Combat Expanded/Sandbox

This module adds custom modifiers to armor, weapons, and mobs as well as a ramping difficulty curve the longer you survive.

Sandbox

Module Type	Stand Alone
Created by	Thanathor
Compatible MC Versions	1.19.2, 1.20+

Features

Combat Expanded expands on the game's difficulty. Mobs will be given additional stats and gear scaling over time. This gear can be dropped for the player with special modifiers that alter the players stats and abilities.

Home Bed

Players can designate a bed as a "Home Bed" by sleeping in it. Only the last bed slept in by any player can be a Home Bed. While a player is online their Home Bed serves as a beacon that lowers difficulty in an area of 128 blocks around it. Only one Home Bed can affect an area at a time.

Mobs

As a player stays alive in the world for longer the mobs that spawn around them will grow in strength. Mobs will spawn with higher health, damage, movement speed and with better armor and weapons.

Mobs will also receive additional bonusses depending on what biome they spawn in.

Spawners

Mobs spawned from spawners do not benefit from any modifiers. Mobs are considered spawner spawns if they spawn in the air.

Blaze, Drowned, Slimes, Magma Cubes, Phantoms, Shulkers, Ghasts, Guardians, and Elder Guardians will gain modifiers even if spawned from a spawner.

Zombie Alternatives

• Zombie reinforcements will not drop their equipment.

Phantoms

Phantoms will no longer spawn from insomnia. Instead they can be found above high mountains, unless a players Home Bed is nearby. Phantoms will take damage upon contact with water.

Item Modifiers

Custom armor and weapons are dropped at 8.5% and 20% respectively, scaling with looting. Any items dropped like this will be prefixed with a special modifier.

Technical Details

Player Difficulty

Each player has their own Player Difficulty, which is calculated every 5 minutes or on respawn.

Player Difficulty = Playtime * (1 - Death Multiplier) * World Difficulty, where

Playtime: goes up by 1 every 5 minutes a player is online, up to 100.

Death Multiplier: is calculated on death by: Death Multiplier = Death Multiplier * 0.75 + 0.2, every time difficulty is calculated it is reduced by 0.01 for every 5 minutes since the last death.

World Difficulty: is based on world difficulty: 0.3 for easy, 0.4 for medium and 0.5 for hard

Mob Difficulty

When a mob spawns it will be assigned a Mob Difficulty of its own to modify its stats.

Player Difficulty * Difficulty Modifier + Random Offset + Illager Bonus, where

Player Difficulty: Difficulty taken from the closest player

Difficulty Modifier: is calculated based on the environment where the mob spawned:

• Start with a random value between -0.1 - 0.1
• If it's raining: +0.2
• If the mob spawned on the surface and it is night time: +0.1 for crescent moon, +0.2 for quarter moon, +0.3 for gibbous moon or +0.4 for a full moon
• If mob spawned underground (Dark): +0.3
• If in Mountainous biomes: +0.2
• If an active Home Bed is within 128 blocks: -0.4

Random Offset: a random value between -5 and 5

Illager Bonus: applied to Illagers under certain conditions:

• Pillager patrol leaders: +10
• Pillager/Vindicator raider: +3*(raid wave)

A mobs Difficulty is then used to calculate their stats. Each mobs has their own Stat Page with Base and Caps for each stat. Each stat calculates its score by applying a normal distribution of the Base, then taking a percentage of that equal to the mobs Mob Difficulty. This score cannot exceed the Cap listed on the mobs Stat Page.

Finally the actual stat is calculated as follows:

Max Health = score * 1

Attack Damage = score * 0.5

Movement Speed = score * 0.02 (% multiply_base)

Armor = score * 1

Armor Toughness = score * 3

Mob Modifiers

If the chance for a modifier is underlined it scales up with Mob Difficulty, the displayed chance is for 100 Mob Difficulty, e.g. an 80% chance at 100 Mob Difficulty would be a 40% chance at 50 Mob Difficulty.

History

Version	Date	Change
1.19	22 Aug 2022	Released Combat Expanded
1.20	23 Sep 2023	Updated for 1.20 Module is no longer experimental
1.20.4	25 Jan 2024	Updated for 1.20.4 Introduced the Difficulty Update

Previous Versions

MC 1.20.2 Version

In the 1.20 version Difficulty was calculated in a much simpler way, ranging from 1-10, going up by one for every Minecraft day a player survived.

The 1.20.4 Difficulty Update reworked almost all of how mob stats were calculated to provide a smoother and slower increase in difficulty while making it easier to balance.

Unidentified items were also removed after this version, instead items are "identified" as soon as they drop..

MC 1.19 Version

Many Modifiers have been significantly changed or completely replaced since the original 1.19 version. As the 1.19 version of the module was an experimental version there is no easy upgrade path to 1.20.

The Focused, Berserkers, Poised, Reckless, Guarding, Merchants armor and Deliberate, Light, Ascended weapon Modifiers were removed in the 1.20 update, replaced by Fluxed, Poisonous, Fractal, Archery, Totemic, Equestrian for armor and Giant and Chiming for weapons.
