Maximum Difficulty
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

What it does
It sets Minecraft's global difficulty value to the 32-bit integer limit which means literally everything in the game becomes absurdly overpowered. Skeletons kill you in one-shot no matter how overpowered you are, zombies always wear armour, spiders always have potion effects and many other crazy quirks.
