LocalDiff - Plugin for Tracking Local Difficulty

The LocalDiff plugin for Minecraft 1.21 allows players to instantly determine the local difficulty level in their current chunk. Simply execute the /localdifficulty command to get this information.

How the Calculation System Works

Local difficulty is calculated based on three key parameters:

• Inhabited Time - duration of player presence in the given chunk
• World Time - how long the game world has existed
• Set Difficulty - chosen game difficulty level (Easy, Normal, Hard)

Practical Application

After executing the /localdifficulty command, the plugin instantly analyzes the current chunk and displays the local difficulty indicator directly in the chat. This information helps players assess the potential danger of the area, affecting mob spawning frequency and the overall gameplay difficulty in that location.
