Zombies Improve Over Time
This datapack increases zombies's stats over time. The changes are made to be gradual, increasing very slightly each minecraft day up to day 100. Difficulty is calculated for each player separately. New players will start with weak zombies while players who have been playing for a while will have stronger zombies.
NOTICE: This datapack is discontinued, instead use the Hostile Mobs Improve Over Time datapack: https://modrinth.com/datapack/hostile-mobs-improve-over-time
Stat increase
Stats that change include:
- Health
- Damage
- Reinforcement chance
- Knockback resistance
- Movement speed
- Armor and armor toughness
Day 50 enables all zombies to break doors
Day 70~ - enables all zombies to pick up loot
Day 80 - some zombies change to baby/or have leather armor
Day 95 - Zombies might gain strenght and speed when near player
some other stuff
Commands
If you wish to test out how hard the zombies are, use functions diff:day25, diff:day50, diff:day75, diff:100 or use command "scoreboard players set <player> Timeroo <number> . To reset your score use diff:reset, or diff:resetall to reset all of players difficulty.
Timers
Timer for difficulty is per player, and increases every minecraft day (20 minutes). sleeping does NOT forward this timer. Max difficulty is day 100+ and difficulty does not increase after that.
Installing
like your ordinary datapack, put zip file in your datapacks folder of your world
Unistalling
use function diff:unistall and then remove your datapack from your datapacks folder
Other
I am planning on making a version of this datapack for each common mob, then making a datapack consisting of all of them
