📊 How Scaling Works
Changes to mobs/bosses only take effect if they were spawned within a 100-block radius of the required number of players
When a boss spawns or when players approach an existing boss:
Health = Base Health × √(Nearby Players)
Damage = Base Damage × √(Nearby Players)
Armor =
- If base armor > 0: Base Armor × √(Nearby Players)
- If base armor = 0: 5 + √(Nearby Players)
