Difficulty (Entity Condition Type)

Passes when the world's difficulty is one of the values you list.

Type ID: apoli:difficulty

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
`difficulty`	String or array	required	One of `peaceful`, `easy`, `normal` or `hard`, or an array of them. An array passes if the current difficulty is any one of them.

Examples

A single difficulty:

{
  "type": "apoli:difficulty",
  "difficulty": "hard"
}

Several at once, here a curse that only bites above Easy:

{
  "type": "apoli:action_over_time",
  "interval": 40,
  "entity_action": {
    "type": "apoli:damage",
    "amount": 1,
    "damage_type": "minecraft:magic"
  },
  "condition": {
    "type": "apoli:difficulty",
    "difficulty": ["normal", "hard"]
  }
}

Pair it with apoli:if_else to scale a value instead of switching it on and off:

{
  "type": "apoli:if_else",
  "condition": { "type": "apoli:difficulty", "difficulty": "easy" },
  "if_action":   { "type": "apoli:damage", "amount": 1, "damage_type": "minecraft:magic" },
  "else_action": { "type": "apoli:damage", "amount": 3, "damage_type": "minecraft:magic" }
}

[Expressions](/docs/datapack/data-types/expression) also have a

difficulty variable, which reads 0 for peaceful up to 3 for hard, so "amount": "1 + difficulty" scales without a branch at all.
