# Pillagers Improve Over Time
\nPillagers get stronger the longer you play. Difficulty is calculated for each player separately. Improvements are gradual, taking place every minecraft day (20 minutes).<\/p>\n

## NOTICE: This datapack is discontinued, instead use the Hostile Mobs Improve Over Time datapack: https:\/\/modrinth.com\/datapack\/hostile-mobs-improve-over-time <\/p>\n

### Stat Increase
\nStats that change include:
\n – Health
\n – Speed
\n – Knockback resistance
\n – Armor with blast resistance
\n – Fireworks
\n – Multishot
\n### Timers
\nTimer for difficulty is per player, and increases every minecraft day (20 minutes). sleeping does NOT forward this timer. Max difficulty is day 100+ and difficulty does not increase after that.<\/p>\n

### Commands
\nTo test out how hard the pillagers are, use functions pillager:day25, pillager:day50, pillager:day75, pillager:day100 or use command: \/scoreboard players set Pilldif . To reset your score use pillager:reset, to reset all of players difficulty, use pillager:resetall.<\/p>\n

### Installing
\nLike your ordinary datapack, put zip file in datapacks folder of your world.<\/p>\n

### Unistalling
\nRun function pillager:uninstall and remove the datapack from datapacks folder<\/p>\n

### Other
\nI am planning on making a version of this datapack for each common mob, then making a datapack consisting of all of them (This is the eighth mob improvement datapack I made).<\/p>\n

### There is now Hostile mobs improve over time datapack which includes this + many more hostile mobs, you can download it here – https:\/\/modrinth.com\/datapack\/hostile-mobs-improve-over-time – but if you wish to play with only some of them, links are below<\/p>\n
