# __True Difficulty Scale__<\/p>\n
__No conflictions!__<\/p>\n
**__WORKS WITH CURIOS, THUS REQUIRES CURIOS API__**<\/p>\n
**Adds 3 New Difficulties; Casual, Expert, and Malicious, each changing how hard the game is with fully customizable and configurable stats, difficulty exclusive items, and difficulty exclusive entities!**<\/p>\n
\u00a0
\nBy using the config, modpack developers or players can customize how difficult the game is, with the ability to lock certain items and entities behind difficulties, raise mob stats depending on difficulty, or even make the game easier depending on what the player chooses. Allows for a diverse range of playstyles, from casual to hardcore, all decided by the player! <\/p>\n
## ___Highly Configurable!___<\/p>\n
Using the “difficultyscaleconfig” config file, you can adjust the stats of the difficulties. This allows you to change how much damage a player deals and receives. (It’s a multiplier)<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Additionally, you can lock certain items behind these difficulties! By adding any item (even from other mods!) under these tags:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
truedifficultyscale:casual_item<\/p>\n
truedifficultyscale:expert_item<\/p>\n
truedifficultyscale:malicious_item<\/p>\n
truedifficultyscale:expert_min_item (___This tag allows an item to be Expert and above, rather than just expert.)___<\/p>\n
An item, however, cannot have multiple of these tags. So make sure they’re limited to one! Any item can be put in the tags, including curios.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Similarly, you can lock entity behind similar tags. Entities with these tags will NOT be able to spawn AT ALL unless a player is playing in the respective difficulty. The tags are:<\/p>\n
truedifficultyscale:casual_entity<\/p>\n
truedifficultyscale:expert_entity<\/p>\n
truedifficultyscale:malicious_entity<\/p>\n
truedifficultyscale:expert_min_entity\u00a0(___This tage allows entities to spawn in Expert or above, rather than just expert.)___<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Again, an entity cannot have more than one tag or it will not work. Make sure they only have one!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
## ___What else can I change?___<\/p>\n
You are able to change specific mob stats for each difficulty! If mobs spawn while a player is in a certain difficulty, you can customize certain attributes of these mobs, such as: <\/p>\n
Max health
\nMovement Speed
\nAttack Damage
\nArmor
\nExperience Drop Amount<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
## ___How do players know what’s changed?___<\/p>\n
In the config file, youre able to explain what each difficulty does in your own words! Players can then access this information by using the command “\/truedifficulty”
\nMake sure to thoroughly explain what you’ve changed for each difficulty!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
## ___How do I change difficulties?___<\/p>\n
By using the new item, Enigmatic Challenge Emblem (given to a player when they join the world), you can open a menu to change difficulties.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Be careful though, as changing a difficulty is permanent unless you acquire another Challenge Emblem.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
