Extra Hard Mode
Extra Hard Mode changes the game rules to create NEW, INTERESTING CHALLENGES for players who have mastered the core game. Unlike Mojang's "hard" mode or other plugins' "hardcore" modes which just punish you more for making mistakes without actually changing game mechanics, Extra Hard Mode delivers interesting new challenges for advanced players.

Recommended Plugins
- Make tree logs and branches fall when chopped with GraviTree. Set "FallingLogsDamagePlayers" to true in its config for an extra challenge!
- For anti-grief, avoid plugins that disable explosions entirely, because that will undermine the cave-in mechanic and the new improved TNT.
- Avoid plugins which allow players to teleport themselves out of danger when they're in combat or lost. Especially avoid plugins which add commands like /home, /back, and /tpa, since they will undermine the difficulty VERY much. Consider instead a teleportation plugin like Population Density, which allows players to teleport only between teleportation posts it places on the surface every 400 blocks.
- You might want to look into balancing villagers. Having diamond gear tradable for very easily farmable materials will undermine the difficulty. I use Rebalance Villagers to make the trades harder.
Metrics
This plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online
- The Metrics version
- Config options that are activated, allowing me to see what people use (or don't)
You can disable the stat collection via /plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml if you wish. If you want to see the stats, you can go here

Thank you for the update, I was confused since the multi-world config page has not made note of the change.
Do you have plans to re-enable multi-world config? What life gets in the way of game play? Good luck on the exams.

Multiple config files dont work. Players not being able to destroy items with lava is a bug. I'll fix it soon as now my exams are finished :).

Posted Feb 8, 2015Am I correct that multi-word configs still don't work? We are running spigot 1.8.
I have not found a setting in EHM, However when it is enabled players cannot use lava to destroy items.

You can try 3.6.1 there I still have the sprint jumping reduced. Setting a players walkspeed weirdly doesnt reduce the jumping speed. I had to manually reduce it on every jump. I got repoorts that player jumping was broken so I removed it. It was working for me, but I didnt have the time to find out what the problem was.

Posted Jan 28, 2015This is one of my favorit plugins. Is it possible to add more options to make enderdragon and wither boss harder? Maybe an option to set their health in presetage, so the normal is 100 but you can increase that to whatever you like. the players of my server just killed the enderdragon, they said it was a real challage, but I want to make it harder next time.
Maybe it is possible to add a hitpoit adjuster for other mobs as well?
Could you add a arrow type to the skelition that gives the player a potion effect, for instance that the skelition has 1% chance of giving you poison or blindness.
I also noticed the problem with items that does not get destroyed in lava, but I kind of like it. if this is a bug that will be fixed, would you consider making an option to toggle it in the config?
Also i noticed that blaze drops blazerods in the (over-)world. I also have ecocreatures so maybe that is the reason.
I would love to se more options to make it even harder.

Posted Jan 17, 2015latest changes to spigot actually fire the entityDamageEvent on item damage
you have a line in monsterrules.java near the end which cancels the events to prevent tnt from blowing up dropped items
it has never worked as far as i know, on my server i know it didn't work for a year
anyway, it works again, unfortunately it protects ALL items from ALL damage
can you put in a damage cause check
i tried to do it myself but i can't seem to build the damn project, it fails alot of tests, i think you should revise the maven depdencies and java build test stuff

Posted Jan 14, 2015Hm. The speed adjustment and slowdown with armor seems kind of useless since by jumping you can work around it. And now you have even more players that jump jump jump ... argh.
I was soo happy with this feature until I noticed that it didn't affect jumping at all.
Sad :-(

Posted Jan 12, 2015Would it be possible to add configuration options for each type of armor rather than just a slowdown for diamond? This way one could set different weights for leather. iron, gold, chain, etc. Making say leather and chain lightest, with gold a bit heavier, iron heavier than gold, then diamond as heaviest. This would encourage people to use chainmail and leather more.

Posted Jan 6, 2015Sems like players are having problems with jumping with the new feature you added (The more armor a player is wearing the slower he walks.). They can only jump up, not forward. Some also say they jumps two blocks. When I turned of the new feature it is back to normal.

You can disable the scoreboard messages in messages.yml.
I think slowing players down just for the amount of worn armor is better than considering the weight of the whole inventory. Im not sure if so much configuration is needed though. I was thinking of just looking at the armor points and using that as a slowdown percentage. Simple yet effective. Players should have to decide if the tradeoffs of wearing armor are worth the benefits. Only problem in vanilla is: There is not a single trade off.

Posted Dec 30, 2014Is there any way to disable the scoreboards (such as weight) without actually disabling the everything that uses them through permissions? It tends to cause conflicts with other plugins that use the scoreboard at times and can cause console spam over time from them such as the McMMO plugin.
Additionally would it be possible to extend the weight system whereas more weight means more hunger and potentially a slowdown in movement speed? Additionally the ability to configure the weight of each type of gear worn such as chain and leather weighing less than iron for instance.
