Overview

Scaling Health (A World That Fights Back) is designed to balance Minecraft's difficulty by allowing both players and mobs to scale in power over time. As players spend more time in the world, travel further from spawn, or kill more mobs, the world's Difficulty value increases. This results in mobs spawning with higher health, increased damage, and a chance to become elite "Blight" variants. To counter this, players can find and craft Heart and Power Crystals to permanently increase their own maximum health and attack strength.
