Dangerous is a balancing mod designed to enhance the challenge of Minecraft, especially when combined with other mods that grant players powerful abilities or additional health. The primary goal of Dangerous is to ensure that as players progress and acquire better gear, the game remains challenging and engaging.
✨ Key Features
- Dynamic health scaling: Enemies gain extra health as in-game days pass.
- Skeleton/Pillager weapon-swapping: These mobs dynamically switch between bows and melee weapons depending on player distance.
- Piglins and Piglin Brutes: Piglins and zombified piglins can spawn with enchanted gold armor. Brutes may rarely wield diamond or even netherite axes, making them truly dangerous!
- Wither skeletons: can now spawn with chainmail/iron armor and improved weapons.
- Illagers with gear: Vindicators, Evokers, and Illusioners can spawn with iron armor (invisible), and Vindicators may upgrade their iron axes to diamond axes.
- Increased creeper speed: Creepers move 1.4× faster, forcing quicker reactions.
- Increased spider speed: Spiders move 1.25× faster, making caves more threatening.
- Spider venomus bite: may apply a venom effect that decreases healing effectiveness during its duration.
- Automatic enchantment detection: You can now use "*" in your enchantment lists — the mod automatically detects and applies all compatible enchantments for each item!
Enemy Gear by Depth: Mobs spawn with stronger gear the deeper they are
- Surface: leather, chainmail, and iron.
- Caves: iron and chainmail, with chances for stronger weapons.
- Deep caves: gold, iron, and diamond armor/weapons.
