Harder Life

# **!!! Notice: This mod is still in beta !!!** If you have any suggestions or encounter any bugs feel free to report them. **_Disclaimer: This mod is meant to be played without other mods (except performance mods), if you encounter errors or some features from other mods result inaccessible because of HarderLife you can report it but it's not guaranteed that it will be fixed. You can find a list of known compatibility issues so far at the bottom of the mod page._** This mod aims to make the game a little bit harder, changing the regular gameplay loop to take more time to complete, allowing to focus on different playstyles at the start of a world instead of rushing to beat the dragon before initiating the fun part of the game. Some mechanics of the base game have been changed, reworked or removed, mainly following my personal vision on how the base game should be and taking ispiration from some already existing minecraft mods (like Better Than Wolves) or modpacks. It's highly suggested to use the JEI mod to view all the item recipes and informations on how to obtain certain items or do certain things. I also recommend using the latest version of the mod to avoid encountering bugs/glitches that can eventually even impeed progression. ## This mod page is also in beta Some of the content from the mod is missing, it will be added soon ### New Features: <details> <summary>Spoiler</summary> **Player debuffs when at low health or low hunger points:** The player will receive some debuffs when being at lower or equal than 4 health points (hp) and lower or equal than 4 hunger points. Health debuffs: <=4 hp Blindness and Slowness III; <=2 hp Nausea. Hunger debuffs: <=4 pt impossibility to jump; <=2 impossibility to break blocks. **Food poisoning:** Eating raw meat is no longer a valid option, since doing so has a really high chance of inflicting food poisoning to the consumer, which is almost certaintly going to kill you if you don't get rid of it or outheal it rapidly. **Consumables cooldowns:** Food, potions and other consumables have a cooldown after being consumed, this varies depending on the type of item consumed, usually better items have longer cooldowns, all these items apply a cooldown only for themselves when being consumed, so food variety can help refill the hunger bar quickly. **Gloom dangers:** Staying in a dark place (light level of 0) is going to slowly kill you, other than applying lots of debuffs, like blindness and really reduced mining speed, so always keeping a light source with you is necessary when mining or in your base at night time. **Fusion Forges:** The regular Fusion Forge, made from bricks, allows for early game smelting of some materials and for fusion of materials into alloys (like gold-copper made from gold and copper ingots). If the top part of the Fusion Forge is obstructed with a block while processing items the pressure is going to build up in the forge and it will eventually blow up. The Nether Fusion Forge allows to make middle game items, like nethersteel, netherite and ender eyes. (Jei recipes will be implemented soon) **Armor weight:** Weight is a new effect applied to the player when wearing some types of armor, this effect makes hunger consumption higher when running or jumping and makes movement harder in water, the higher the amplifier the higher the effect's power. Armor is divided into 3 types: really light armor (leather and chain), light armor (diamond and netherite) and heavy armor (gold, iron and gold-copper). Very light armor doesn't apply any level of the Weight effect; Light armor applies one level of Weight per armor piece; Heavy armor applies two levels of Weight per armor piece. **Small tweaks:** Grass paths give speed to the player when walking on them. Stairs, trapdoors, doors and other block variant recipes give result amounts that make more sense based on material quantity required in the process. All axes and hoes require one less material to craft. Some vanilla uncraftable items have become craftable, like saddles, name tags, chain armor, etc. **Gold-copper alloy set:** This new ore is an alloy made from the fusion of gold and copper in the fusion forge. It has a full set of items: armor, tools and weapons, all stronger than iron but weaker than diamond, as a good upgrade before being able to get diamond gear. **Mob powerups & abilities:** All the mobs are more resistant to hits, becoming even more resistant when Hard Mode turns on. Mob types like zombies and skeletons have a chance to spawn with one or more of this upgrades: better armor, better weapons, status effects (strength or speed), riding an horse (only for skeletons). Zombies have the chance to infect the player on hit, spiders spawn cobwebs on the player when attacking (has a cooldown), creepers have the chance of spawning as charged (higher when Hard Mode is on). Phantoms have a chance to wither the player on hit. S
