So survival in Minecraft is too easy, huh? Let's change that! This plugin makes Minecraft SMP hard. Really hard. It tweaks a lot of tiny screws to make the game more challenging (and realistic) for those who are bored by the regular difficulty.

This plugin is currently in an early state of development. Please be patient. The first release will follow soon!

Features

Mobs

• wolves
  • wolf packs (multiple Wolves) may become hostile
  • tamed wolves may become neutral again if too far from the player
  • tamed wolves need to be fed every day or they'll become hostile
• neutral mobs are frightened by players and flee
• spiders are always hostile
• zombie pigmen are always hostile
• attacks deal more damage
• hostile mobs do not catch fire in sunlight

Players

• faster exhaustion
• claustrophobia (they are exhausted much faster when they stay in caves for too long)
• they cannot eat while being poisoned
• staying in snow biomes for too long makes them freeze (resulting in faster exhaustion)
• staying in desert biomes (while not in shadow) or near lava makes them sweat (resulting in faster exhaustion)
• wearing a pumpkin helmet makes npcs hostile
• they starve faster
• beds
  • use them regularly to restore your mental health or you will be exhausted much faster
  • using them does not skip the night, but restores your mental health

...and many more to come!

Almost everything is configurable so you can customize everything to suit your needs and skills.
