Distance Difficulty

This datapack adds a set of modifiers to the game editable through commands during gameplay to increase the difficulty of the world the further out a player traveles. It's plan is to act as a soft border to encourage growth closer to spawn while not restricting exploration, while also adding adventure to those who travel further.

It serves many purposes: Mainly to spice up the lacking sense of risk from adventure, protecting any certain desired playstyle whomever uses it chooses, modular for really any case it could be helpful.

All modifiers are easy to change through an in-game function menu and are balanced to still make exploration novel, adding challenge to a stale world.
