Pepsi's Chaos Core

Main Features

This mod is designed for experienced Minecraft players seeking a true challenge. It's perfect for those tired of standard difficulty or using modpacks with overly powerful equipment. Chaos Core maintains the vanilla game spirit while significantly increasing survival difficulty.

The mod's difficulty progresses as you advance in the game. At maximum level, you'll face:

• Mobs spawn with non-removable armor and weapons, sometimes with totems of undying
• Random potion effects on hostile creatures
• Mobs can ride spiders, phantoms, dolphins, and even turtles
• Increased numbers of baby zombies and chicken jockeys
• More hostile mobs on the map
• Zombie generals in full netherite, diamond, or iron armor with two totems
• Mobs that can pick up items always do so
• More dangerous creepers and ghasts
• Blood moon event with dramatically increased spawn rates
• Zombie horses during rain and thunderstorms
• Ability to disable the mod with a single command

Scoring System and Automatic Difficulty

By default, automatic mode evaluates your in-game progress. Obtaining iron, diamonds, armor, and achievements earns points. Maximum score is 86 points. Difficulty is determined by the player with the highest point count.

For manual configuration, use commands:

/trigger chaos_core_set_difficulty_vanilla
/trigger chaos_core_set_difficulty_easy
/trigger chaos_core_set_difficulty_normal
/trigger chaos_core_set_difficulty_hard
/trigger chaos_core_set_difficulty_chaos
/trigger chaos_core_set_difficulty_auto

Gameplay Features

Mobs with armor don't drop it upon death unless it's vanilla equipment. Potion effects include speed, resistance, strength, and others. Multiple enhancements on a single mob are possible.

Enemies can spawn in groups, including spiders with cave spider riders. Skeletons can ride phantoms, while drowned can ride dolphins or turtles.

Creepers have modified explosion parameters and can ride phantoms. Zombie horses spawn only during rain and disappear at dawn or after the rider's death.

During blood moon events, the world fills with hostile mobs that chase the player all night. You can wait it out in shelter or sleep through it.
