So I added a new difficulty to Minecraft... - Summary

Summary

A gamer has created a custom, nearly impossible difficulty level in Minecraft. They've made numerous changes to the game, including:

* Instant death from lava and permanent burning from fire
* Increased damage from falling on ice, with different types of ice causing varying amounts of damage
* Tools having a 1% chance to randomly break, regardless of durability or type
* Torches burning out after 20 seconds
* Removal of ambient mobs like bats
* Replacement of pigs with cows
* Zombies spawning with baby zombies, random armor, and names of recent YouTube subscribers
* Skeletons shooting fire arrows at twice the speed and dealing double damage
* Spiders being much faster and able to outrun players
* Creepers always being charged and exploding without warning
* Endermen duplicating four times after being hit once

The gamer is offering a free plugin for Minecraft 1.15, and a reward to anyone who can beat the game on this custom difficulty level.
