Distant Dangers

Difficulty Scaling
Mobs become stronger based on distance from spawn (0, 0)/custom spawn:
– Health, Damage, Armor, and Speed (lol) all scale

– Toggle which of the stats you actually want to scale.
– Default: +100% stats per 1000 blocks
– Caps at 5x by default
– Example: At 3000 blocks, a zombie has 80 HP instead of 20 HP

XP Scaling
Mobs drop more experience the further from spawn:
– Default: +100% XP per 1000 blocks
– Caps at 10x by default
– Rewards risky exploration

Entity Spawn Restrictions
Block specific mobs or entire mods from spawning near spawn:
– Support for wildcards: modid:*entity*@distance
– Restrict individual entities or entire mods
– Perfect for gating dangerous mobs by distance

Structure Generation Restrictions
Prevent structures from generating near spawn:
– Same wildcard support as entities
– Separate from entity restrictions

Custom Spawn Points
Choose where difficulty scaling begins:
– Use a structure as the center point (e.g., village, stronghold)
– Or set manual coordinates
– Distance calculations adapt automatically
