Harder to Get food

HarderToStart turns the safest part of Minecraft into the scariest one. Punch a chicken for food and ten furious chickens claw their way out of the ground and come straight for you. The same goes for sheep, pigs and cows — the four animals every new world depends on now fight back, and they remember exactly who swung first.

Every swarm hunts the player who made the kill. They chase, they path around obstacles, and they will follow you across the world until they are dead. Each animal brings its own threat:

Chicken — Strength I. Ten tiny birds hitting like an iron sword.

Sheep — Resistance I. They soak damage and grind you down through sheer numbers.

Pig — pure aggression. Fast, relentless melee.

Cow — Slowness I for 3 seconds on every hit, so the herd closes in while you crawl.

The swarm only happens once per animal. Mobs born from a duplication never duplicate again, so one kill always means exactly ten mobs — no chain reactions, no world-ending pig apocalypse, no lag spiral. It is brutal, but it is fair.

Built for Minecraft Bedrock Edition 26.40 on the stable Script API, fully event-driven with no tick loops. Works in Survival and Creative, single-player and multiplayer. No experimental toggles required. Just import, enable the pack, and try surviving your first night of farming.
