Description
Dangerous is a balancing mod designed to enhance the challenge of Minecraft, especially when combined with other mods that grant players powerful abilities or additional health. The primary goal of Dangerous is to ensure that as players progress and acquire better gear, the game remains challenging and engaging.

- Wither skeletons: can now spawn with chainmail/iron armor and improved weapons.
- Vindicators with gear: Vindicators may upgrade their iron axes to diamond axes.
- Increased creeper speed: Creepers move 1.4× faster, forcing quicker reactions.
- Increased spider speed: Spiders move 1.25× faster, making caves more threatening.
