Create Above the Horizon - V1.5.0 Major Updates

Summary

World-Building & Exploration The world feels more alive and vertical. With the addition of Moog’s Soaring Structures, you’ll now find vanilla-themed floating islands that break the horizon. To complement this, Better Villagers and Guard Villagers transform static towns into living hubs, settlements are no longer defenseless, as trained guards will now fend off raids and monsters, providing a more immersive civilized feel to the world.

Custom Difficulty Scaling (Improved Mobs) The most significant mechanical change is the integration of a difficulty system. Unlike standard survival, the world now "evolves" alongside you:

• Adaptive Growth: As time passes, hostile mobs will naturally spawn with higher health pools, increased movement speed, and harder-hitting attacks.

• Vanilla+ Balance: Every tweak has been carefully calibrated to ensure the game feels rewarding, not impossible. The goal is to keep the vanilla essence while eliminating the late-game trivialization of combat.

• Recommendation: Because this scaling can become quite intense, If you are an inexperienced player, I suggest starting on Easy or Normal difficulty.

• Improved Mobs: Features a custom-tuned difficulty curve. Mobs will gradually gain increased movement speed, health, and damage.
