Introduction
This datapack is part of my personal world and attempt to make minecraft more challenging for myself. The datapack has been tested immensly through personal play. The Ravager Grief, shady Zombies and Farm Tremplers parts of the datapack are what add a real level of challenge, while everything else are small world details. This datapack is perfect for an already existing world, and new ones as it immediately affects the world and your progression won't ruin the immersion.
Instructions
Download the .Zip file and extract, place the contents inside your datapack folder of your world.
Description
This datapack will add the following new procedures
randomly every minute:
Spiders and
cave spiders will
produce cobwebs where they are sitting; making cave exploration and prolonged stay in a world, feel more alive and menacing in the least lit places.
Pigs will
turn grass blocks into
coarse dirt.
Zombie Pigmen will
spread nettherack into
stony material and
soulsand into
dirt & sand material.
Magma Cubes will
melt netherrack into
magma blocks.
Skeletons will
fertilise stone, dirt and
gravel with
mushrooms and
dead corals!.
Creepers will
fertilise (coarse) dirt into grass,
change (cobble)stone material into their
mossy variants including stairs and slabs and lastly
leave grass on
grass blocks and
ferns on
gravel.
Ravagers will
break blocks around them, making village wall-breaching a thing and generally
making raids harder. Obsidian can stop them!
The datapack is highly configurable and you can easily remove any parts you don't like, if you're for example interested in the alive world more than the challenging world aspect.
The previous all work nicely into bringing your cave expeditions to life. Also happens
immediately:
Passive land-mobs as well as
zombies and skeletons will
tremple nearby crops.
All Zombie Variants will
remove torches in a 2 block radius square around them. This adds immensly more challenge to the world as your light source is expendible. Personally I boost zombie reinforcements stats (60%) with this and have negative gamma values(-0.39) for my world light. You can change this from the "options" file in your .minecraft folder. Neither the reinforcements nor shadows are on this datapack.
All Zombie Variants will
wither saplings to
dead bushes.
Bug Report
I will be grateful if you report anything you might find working odd with this datapack, so I can quickly publish fixes.
Btw, I was looking for a datapack that makes spiders to produce cobwebs. This is the right one.
