Make Monsters Scary Again! (MMSA)

Have you ever thought Minecraft was getting too easy? Do you wish that the monsters were threatening like they once were when you started playing? The Make Monsters Scary Again (MMSA) Addon does exactly what it says it does: make the Minecraft monsters scary again. This addon adds no new mobs or features, instead, it tweaks the stats of the vanilla mobs to make them threatening once again.

Currently, only the monsters pictured below have been changed, but more monsters and other changes will be added in the future!

Other Features:

Sleeping is for nerds!

I removed sleeping because skipping the night takes away most of the challenge of Minecraft. Now you must use think about how much time you spend outside more carefully so as to not waste it! Beds still reset your spawn point.

Addition of The Hunger Rework addon

The Hunger Rework is another addon I made that was always meant to go alongside this one. It limits how long you can sprint and makes food heal you when eaten. All Hunger Rework features come in a second pack when downloading becasue it uses the player.json file which sometimes competes with other addons. Plus not everyone likes this change).

Note: Play on easy or normal difficulty when using this addon.It was not designed for Hard difficulty.
