Harder monsters

Use the web editor

The easiest way to change these settings is the web editor. It shows every option and checks what you type. This page shows the files, so you know what the editor writes for you.

During a blood night, all monsters get tougher, not only the special ones. These settings are in mobSettings in the world file.

mobSettings:
  damageModifier: 2
  healthMultiplier: 2
  forcePhantoms: true
  creepers:
    blockDamage: false
    always: false

Damage​

damageModifier: 2 means monsters hit players twice as hard. This counts for normal and special monsters, and for their arrows and fireballs too. Set it to 1 to keep damage normal.

Health​

healthMultiplier: 2 makes normal monsters feel twice as strong. Players deal half damage to them.

Special mobs with the DEFAULT health setting get twice their normal health instead. See Special mobs.

Phantoms​

forcePhantoms: true makes phantoms come for every player, even players who slept recently. When the blood night ends, or the player leaves the world, everything goes back to how it was.

Creepers​

  • blockDamage: false means creeper explosions don't break blocks. They still hurt players.
  • always: false means this only counts during blood nights. With true, creepers never break blocks in this world.
