance to spawn super charged. Also, they can ride phantoms too. They dismount right when the phantom swoops down. Those rider-creepers have less powerful
