Features

Combat Expanded expands on the games difficulty. Mobs will be given additional stats and gear scaling over time. This gear can be dropped for the player as Unidentified weapons or armor.

Mobs

General Changes

Mobs can be given bonus points to some of their stats, these points are then randomized between 0 and their current value based on normal distribution and stat buffs are applied:

  • Max Health: each point corresponds with +2 health, capped at +30
  • Attack Damage: each point corresponds with +0.5 damage, capped at +7
  • Movement Speed: each point corresponds with +2% speed, capped at +30%
  • Armor: each point corresponds with +1 armor, capped at +7
  • Armor Toughness: each point corresponds with +5 toughness, capped at +35

Mobs will use the Difficulty Score of the nearest player upon spawning, normally capped at 10.

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.

Items

Obtaining and Identification

Custom weapons and armor are dropped with the same rate as naturally-spawned equipment at 8.5%, scaling with looting. Any items dropped like this will be prefixed with "Unidentified" and will work identical to their vanilla counterpart.

Unidentified items can be identified to unlock their special effects. Weapons are always identified on their first use damaging any mob or player while armor needs its activation requirement to be fulfilled (armor with the "equipped" requirement is identified immediately).

On identification a sound will play and the item will restore half of its lost durability, the Unidentified prefix is replaced with the name of the modifier (unless the item was renamed).

Technical Details

Difficulty Calculation

Each player has their own Difficulty Score, based on the minecraft days they have spent in the world in total (Dt) and the minecraft days they have spent since their last death (Da). Both of these values are capped at 10.

The formula for the Difficulty Score depends on the world difficulty.

Easyː ROUND((Dt*Ds-4)/14), Difficulty Score is capped at 7

Normalː ROUND((Dt*Ds-2)/13), Difficulty Score is capped at 8

Hardː ROUND((Dt*Ds)/10), Difficulty Score is capped at 10
