The game is too easy? No problem. This mod adds several new difficulty levels to Minecraft. After peaceful, easy, normal hard, there is now (in order) expert, nightmare, fiendish, cataclysmic, pandemonium, unutterable and insurmountable. I do not recommend going straight to insurmountable difficulty. I picked these names for a reason. The old pandemonium difficulty from version 0.1 is a cakewalk compared to insurmountable. And that is already really really hard.
Here is what happens:

-Mobs are 5% faster
-Spiders can trap players in cobwebs if they are close

-Mob damage factor 3.5
-Arrows have a 5% chance to poison the player
-Mobs have a 60% larger following range
-Skeletons have a 180% larger following range
-Zombies have a 20% chance to spawn with a weapon (including diamond axe now)
-Mobs are 10% faster
-Torches cannot be placed

I have heard of a bunch of awesome ideas to add. One thing i really want to improve are zombie hordes. If you have some good ideas which buffs Zombies should get if they are in large groups, let me know.
