Everything is configurable, check the wiki for more informations about configurations
For the health system to work, we change the base max health when new entity spawn, for ever, the entity will always have that health on the world even if the mod is removed
For the damage system to work correctly the mod overwrites the damage configuration from assets and increase it, but if you remove the mod this overwrite will no longer exist, and the entity will have the previously damage from configuration.
For the harvest system to work correctly the mod overwrites the harvest system and increase the multiply result, if the mod is removed the additional multiply will no longer exist.
The mod is very compatible with other mods, any incompatibility you can contact me.
Make a backup of the world before adding this mod, any error can drastically increase the life of a creature which can ruin your gameplay.
By default the blacklist with "game:player" is enabled, because of course we dont wanna get the players to receive the buffs from distance when entering in the server, but if you want feel free to remove it.
Adding lower values to the stats increase every... can cause performance problems in high numbers of status on low end cpus, this calculations is made every time a entity creature spawn in the world.
