The most critical value to adjust is `damageIncrease`.<\/p>\n<p>For reference, here are some configuration examples:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Default Setting:** For my server, I use `0.005`. With this setting, at day 500 of Minecraft (approximately 7 real-life days), a zombie inflicts 8 hearts of damage.<br \/>\n&#8211; **High Difficulty:** If you prefer a more challenging experience, you might set `damageIncrease` to `0.5`.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Low Progression:** For a slower progression, values like `0.001` or `0.0008` are recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Adjust these settings according to your desired difficulty and gameplay experience.<\/p>\n<p>## Have You Ever Felt Bored After Getting Diamond Armor?<\/p>\n<p>### The Challenge<\/p>\n<p>In Minecraft, once you\u2019ve equipped full diamond or netherite armor and shield, the game can sometimes become less challenging. For instance, even an Enderman doesn&#8217;t deal much damage anymore, which can make the game less engaging.<\/p>\n<p>### Introducing Our New Plugin<\/p>\n<p>With Harder, you can add a new layer of challenge to your Minecraft experience. Here\u2019s what it does:<\/p>\n<p>#### 1. **Progressive Enemy Damage**<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Increase Difficulty Over Time:** As you advance in the game, the damage dealt by enemies will gradually increase. This makes even well-equipped players face new challenges as they progress.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Customizable Settings:** You can adjust the rate at which enemy damage increases to suit your preferred level of difficulty.<\/p>\n<p>### Why This Plugin?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Revitalize Your Experience:** It adds excitement and challenge, keeping the game engaging even after you\u2019ve reached high levels of gear.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Customizable:** Tailor the difficulty to fit your playstyle and keep the game fun and challenging.<\/p>\n<p>Target Audience: Who is this plugin designed for?
