Hunt Specific Mobs for Challenge While Others Remain Peaceful

Creating a Custom Difficulty Balance

Use data pack tags to designate only the mobs you find challenging or interesting as hostile, while keeping others peaceful. This lets you customize your difficulty without affecting the entire mod.

Selective Hostility Setup

Edit your hostile.json data pack file to include only mobs you want to fight. For example, you might keep Wardens and Withers hostile for late-game challenges while leaving Zombies and Skeletons peaceful.

`json

{

"values": [

"minecraft:warden",

"minecraft:wither"

]

}

Combat Preparation

For your chosen hostile mobs, prepare appropriate armor, weapons, and healing items. You can farm other mobs peacefully to gather resources for these encounters.

This hybrid approach lets you enjoy peaceful exploration and farming while maintaining combat encounters against specific threats you find engaging.
