The mod also includes a global leaderboard system for all players with internet access, accessible in single-player or on servers, though it is currently frozen. An optional 'Cruel' mode, activated via a command, significantly increases the difficulty of boss encounters from any mod, giving them quadrupled health and damage, substantial armor, damage reduction, health regeneration, and protective shields. In this mode, starving and drowning damage become unblockable, mobs have a chance to spawn empowered, and regular mobs may appear with random modpack armor, offering powerful drops that allow for negative enchantments and enchantment limit exceeding. All values and the boss list in Cruel mode are configurable.
