Better Challenge Rooms [outdated]

Description
Edit: This mod is outdated. I released a new version for Repentance. Please download this: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2822310303

Have you ever felt like challenge rooms are not really challenging? And not rewarding enough? Time to make things more interesting!

This mod makes challenge rooms harder by spawning a harder set of enemies. After you clear the challenge room you get a random item!

In normal challenge rooms it spawns an item from the treasure room pool.
In boss challenge rooms it spawns an item from the boss room pool.
In Sheol it spawns an item from the devil room pool.
In Catheral it spawns an item from the angel room pool.

Synergy with More Options: Normal challenge rooms spawn 2 items after you clear them. You have to choose one.
Synergy with There's Options: Boss challenge rooms spawn 2 items after you clear them. You have to choose one.

Every floor has a unique set of enemies that fit to the theme of the floor/environment.
I tested all the waves to make sure everything is fair and challenging at the same time. All tested with default stats and completed successfully.

This mod is the same as my 'Heart of Courage' mod. The difference is that here you dont need to find a trinket, you just need to subscribe to it and you have the improved challenge rooms! If you subscribe to this you no longer need the Heart of Courage mod.

@NotThymer, @elmagoarthuro, @FooFargles, I released a new version for Repentance that works 100% of the time. Redid everything and changed many things. Link to mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2822310303

For me, I get about 50% old challenge rooms and 50% new challenge rooms, seemingly at random. Still love it though!

No longer give items for some reason I'll see if I can fix it.

Does this mod still work?

I was giving myself 'We need to go deeper', compass + brimstone to go straight to challenge rooms and they were identical to vanilla

I only had this mod active
