Mod Harder Farther by MacTso

Mob drops are limited in a .25 second window.  Players who kill 89 mobs in 0.25 seconds will get the experience and drops for 1 mob.

Mobs are boosted in power starting at 1000 meters and increasing to maximum at 30,000 meters.  About 3.3% per 1000 meters.  On multiplayer servers, increase this by about 3000 meters per active player.

At 30,000 meters they have 200% more hit points, do 100% more damage, are 50% faster, and resist 70% of knockback distance.  They drop 100% more experience points.

lootItemsList = ["r,20,minecraft:netherite_scrap,1,1", "u,20,minecraft:diamond,1,1", "u,5,minecraft:emerald,1,3", "c,20,minecraft:glowstone,1,2", "c,3,minecraft:leather_boots,1,1", "c,3,minecraft:emerald,1,1", "c,3,minecraft:book,1,2"]  

Rare items only start to drop at 27,000 meters and drop about every several hundred kills.

An uncommon item drop about 1 in 50 kills

A common items drop about one in 10 kills.

Experience Bottles drop rarely at spawn and increase to 33% at max range.

Two special potions drop about 1 in 40 kills, the "LifeSaving" potion and the "Ogre Power" potion.  Their power increases with range.

Bats occasionally drop leather.  Cave Spiders occasionally drop Coal.

Starting after one minute, one Grim Citadel will be built each 30 seconds until all configured are built. This lets you bring the game up, bring it down, edit the configuration, then restart the game.   Modpack designers can include a customized configuration file.  If you set the count higher than the number configured, then it will slowly add Grim Citadels until they equal the count.

When there are less than 5 Grim Citadels in the world, a new one will rise further away from worldspawn. 

They create a grim aura that boosts mobs and has bad effects on normal creatures up to 1750 meters from the tower..

They inflict a grim curse players slightly starting at 1450 meters away.  .

Strange sounds can be heard in the fog.  Some from the citadel and some to lead adventurers astray.  

By Default, this feature is off.  It can be activated and deactivated in the game with the "/harderfarther makeharderovertime true" command.

By Default, after 360 minutes, any inhabited chunks will slowly become increasingly hostile in various ways.

Players can move on down the road a bit and find a new land sparkling and verdant.

Farm Limiter Only

When mobs drop loot and experience faster than than once per 0.25 (up to 10) seconds in a chunk the extra loot nd experience is cancelled.

On By default.  To turn it off, set limitMobFarmsTimer to 0 ticks manually in the configuration file.  (command planned in later release).

Harder Farther Only

Monsters health, damage, speed, and knockback resistance will be boosted by individually configurable amounts starting at 1000 and increase up to 30,000 (up to 60,000,000) meters from worldspawn.

The command:  /harderfarther setMakeHarderFarther false. controls this option.

Grim Citadels Only

Monsters will be boosted starting at 1750 (from 50 to 6000) meters from grim Citadels.  The boosts increase closer to the Grim Citadels.

The command /harderfarther setUseGrimCitadels true/false controls this option.

Harder Over Time only

By default, Life will be good for 360 minutes (6 hours), then it will get increasingly harder up to 720 minutes (12 hours).  

Move away and find new lands to settle.

The command: /harderfarther setMakeHarderOverTime true/false controls this option.

Default Loot Item Tables 

I encourage modpack designers to add custom modded items to these lists especially "quest" items.

Rare

"r,20,minecraft:netherite_scrap,1,1","r,1,minecraft:netherwort,1,1", "r,20,minecraft:netherite_scrap,1,1","r,1,minecraft:netherwort,1,1", "r,1,minecraft:music_disc_far,1,1","r,1,minecraft:netherwort,1,1"

Common

"c,15,minecraft:glowstone,1,2", "c,1,minecraft:leather_boots,1,1",  "c,3,minecraft:string,1,2", "c,1,minecraft:gold_nugget,1,5"); "c,3,minecraft:emerald,1,1", "c,3,minecraft:book,1,2")

Optional Feature

Grim Citadels are not yet in 1.16.5. I hope to add them after completing all my mods 1.19.1 conversion work. 

Grim Citadels are an optional feature which can give your modpack or game an extra activity or an extra endgame storyline.

The citadels will be built slowly in a throttled manner over about 9 minutes.

Modpack designers and multiplayer server owners may want to edit the configuration file and set locations further out.  Replacement citadels start farther away from worldspawn than current citadels.

Finding Grim Citadels 

As long as it's not on the other side of a mountain, Grim Citadels are pretty obvious from 128 meters away on multiplayer servers and much further in single player.  Using a minecraft map can help you to be sure you have covered an area.

If you use a full color map program like Xaeros, finding grim citadels will be pretty easy.  Just walk around and occasionally look at the map.

Spoilerish Hints

Example- With Default Values, a player is 15,000 meters from spawn.  The monsters are 15% tougher, faster, hit 15% harder, and have a little knockback resistance.  They have 15% chance to drop something from the loot table.

After killing 6 monsters, they average 1 bonus drop which is usually going to be an emerald.   They are at 50% of max distance so they will not get rare loot.

Example- a player is 48,000 meters from spawn.  The monsters are capped at 30% tougher, faster, hit  30% harder, and have a little knockback resistance.  They have 30% chance to drop something from the loot table.

After killing 400 monsters, they'll average 133 xpbottles, and 120 bonus loot items. 

Example- You change the distance from 30,000 to 50,000  mobs will have bonus loot 1% (1000 meters from worldspawn) to 30% (50,000 meters from spawn) of the time.   The monsters will be 1% to 30% tougher.

Example- You change the modifiervalue from 30 to 200.  Mobs will vary from 1% tougher 1,000 meters from spawn to 200% tougher 30,000 meters from spawn (probably unplayably tough!  Zombies with 100 hit points closing from 40 meters away in under 2 seconds and hitting for 12 points per hit), Once the modifier gets to 100%, they will always get a roll on the loot table.  They won't get extra loot rolls as they go from 101% to 200%. They won't get better loot.

Example- You change the bonus loot drops to Copper Coins, Silver coins, and Gold Coins from another mod.   They drop in place of emeralds, diamonds, and netherite scraps.

Example- With default settings, you kill a skeleton at 2500,64,-2500 in the nether.  It has 21 hit points and has a 39% chance to drop a loot item. It won't drop rare items.
