Unfaircraft (Minecraft Mod)

Woohoo! I am happy to announce that Unfaircraft has been ported to Fabric 1.21.1. For the unaware, Fabric is another modloader just like NeoForge and it’s preferred by players / mod developers who prioritise optimisation or ‘lightweight’ mods. I genuinely though it would be a bit easier to port this mod to Fabric considering that Mixins don’t rely on accessing ModLoader specific things, but nope! I ended up having to use owo-lib (yes that’s genuinely what it’s called) for managing the Fabric port’s configuration interface, which means my Fabric port relies on two dependencies: Fabric API and owo-lib. Optionally, players can use the Mod Menu mod for managing the configurations for singleplayer worlds!

Added my final few mixins for now!

• Doors can… well decide to not work
• Furnaces can overheat and have a chance to explode (fun fact, this was once a Minecraft April Fools joke feature!)
• Ladders are really, really, really, annoying to climb :p
• Glass is very fragile! Don’t dance around on them too much!
• Animals are tired of your antics and can now attack back

I also fixed some weird translation (mapping internal names to actual human readable names) issues, did a final runthrough of my mod’s structure and performed any bug fixes where necessary, and had to fix some bits of code that were using deprecated methods X_X. Also finally wrote an updated README and published the latest builds to CurseForge (pending approval) and Modrinth (available now)! Woooh! Also check out some images I took for demo purposes!

I remembered the nether and the end exists, so hey, let’s make those dimensions unfair! I kinda didn’t really have any ideas, so I looked at making blazes and ghasts naturally spawning in bigger swarms, and making end crystals ridiculously powerful (it insta killed me with full prot 4 netherite and resistance 3) as well as significantly healing the ender dragon a lot more. I also made some modifications to the ender dragon’s AI so that it’s extremely stubborn and does not want to perch. Oh and have fun dealing with the endermen in the end!

Added a LOT more unfair features to mod; this time I kind of focused on mining / villagers. Here’s a full list of everything new I added:

• Iron Golems? Super beefy with reach - they can swim in water now and swim towards you! Now those Minecraft short videos memeing about them are real
• Wandering Traders now offer ‘scam’ trades (as if they didn’t offer scam trades already). Next level tourism scammer
• All villagers gouge prices. Inflation bro.
• Villagers can retaliate! Better not anger them
• Caves can… cave in (get it), after a spelunking session
• Ores might have a nasty surprise inside! Also, ore veins may seem deceptful
• Silk touch and fortune enchantments may not.. work properly
• The floor breaks below you
• Some biomes are hazardous; Snowy -> slowness, Jungle -> poison, Desert -> hunger

Spent ABSOLUTELY AGESSSS rewriting the general structure of my mod; this included revamping the Config class (because it was an absolute mess to work around with and read), and the Mixins as well. Added translations (which in Minecraft is like saying ‘hey, this internal string is equal to X in a readable format’) so you can use external mods like Configured to easily configure this mod inside the game without needing to edit the .toml config file (for singleplayer). You may have also noticed the background has changed hehe :3

This time I’ve added some food-related features to the mod >:)

Feeling peckish? Well you better not overeat! Eating when your hunger is nearly full will give you drastic side effects and leave you feeling a bit bloated (depending on how much you overate). Avoid eating the same foods over and over again, they’ll become tasteless over time. You become hungry quicker too. Tell me, dear reader, when were fridges invented? I’m not sure but with one of the mixins, food items in your inventory can ‘rot’ after a day! Isn’t that so unfair hehe >:D

Added several ‘mixins’ (basically a way of modifying vanilla mechanics through mods) to make the game EVEN MORE UNFAIR!!!! This includes:

• Creepers explode QUICKER and BIGGER!! They’re more deadly now
• Zombies have a very small chance to summon reinforcements if damaged (by player)
• Potions have a chance to ‘backfire’, aka give you the opposite effect (e.g., strength -> weakness)
• Totem of undyings have a chance to be a dud (fail on you)
• Endermen can become aggro and hostile just by you standing near them

and like a few more that I can’t remember loll. All of this is configurable, so if you find the game too unfair or maybe want a more CHALLENGING experience, you can always tweak the chances in the settings which I have set up :D
