Crazy Antarchy 1.0.1 — Balance patch

Balance patch focused on making early and mid-game combat more challenging.

• Added Crazy Antarchy Combat Balance, retaining normal armor, toughness and enchantment calculations.
• Set stage 3, 4 and 5 dragon melee and elemental breath damage to the new stage-specific targets. Stage 1 and 2 damage and the existing maximum HP of 700 remain unchanged.
• Increased melee damage for Ghosts, Cockatrices, Sirens, Amphitheres, Trolls, Ignited Revenants, Ignited Berserkers and Ender Golems.
• Increased damage for Harbinger, Maledictus, Ignis, Leviathan and Ender Guardian, including selected ranged attacks, to challenge players wearing full Protection IV diamond armor.
• Preserved solo Maledictus soul explosion damage and Ignis ground flame strikes because these already bypass enchantment protection.
• Preserved existing quests, progression recipes and loot changes, with solo boss health and defenses unchanged.
• Increased expected Overworld structure placement density by approximately 10% in newly generated chunks. Includes the three shared structure groups in their other dimensions; terrain and biome checks remain active.
• Added Better Villages 3.3.1 and Simply Swords 1.70.2 with required dependencies; improved villages generate in new areas, and new weapon types expand combat choices.
• Added a compatibility datapack to skip two Simply Swords recipes for unavailable optional integrations.
• Added ScalingMobs 1.1 with Combat Balance 0.1.3 integration: nearby survival players scale boss health, armor and balanced damage by the square root of party size. Includes 26 boss types across vanilla, Antarchy, Cataclysm, Mowzie's Mobs and untamed adult Ice and Fire dragons.
• Fixed cross-dimension tracking, late arrivals, repeated scaling after reloads, and dragon attack integration. Scaling preserves damage taken and the encounter's highest party size. Disabled Antarchy's native royal scaling to prevent stacking; identifiable saved royal scaling is normalized without healing the boss.
• Included a matching server pack.

Validated with 185 server checks: 106 combat damage checks and 79 multiplayer-scaling checks. Structure registry loading, Ruined Foundry location, village location and Simply Swords item checks passed. Client graphics and real multiplayer boss fights still need playtesting. Damage depends on difficulty, rage, armor debuffs, status effects and successful combo or beam hits.
