Extra Hard Mode

Table of Contents

Extra Hard Mode changes the game rules to create NEW, INTERESTING CHALLENGES for players who have mastered the core game. Unlike Mojang's "hard" mode or other plugins' "hardcore" modes which just punish you more for making mistakes without actually changing game mechanics, Extra Hard Mode delivers interesting new challenges for advanced players.

Recommended Plugins

Make tree logs and branches fall when chopped with GraviTree. Set "FallingLogsDamagePlayers" to true in its config for an extra challenge!
For anti-grief, avoid plugins that disable explosions entirely, because that will undermine the cave-in mechanic and the new improved TNT.

Avoid plugins which allow players to teleport themselves out of danger when they're in combat or lost. Especially avoid plugins which add commands like /home, /back, and /tpa, since they will undermine the difficulty VERY much. Consider instead a teleportation plugin like Population Density, which allows players to teleport only between teleportation posts it places on the surface every 400 blocks.

You might want to look into balancing villagers. Having diamond gear tradable for very easily farmable materials will undermine the difficulty. I use Rebalance Villagers to make the trades harder.

Metrics

This plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:

A unique identifier
The server's version of Java
Whether the server is in offline or online mode
The plugin's version
The server's version
The OS version/name and architecture
The core count for the CPU
The number of players online
The Metrics version
Config options that are activated, allowing me to see what people use (or don't)

You can disable the stat collection via /plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml if you wish. If you want to see the stats, you can go here

This has to be an issue with your version of mcpc. Restarting the server should fix it.

Yeah I was planning on doing so, because the plugin has gotten really big. Not sure where to draw the line though. Mobs/Mech sounds like a clear line. Wanted to potentially split it up into even more modules.

@bigscary

Thanks i will see that I integrate it into the main page sometime soon.

Do you think you could break EHM into 2 plugins? EHM Mobs and EHM Mechanics? I love this plugin for all the mechs but it takes so much tweaking for it to play nicely with my plugins that do mob management. I feel there are already so many mob management plugins available - that an EHM Mechs as a standalone without any mob stuff would be very popular.

I know everything is configurable but as a plugin developer myself AND a server owner, I prefer to reduce overhead whenever I can. Broad and sweeping plugins that cover way too much stuff and either interfere or conflict with other more targeted plugins that generally do a better job in their specific role are really annoying IMHO.

Creeper:
      Enable Custom Explosion: true
      Below Border:
        Explosion Power: 4
        Set Fire: false
        World Damage: true
      Above Border:
        Explosion Power: 100 #damage is still done to entities like players and animals. Set it high and see how players react when they die from a creeper blast 50 blocks away :D
        Set Fire: false #set this to true if you want players to be afraid of creepers even on the surface, but not damage your terrain. Firespread should be off of course.
        World Damage: false #on a non private server you want to set this anyway, it will trigger the explosion with no blocks in the first place and not remove blocks later.

I have added some basic support in my snapshot versions and it will be in the next released version. You can disable creeper damage above a given y value to prevents world damage.

Can you intergrate this with WorldGuard? This plugin makes creepers able to blow up flagged walls.

@YourMCAdmin

I agree with you and I would have done it sooner if it would have been that simple. As you know no spawns occur on Mushroom islands at all. I would have to write or copy some algorythm to spawn monsters. Atm all the changes I do are small ones that hook into minecrafts algo. I have planned to write my own spawning algorythm to allow finer adjustments of spawning based on player counts etc. Dont hold your breath for it though, it won't be in 3.4, maybe in 3.5 but most likely in 3.6 :-D .

@dexevil

Yep works and will most likely also work in 1.7 and 1.8 etc.

Firstly, love this plugin. I created a secondary "Anarchy" server from my main server LegitLand. Players are loving it. anarchy.LegitLand.com

I have one suggestion/feature that I would love to see. I have noticed some players are seeking refuge in mushroom biomes. Hostile mobs don't spawn there. Is there a way you could make it so that hostile mobs will spawn there? :) (Or at least give use an option for that)

Those players on those islands are having it WAY too easy. I want to toughen it up for them.

Thanks Diemex! Keep up the good work

@DarkRyuZ7

Issue only exists in 3.4-snapshots. The settings for creepers where being ignored by some code I removed accidentally. Fixed in build #62.

@Chikaze

You want the feature because there are multiple portals spawning in a world, e.g. everytime the dragon has been killed? Or is there another reason you need it?

@vincent01230

Thanks :)
