Crystal Leveling

!(https://media.forgecdn.net/attachments/description/null/description_b5fdbbf5-73b5-4751-b0d9-2c35df044c46.png) When a entity spawns or joins the world, this mod dynamically assigns it a **random “difficulty level” from 1 to 100** and then **buffs its stats based on that level**. The mob’s display name is then appended with a colored crystal icon that serves as a visual tier/rarity indicator of how tough it is. So players will encounter mobs with increased: * Max health * Attack damage * Armor * Armor toughness Scaled by that random difficulty level. Their name gets a suffix icon with a color code representing how high the difficulty is (e.g., **<span style="color: #2dc26b;">green</span>** for low, **<span style="color: #2dc26b;">c<span style="color: #f1c40f;">o</span><span style="color: #e03e2d;">lo<span style="color: #b96ad9;">r</span></span><span style="color: #b96ad9;">f</span><span style="color: #236fa1;">ul</span> </span>** for top tier), making it easy to spot stronger-than-normal mobs at a glance.

Other mods can **read that attribute and branch logic** (e.g., custom drops, loot tiers, effects) based on its value. ```java @Mod.EventBusSubscriber public class CustomDropOnDeathWithTiers { @SubscribeEvent public static void onLivingDeath(net.minecraftforge.event.entity.living.LivingDeathEvent event) { LivingEntity entity = event.getEntityLiving(); if (entity == null) return; // Read difficulty level (default to 0 if missing) double difficulty = 0; if (entity.getAttributes().hasAttribute(CrystalLevelingModAttributes.DIFFICULTY_LEVEL.get())) { difficulty = entity.getAttribute(CrystalLevelingModAttributes.DIFFICULTY_LEVEL.get()).getBaseValue(); } // Determine tier and give corresponding drop if (difficulty >= 81) { // Top tier (colorful): very rare reward entity.spawnAtLocation(new ItemStack(Items.NETHER_STAR), 0.0F); } else if (difficulty >= 65) { // Dark blue tier: rare reward entity.spawnAtLocation(new ItemStack(Items.DIAMOND), 0.0F); } else if (difficulty >= 49) { // Light purple tier: uncommon reward entity.spawnAtLocation(new ItemStack(Items.EMERALD), 0.0F); } else if (difficulty >= 33) { // Red tier: modest reward entity.spawnAtLocation(new ItemStack(Items.IRON_INGOT), 0.0F); } else if (difficulty >= 17) { // Yellow tier: common reward entity.spawnAtLocation(new ItemStack(Items.GOLD_INGOT), 0.0F); } else { // Green tier: baseline reward entity.spawnAtLocation(new ItemStack(Items.APPLE), 0.0F); } } } ```
