Features

Levels, Levels and more Levels (LevelSettings.yaml)

So you want creatures to have more levels, but you don't want to die instantly to a level 100 boar when you start the game?

Well have I got the config file for you.

Level settings allows configuration of creature levelup chance, creature stats, max level, increased level up chance based on distance from the center- and respectively biome based configs for all of that.

Biome Configuration

Lets take a look at some of the things you can do with this, and what better spot to start out than the default All biome configuration (which applies to every creature by default).

Here is a section of the default example config, lets walk through what everything does.

distanceScaleModifier: 1. 5        # The influence of distance ring based scale increases (1. 5 means 150% of the bonus value will be applied)

spawnRateModifier: 1. 5            # Spawn rate of every creature is 50% higher (1. 5), which means every spawn has a 50% chance of being 2 creatures.

creatureBaseValueModifiers:        # These values modify the base stats of every creature in this biome (eg, all creatures)

BaseHealth: 1                    # The default health of all creatures is 100% (1), numbers below 1 reduce health, above increase is (2) is 200% health for everything

BaseDamage: 1                    # Default damage of all creatures is 100% (1)

Speed: 1                        # Default movement speed of all creatures is 100% (1)

Size: 1                          # Default size of all creatures is 100% (1)

creaturePerLevelValueModifiers:    # Per level modifiers are applied per level, eg each star will give this value to the creature

HealthPerLevel: 0. 4              # Each star provides 40% more health (0. 4)

DamagePerLevel: 0. 1              # Each star provides 10% more damage (0. 1)

SpeedPerLevel: 0                # Each star does not increase speed (0)

SizePerLevel: 0. 1                # Each star makes the creature 10% bigger (0. 1)

damageRecievedModifiers:          # Damage reduction or increases

Poison: 1. 5                      # Everything recieves 50% (1. 5) more damage from poison (that includes players)Note: creaturePerLevelValueModifiers do not apply to characters. But

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Star Level Systems by MidnightsFX expands creature star levels infinitely, allowing players to level up creatures, fish, and trees, add modifiers, adjust spawns, control loot scaling, modify stats, and spawn towering bosses. A niche gameplay mod with 8 endorsements, last updated August 2026.

✨ Key Features

Adds modifiers to creatures and adjusts spawn rates.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Infinite star levels means endgame scaling never caps out.
  • Tweak spawns and loot to fine-tune your world's difficulty.
  • Fresh update (Aug 2026) — actively maintained.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only 8 endorsements — small community, limited feedback.

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if the mod requires a mod loader like BepInEx or MelonLoader — the description doesn't say, so test with a clean save first.
  • Start with small spawn adjustments to see how the modifiers affect gameplay before going wild.
  • If you're on a multiplayer server, make sure all players have the mod installed to avoid desync.
