Dynamic Difficulty

Dynamic Difficulty is a highly customizable mob leveling system, designed to address the precarious balancing act in adventure modpacks between player strength and mob strength.

Mobs are assigned a level based on factors like entity-specific starting levels, zone bonuses, and strength of nearby players. Everything is configurable!
Dynamic Difficulty was originally based on the Auto Leveling mod by Daripher,

Current Features:

• Configure which attributes are modified per level, and their amount
• Distance/depth/height-based leveling (via config, or per-dimension via datapack)
• Entity-Type (and entity tag) setting overrides - override dimension-based leveling
• Structure-based (and structure tag) level bonuses to all entities within structure(s)
• Biome-based (and biome tag) level bonuses to all entities within biome(s)
• Player-based level bonuses (See Compatibility section below)
• Loot modifier/condition to inject loot into specific mob levels
• Area Name and Level Title Text for leveled areas (Dimensions, Biomes, and Structures) upon entering
• Rare, tiered potions and crystals that drop from leveled mobs, used to level up your own pets/other mobs
• Displays level next to entity name, colored based on estimated difficulty relative to player
